Composite fault mapping

A composite fault map processor, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor;
• the processor, when operating, being configured to:
• determine a composite location probability distribution for the location of a line fault along an electrical line of an electrical distribution system;
• output a graphical user interface (GUI) that provides the composite location probability distribution;
• identify an environmental event associated with the line fault based on report data received at the processor;
• overlaying visual indicator representing the environmental event in the GUI;
• and
• augment a trouble ticket associated with the line fault for dispatch of a service crew to include information characterizing the environmental event.

A method for overlaying a visual indicator of an environmental event onto a map comprising:

• determining a location probability distribution for a location of a line fault along an electrical line of a power distribution system;
• outputting the location probability distribution in a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising a map depicting a portion of the power distribution system;
• identifying an environmental event associated with the line fault based on a report;
• overlaying a visual indicator representing the environmental event in the map of the GUI;
• and
• augmenting a trouble ticket for dispatch of a service crew for the line fault with information characterizing the identified environmental event.
