Case Study: Central Georgia EMC cuts outage durations with SurvalentONE FLISR from Survalent

Central Georgia Electric Membership Cooperative reduces SAIDI by nearly 50% with Survalent

Central Georgia Electric Membership Cooperative (EMC), a utility serving over 55,000 customers in Georgia, faced challenges with service reliability due to storms and high winds. They sought to improve outage durations and operational efficiency, requiring a solution that offered system interoperability to prevent operators from wasting time toggling between complex applications. This led them to partner with vendor Survalent and implement its SurvalentONE ADMS platform.

Survalent's solution centered on its model-based FLISR system, which uses real-time data to quickly diagnose faults, isolate damage, and restore power. The implementation provided significant results for the customer: SAIDI was reduced by nearly 50%, from 130 minutes to 65.8 minutes within two years, and SAIFI fell by 32%. Field crews also spent 20% less time restoring outages, which improved productivity and reduced costs for Central Georgia EMC.
