Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) is software platform, which is integration of several operational systems providing automated outage restoration, and optimizing distribution grid performance. ADMS solution includes distribution management system (DMS); automated fault location, isolation, and service restoration (FLISR); demand response management system (DRMS); Volt-vQAR optimization (VVO), and conservation voltage reduction (CVR).
ADMS works as a real-time system for handling and managing operations in a distribution control area. It provides monitoring and control, network optimization, network analysis, and outage management capabilities in an integrated software platform, enabling effective management of assets on a platform developed to meet the growing requirements of distribution operators.
OSI, Siemens, Oracle, Schneider, and GE – PROMINENT MARKET PARTICIPANTS IN ADVANCED DISTRIBUTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM MARKET
Power distribution providers are eagerly looking for solution that can improve reliability and reduce costs overcoming numerous challenges such as grid automation, distributed energy resources (DER), communication, changing consumption patterns, micro-grids and other market segment which is driving grid modernization and primarily altering the way distribution operations occur.
