CROW - Control Room Operations

CROW Operations Event Logging is a unique and powerful logging tool designed specifically to support the activity of electric utility control room operators by—

• Simplifying and standardizing the process of logging events on the grid, including forced outages, planned outages, restorations, operating restrictions, and unusual conditions,
• Accelerating control room communications that are critical to reliability and that can help avert cascading outages, and
• Capturing comprehensive detail about grid events when an operator requires.

With CROW in the control room, operators have the ability to focus their energy and specialized skills entirely on ensuring grid reliability.

Simplify your logging processes with CROW:

CROW Operations Event Logging simplifies and accelerates the activity of your control room operators.

Forced outages can be logged in seconds while CROW validates the equipment names and the event information entered.

Notifications are automatically sent to internal staff or external stakeholders who have requested pager, SMS, or email notifications for specific equipment, events, or areas of business.

Customized operations reports are automatically generated and delivered on a scheduled basis or on demand without any burden on control room staff.

Standardize your logging processes with CROW:

CROW Operations Event Logging standardizes your logging process by validating the equipment. CROW also validates the information that is entered to describe the event affecting that equipment.

By standardizing your grid operations data you can—

• Automate and target your notifications and grid operations reports,
• Enforce access and permissions that comply with regulatory code-of-conduct rules, and
• Apply powerful business analytics to your historical grid operations data.

CROW is a comprehensive tool:

CROW Operations Event Logging allows your control room staff to quickly capture the basic information about an event on the grid but it also allows operators to systematically document extremely comprehensive detail about an event when it is needed.

Details such as related outages, protection operation, and lightning location can be documented for future reference by control room staff or for communication to other departments interested in additional analysis or statistical reporting.
