Distribution Automation (DA) Fault Location Isolation and Service Restoration (FLISR)

This dataset provides detailed records of automated fault detection, location, isolation, and restoration events in electric distribution networks using reclosers, sectionalizers, and switches. It enables utilities to analyze outage durations, customer impact, device performance, and restoration efficiency, supporting reliability improvement and operational optimization.

Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 800 rows came out of a blueprint — 22 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with

FLISR event ID and circuit/feeder ID
Fault detection: overcurrent relay, recloser operation, voltage sag
Fault location: distance from substation, device ID
Isolation: automated switch operations to isolate faulted segment
Service restoration: restore unfaulted segments via alternate feeders
Total restoration time (typically <5 minutes for automated restoration)
Customers affected: faulted segment vs. momentary vs. restored
IEC 61850 GOOSE messaging for peer-to-peer device communication
