Turning Every Building in Drenthe Into a Filterable Energy Map
For the Province of Drenthe, seeing energy data building by building opens up a much clearer picture of what is happening on the ground.

When a storm crosses the network, every minute counts: which lines have tripped, which substations are flooding, where the crews are and who is off supply. Icon Map puts the whole network, the weather and every alert on one live map, from the national picture down to a single tower in 3D, inside the Power BI reports and Microsoft Fabric workspaces you already use.
The Swiss transmission grid (Swiss Federal Office of Energy) with an illustrative operator and a fictional storm · imagery and terrain: swisstopo · 3D in Icon Map for Fabric
Network operations you can see
SCADA, protection relays, substation sensors, weather services and work management already put the state of every asset in your data platform. Icon Map shows it where it is: the line that tripped, the tower that fell, the substation the river is rising towards, the crew on its way, and the customers waiting for power.
Build network and asset reports in Power BI with Icon Map Pro, or bring live telemetry, 3D assets, weather and playback together in Microsoft Fabric with Icon Map for Fabric. One organization-wide license, no extra GIS software.
Transmission grid · Switzerland · Storm Orvane
The real Swiss 380 kV and 220 kV grid as a fictional storm crosses the country: lines trip and come down, substations near rising rivers raise flood alarms, warnings are issued and crews are dispatched, until the last circuit is restored. Click an alert or zoom in to see the detail in 3D. The operator and the storm are illustrative.
Network: electrical installations above 36 kV (Swiss Federal Office of Energy, open government data), towers from OpenStreetMap. Imagery, terrain and buildings: swisstopo (SWISSIMAGE, swissALTI3D, swissBUILDINGS3D). River flood statistics: FOEN hydrology. The operator, Storm Orvane and every fault, alarm, warning and crew movement are fictional. 3D assets, live telemetry, playback and weather are features of Icon Map for Fabric.
How it works
SCADA and the energy management system, protection and sensor telemetry, the asset register, work management and weather services, into Microsoft Fabric through Eventstream or Data Factory.
Lines, towers and substations from your GIS, on terrain and aerial imagery from the Icon Map Catalog, with 3D towers and substation equipment that string their own conductors.
System status, alerts, warnings and restoration progress beside the map, on the control room wall and in your Power BI and Fabric reports, filtering together.
Across networks and assets
Trips, faults and customers off supply on the map as they happen, with crews, restoration progress and estimated restoration times.
Forecast wind, rain, snow and lightning over lines and substations, with the assets most at risk ranked before the storm arrives.
River levels and flood zones against substations and cable routes, sensor alarms on site, and where barriers and pumps are needed.
Condition, age and inspection findings by tower, span and bay, with drone and helicopter patrol imagery where it was taken.
Tree fall risk and clearance along every span, from aerial and LiDAR data, with work planned where the risk is highest.
Loading by circuit and substation, constraints and where new connections, storage and renewables can join the network.
Crews, vehicles, helicopters and stores on the map, dispatched to the nearest fault with the parts they need.
Site access, intrusion and safety events at substations, and regulatory reporting of interruptions by region.
