Abstract

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium to receive from customer devices, sensor messages indicating a power state of on or off, a location, and a timestamp; select an element of a utility system based on the sensor messages; determine a power state of on or off for the element based on the sensor messages and a location and time pertaining to the element; store a temporal and spatial model that includes an outage event; receive weather data pertaining to the element; generate an outage model based on the temporal and spatial model and the weather data; receive forecasted weather data; calculate a predicted outage pertaining to one or more elements of the utility system based on the outage model and the forecasted weather data; and transmit a message that includes the predicted outage.
