    We reached out to a BGE Transmission engineer and he was able to get some material via CEATI and EPRI databases for SPIA and FRAM.  CEATI has a report using the WRF and WObs models of ice accumulation and EPRI had reference to SPIA in their 3rd party resources for data analytics activities, which has some mention of SPIA among other weather forecast models (see page 2-32 and 2-33). For detailed info on SPIA, the whitepaper on “Development And Testing Of An Ice Accumulation Algorithm” might be helpful as well. See below a summary, of these items:

    1. CEATI Report No. T113700-3384 – Validation of a  Rime Ice Accretion Model Using Field Data  (WRF & WObs) – subscription needed
    2. Attached – Since full report requires subscription, sharing CEATI 3384 summary presentation file
    3. Attached – Development And Testing Of An Ice Accumulation Algorithm
    4. Attached – An analysis of southern US ice storm frequency from 2000-2009
    5. EPRI – Third-Party Resources for Data-Analytics Activities (#3002006522) – Reference to page 2-32 and 2-33 of the EPRI catalogue – https://www.epri.com/#/pages/product/000000003002006522/?lang=en-US – subscription needed
    6. Index ranges and related Utility interruptions – https://www.nationaloutages.com/forecasts/spia/scale

    Hello – I work for an electric utility in Kansas. I’m trying to understand the difference between FRAM and SPIA for ice modeling. Do you know what the advantages are of either model? Specifically, we’re worried about better understanding how ice impacts our electrical distribution lines during inclement weather. If you even can just point me to a place I can learn more about FRAM and SPIA, that’s fine too.  I can read!
