Event History Types and Statuses

Event Types:

  • Load Test (blue) – a test initiated through the Avise interface in which a system was transferred to and ran on emergency power for a user-defined period of time.
  • No Load Test (green) – a test initiated through the Avise interface in which a system generator(s) ran for a user-defined period of time.
  • Load Shed (blue) – an event to reduce the load on the emergency power supply system at the request of the utility company.
  • Outage (red) – a system detected loss of normal power for at least one of the ATS in the system.  Planned or unplanned, emergency events are tracked in the same manner as a Load Test.

Event Status:

  • Complete – Events with no post checklist items that auto-completed or events with post checklist items that have been completed and saved in the Event Details.
  • Incomplete (orange) – Events that have post checklist items that are pending completion of the Event History calendar.
  • Canceled/Aborted – Tests initiated through the Aurora Platform interface can be “aborted” if necessary.  Aurora Platform tracks these and provides as much data as possible in order to account for a potential run time or switch activity event though the test was aborted.  The Compliance report is generated with “Aborted” in the title of the report.
