"Ho Chi Minh City power outage information online map" also known as "Power outage management map" is developed by EVNHCMC. This is a product that uses IoT technology combined with data integration from many different information systems. This application allows the management of the power supply status (on/off) of all customers (~2.7 million) in real time and provides a detailed and accurate visual display of this information on the geographical map. This helps EVNHCMC closely manage power outages, implement effective operating solutions, and provide timely and accurate information to customers, thereby improving customer experience and satisfaction.
Award in "Automation in Smart Power Grid" category by EVNHCMC on Power Magazine's website
At the same time, EVNHCMC was honored for winning the award in the category "Automation in Smart Power Grid" from Power Magazine - USA. The Smart Grid project (DAS) helps reduce the frequency, time of work as well as complexity of work, thereby improving the overall safety level for workers, especially in poor conditions of severe weather. In Ho Chi Minh City, distribution grid incidents mostly occur in hot, peak seasons or storms, so they often cause more potential dangers for workers in the process of identifying and handling incidents.

The application of the DAS automation system (FLISR) allows EVNHCMC to collect remote equipment data from the field to the control center, thereby using intelligent data analysis algorithms and making reasonable decisions. The system allows for quick handling in isolating incidents and re-supplying power to unaffected areas through smart devices on the grid. Along with many other solutions that EVNHCMC is implementing such as applying liveline construction technology in new installations, equipment repair and maintenance, livestream safety monitoring, and the Workforce Management System, contributing significantly to improving overall safety for field workers at EVNHCMC.
According to the 2022 Smart Grid Index (SGI) scoring board conducted by Singapore Power Group, EVNHCMC has achieved 71.4/100 points, ranked 47th/94 Power Companies in the world. In particular, the monitoring and control of the power grid (Monitoring and Control) achieved the maximum score (4/4 points). The entire power grid has been operated automatically, including 02 control centers (main and backup geographically independent); 57/57 110kV unmanned substations; 100% of medium voltage power grids operating fully automatically, capable of self-detecting, isolating incidents and re-supplying power within < 1 minute for unaffected areas; 100% of distribution substations being remotely monitored, with the function of instantly notifying customers of power outages.
In the coming time, EVNHCMC will keep on implementing digital transformation, maintaining an advanced level according to the assessment of independent organizations and consultants, and developing a smart power grid in-depth, deserving to be the leading unit of Vietnam's power industry in the application of science, technology, and innovation.
