Advanced Distribution Management Systems (ADMS)

Managing today’s distribution grid requires a unified and intelligent approach. Utilities are facing a convergence of challenges, including aging infrastructure, rising customer expectations and the rapid integration of distributed energy resources. An advanced distribution management system (ADMS) is a critical platform to empower utilities to overcome these obstacles. Acting as a trusted partner, 1898 & Co. guides you through the complexities of ADMS deployment to see that the implementation enhances grid reliability, optimizes performance, and creates a foundation for a modern, resilient power network.



HOW WE HELP

1898 & Co. provides comprehensive services to help you successfully deploy an ADMS platform equipped with the advanced applications needed to streamline operations and improve grid resilience. We help you:

  • Enhance grid awareness using advanced applications like power flow and state estimation.
  • Automate grid restoration and self-healing functions through fault location, isolation and service restoration (FLISR).
  • Improve outage response by streamlining trouble call management and crew dispatch processes.
  • Strengthen grid control through remote device monitoring, centralized control and effective alarm management.
  • Optimize voltage levels across your network using advanced applications like volt/VAR optimization and conservation voltage reduction (VVO/CVR).

OUR APPROACH

As your implementation partner, our approach helps you realize the full potential of an ADMS platform, where the combined power of distribution supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), outage management systems (OMS) and distribution management systems (DMS) works in concert to improve grid reliability and operator effectiveness.

Our strategy is informed by deep experience with a wide range of industry-leading platforms, building your solution for long-term success. Our team:

  • Develops a strategic foundation through detailed capability assessments and a compelling business case.
  • Selects optimal-fit technology for your specific operational needs.
  • Implements and integrates software solutions and installs field devices to maximize your value through end-to-end execution.
  • Maintains operational support after implementation to help you optimize your ADMS investment.
