Energy Management Systems (EMS)

The bulk electric system is the backbone of the grid, and maintaining its stability in the face of new market dynamics and complex conditions requires exceptional control and visibility. An energy management system (EMS), built upon a robust transmission supervisory control and data acquisition (TSCADA) platform, provides the advanced applications and real-time control needed to manage this mission-critical environment. Serving as a trusted partner, 1898 & Co. guides utilities through the challenge of deploying and modernizing these systems, giving transmission operators the tools to maintain reliability and optimize the grid.
