[Geowanking] Mapping to report power outages

[Edward Vielmetti]

I've collected a large set of power outage maps here

http://vielmetti.typepad.com/vacuum/2011/06/power-outage-maps.html

with screen captures of more than 50 different ways that
utility companies visualize the impact of storms and other
problems on their infrastructure.

I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with any literature in
the field of mapping for utility companies - in a cursory
search I find patent 6259972 (Sumic, 2001), and this 2004
survey of the costs of "reliability events".

thanks

Ed
