PUC Docket o. 2884 Cities' 16th, Q. #15 Page 2 of 4 g. When easuring the duration of any outage, interruption or irregularity event, for each of the three ethods a Retail Custoer ay use to initiate a report, explain fully how TCC/AEP treats and easures for copliance reporting purposes: (1) the initial Retail Custoer call; (2) any delay between the initial Retail custoer call and TDSP receipt of callhotice; (3) TDSP receipt of callhotice. h. Provide all docuents analyzing the efficiency of REP or Retail Custoer notice and reporting of outage, interruption and irregularity events inforation to TCC. 1. What actions, if any, has TCC undertaken if any to increase the tieliness and accuracy of Retail Custoer and REP reporting of outage, interruption and irregularity events? Response o. 15: a. The Trouble Entry Reporting Syste (TERS) is a software progra utilized by TCC for the ain purpose of electronically capturing inforation associated with custoer service outageshnterruptions. Unique TERS entries are ade for each custoer call. When considering the response to this request, it is iportant to understand that the "three ethods that Retail Custoers ay usell to report outages are not left to the discretion of the custoer, but are decided by each Copetitive Retailer (CR). Each CR is responsible for inforing its retail custoers how to report outages using one of the three options. The three reporting options and associated entry into TERS are as follows: 1. Report taken solely by CR via telephone and electronically transitted to TCC -- electronic essage would be received by AEP and autoatically directed into TERS 2. Report taken by CR via telephone and call forwarded to AEP -- AEP Custoer Solutions Center Agent creates TERS entry 3. Report taken directly by AEP -- AEP Custoer Solutions Center Agent creates TERS entry if via phone conversation; TERS entry perfored autoatically through custoer inputs if via IVR (interactive voice response) phone call or via aepcustoer.co website visit Other service "irregularities" are responded to in a different anner, by creation of a field investigation order. These other service "irregularities" are captured and classified by the Custoer Solutions Center Agent based upon the custoer's description as "PART OUT", "DIM LIGHT", "FLICKERIG" and "BRIGHT- DIM". 84
PUC Docket o. 2884 Cities' 16th, Q. #15 Page 3 of 4 b. TCC uses IEEE Standard 1366, which is available fro IEEE's website at http://www.ieee.org as the guideline for classifying a Retail Custoer call report as a sustained outage/interruption. Other service irregularities are identified based on the custoer's description using classifications of "PART OUT", "DIM LIGHT", "FLICKERIG" and "BRIGHT-DIM". If there is not an outagehnterruption, then an "irregularity" can also be entered per custoer's description in the "O-TRBL" field. c. See response to a., above. d. TCC treats the ters "outage" and "interruption" as synonyous and does not separate custoer reports into an outage vs. interruption classification. TCC reports are developed to coply with PUCT Quality of Service reporting requireents and include annual outage indices/perforance easures as follows: Report ae Syste SAIFI Report Syste SAIDI Report Distribution Feeder 1 Indices - SAIFI Distribution Feeder Indices - SAIDI Purpose Meet PUCT Quality of Service reporting requireents Gauge syste perforance relative to regulatory requireents Meet PUCT Quality of Service reporting requireents Gauge syste perforance relative to regulatory requireents Meet PUCT Quality of Service reporting requireents. Identify highest (worst) 1% feeders Meet PUCT Quality of Service reporting requireents * Identify highest (worst) 1% feeders Intended Audience PUCT TCC Manageent PUCT TCC Manageent PUCT TCC Manageent PUCT TCC Manageent e. See response to d., above. f. TCC does not use an "irregularity" classification. on-outagehnterruption custoer reports are classified according to the custoer's description and 85
PUC Docket o. 2884 Cities' 16th, Q. #15 Page 4 of 4 forwarded to the field operations for follow-up. TCC has no such reports as requested. g. (1) - (3) The duration of an outage/interruption is easured fro the tie of the first notification to AEP to when field crews restore electric service. A service "irregularity" (PART OUT, DIM LIGHT, FLICKERIG and BRIGHT-DIM) duration is not easured. h. TCC is not aware of any such docuents. i. In addition to the iproveents identified in response to Cities' Second Request for Inforation, Question o. 65, there have been enhanceents to the processing of outage reports to expedite the restoration of service.
