CGI worked with CRIM to design the \u201cIntelligent Decision Support System for Storms\u201d module to optimize the restoration of power grids in the event of major outages.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overview<\/h3>\n

The famous \u201cbusiness traveller problem\u201d is commonly referred to as the type of work in logistics or operational management that aims to optimize journeys to cover a predefined set of geographical points. Such problems occur, for example, during severe interruptions to power supply networks such as those caused by\u00a0 ice storm crises in Qu\u00e9bec or hurricanes in the United States<\/p>\n

Project<\/h4>\n

In 2013, CGI and CRIM have been working together to design the\u00a0Intelligent Decision Support System for Storms<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0module as part of the large-scale mobilizing project\u00a0Equation<\/strong>\u00a0(\u00c9coloTIC), which aims to develop and showcase new products from the IT industry that will reduce CO\u00b2 emissions, promote the reduction of energy consumption and enable the development of alternative systems with a positive impact on the environment.<\/p>\n

The goal of this partnership was to develop an innovative module for restoring power grids in the event of major outages, such as the one caused by Hurricane Sandy in New York in 2012. This module is now integrated into CGI\u2019s PragmaSMART solution, which is designed to manage and ensure the operation of power distribution networks and the workforce assigned to them, in order to improve real-time workforce management.<\/p>\n

CRIM has leveraged its expertise in operations research, software architecture and development, agile methodology and big data to develop, with its partner, a solution that meets the needs of electrical distribution companies in a commercial context.<\/p>\n

This project is particularly innovative thanks to its ability to handle very large problems, as well as its clever and efficient implementation of operational research algorithms.<\/p>\n

Benefits<\/h4>\n

CRIM developed the technology and contributed to its pre-commercialization. The advantage offered by CRIM to the company lies in the access it gave CGI to specialised resources in mathematics and algorithm creation that it did not have at its disposal, since its business expertise is above all operational. The module has been integrated into CGI\u2019s software and is available for sale to electricity distribution companies. The project with CRIM enabled CGI to regain its leadership position in the United States and break into the European market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
