Implementing ArcGIS Utility Network for Balanced Three-Phase Grids 

Electrification, DER growth, and bi-directional energy flows are pushing traditional grid models beyond their limits. A high-fidelity digital twin is no longer optional. 

This new 2026 edition of our widely used whitepaper shows how ArcGIS Utility Network can become the foundation of a scalable, operational digital twin — grounded in real‑world DSO implementations.

Based on real-world experience from Elvia, Norway's largest DSO (2 million customers),
and two years of hands-on implementation work, this 2nd Edition delivers a reference
architecture you can implement with confidence.

What's inside: a complete data model for ArcGIS Utility Network covering asset types,
containment hierarchies, tracing rules, attribute management, and special cases plus a
fully functional sample dataset ready to explore in ArcGIS Pro.

Written for executives, GIS specialists, solution architects, planners, and field engineers
with a reading guide so every role finds what matters most.
