The benefits of Demand Response for utilities

The European utility industry is changing in substantial ways with respect to electricity system needs, customer requirements, and regulatory policy. Network operators and managers face the inevitable adoption of Demand Response (DR) technology and practice. This paper details the unique ways in which each department within a utility can benefit from DR. Download the white paper

How the convergence of IT and OT enables smart grid development

The goal for any utility that invests in smart grid technology is to attain higher efficiency and reliable performance. A smart grid platform implies the convergence of Operations Technology (OT) – the grid physical infrastructure assets and applications–and Information Technology (IT) – the human interface that enables rapid and informed decision making. This paper describes best practices for migrating to a scalable, adaptable, smart grid network. Know more

Leveraging EcoStruxure™ ADMS to maximize renewable benefits

Solar is the most abundant renewable energy source available, but the ability to harness and distribute it alongside existing sources of energy is new territory for many utilities and ISOs. Accurate forecasting of this variable resource is critical for maintaining an efficient and reliable network. This paper will discuss how innovations such as advanced distribution management systems (ADMS) combined with weather forecasting can provide visibility and modeling tools to maximize the benefits of distributed generation.

Enhancing utility outage management system (OMS) performance

Traditional grid outage management systems suffer from two fundamental flaws: they lack an accurate, current representation of the grid network model and they typically do not integrate with the systems that monitor and control the actual grid. These shortcomings result in longer outages, higher costs, and in lower levels of customer service. This whitepaper outlines the evolution of utility outage management and describes how new Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) tools address these two gaps. Read More
