b'STAGE 3Technological Solutions& Field ImplementationOnce the project roadmap is laid out and infrastructureWith the technological advancements today, many of and system requirements are selected, utilities mustthese key applications will have solutions that rely on complete and implement the project design. Significanta convergence of both the Operational Technology hurdles on this portion are navigating through the (OT) and Informational Technology (IT) aspects. One ever-changing technology available and determining key example where such a convergence is required the correct vendor to provide it. is in an ADMS deployment. ADMS functions include automated Fault Location, Isolation, and Service Critical decisions must be made when completing theRestoration (FLISR); conservation voltage reduction; overall design and implementation. Some of thesepeak demand management; and volt/volt-ampere-specific decisions include: reactive optimization. In effect, ADMS transitions utilities Substation & distribution protection & control design from paperwork, manual processes, and siloed software systems to systems with real-time and near-real-time Substation & distribution equipment data, automated methods and integrated systems. Distribution line compensation [1] This deployment requires collaboration from an Substation & distribution communication & operational standpoint (i.e. installing new line equipment) network engineering and an informational standpoint (i.e. data points Energy management system (EMS) & advancedreceived from deployed devices through an integrated distribution management systems (ADMS) support communications network.)Project managementUlteig.com | We listen.
