Core platform · Analytics
With Grid Data Enhanced Analytics. Your network on a map, live.
GDEA ingests the connectivity model from ArcGIS and real-time SCADA telemetry, joins them, and serves one operational picture — plus fault location, reliability, capacity, asset health, and revenue analytics — across electricity, gas, and water.
The network eye
GIS and SCADA were never meant to live apart
The connectivity model knows what the network is; SCADA knows what is happening to it. GDEA joins the two — permanently, at full scale — and every analysis falls out of that join: where the fault is, how reliable each feeder is, how much headroom remains, which transformer is ageing fastest.
What falls out of the join
Live network map
Vector tiles keep 1.5 million assets fluid at every zoom, with live telemetry and events overlaid on the model.
Fault location, twice over
From measured fault current, and independently from which meters went dark — both shown on the map.
Reliability engineering
SAIDI, SAIFI, CAIDI, MAIFI, and CEMI computed to IEEE 1366 from the utility’s own event history.
Capacity headroom
How much more each feeder can take, and exactly which constraint stops it — per feeder.
Asset health
Transformer ageing and loading analysis identifies the assets wearing out fastest, before they fail.
Revenue protection
Unbilled energy and metering anomaly detection surfaces leakage hiding in the data.
Model quality analysis
Continuous checks on the imported GIS model — connectivity, phasing, and data gaps, found before they mislead an operator.
Communications view
The comms topology from field device to utility, separating telemetry outages from power outages.
Protocol gateway
Native DNP3 and IEC-104 termination — a strictly one-way translator into the platform.
Monitoring-only by design
No command path to the field exists — an architecture decision enforced in code, making GDEA safe for every desk.
How it works
See it, end to end
Import the model
The connectivity model arrives from ArcGIS — assets, topology, phasing, geometry — checked by continuous model-quality analysis.
Terminate the protocols
The gateway speaks DNP3 and IEC-104 to the SCADA estate, translating one way: inward.
Join and store
Telemetry lands against the model through a high-throughput Kafka-to-database path — timescaled for history, tiled for the map.
Serve every audience
The same joined picture powers the control room, the planner, the reliability engineer, and the executive dashboard.
Use cases
Where it earns its keep
Control-room awareness
One live map of what the network is and what is happening to it, right now.
Storm and outage response
Fault locations from two independent methods shorten patrols and restoration.
Regulatory reporting
IEEE 1366 indices computed from source data, defensible in front of a regulator.
DER & load-growth planning
Capacity headroom per feeder shows where the next EV fleet or solar farm can connect.
Evidence-based asset management
Replace transformers on evidence of ageing, not on age alone.
GIS data quality programmes
Model analysis turns the GIS clean-up backlog into a ranked worklist.
Under the hood
Technology
Part of the Grid Data Family
Every family application shares one identity platform, one design system, one registration pattern, and one deployment path.
Meter-side truth beside GDEA’s network-side view.
Embeds GDEA insight into dashboards and wallboards.
Supplies SCADA and meter feeds in every test environment.

A working demonstration takes thirty minutes — on our environment or yours, with realistic simulated data.
