Description
Summary:Many major disturbances in the supply of electric power have taken place in Finland in last decade causing significant problems in the functioning of the modern society. In major disturbances there are multiple organizational actors like fire and rescue services, emergency response centers, police and municipalities along with distribution system operators (DSOs) and network repairers involved in the management of disturbance situations. In previous studies, lack of shared situation awareness in disturbance situations has been noticed. After the latest storms in Finland it is proposed that DSOs should be obligated to co-operate with public authorities and deliver information to them in major disturbances. In this paper, a concept of the shared situation awareness in disturbances has been presented. The paper also presents a demonstration based on the concept. (4 pages)
