Distribution Management System

Advanced power applications within the ADMS solution

ETAP Distribution Management System (DMS) is an intelligent geospatial (GIS) based distribution network solution that proactively reduces peak demand, optimizes network assets, while assisting distribution networks deliver electricity more efficiently, reliably, securely, and economically.

Geospatial Electrical Diagram

Visualize, analyze & modify geospatial electrical models and simulation results
Network Connectivity Analysis

Continuous electrical topology processing of the system for real-time conditions
Distribution State Estimation

Switching Sequence Management

Build a complete switching sequence plan and execute it, all in one step
Switching Optimization

Optimize tie-point configuration based on multi-objective requirements
Load Forecasting

Predict and trend system loading based on algorithms that adaptively correlate input variables like weather conditions.
Operation Monitor

Track, alarm and schedule maintenance for field equipment based on number of operations

Key Features

Distribution Management System software is built on existing and proven ETAP Real-Time™ solution and integrates with GIS, eSCADA, OMS and other applications such as Automated Meter Reading (AMR), and Customer Information Systems (CIS).

As part of the Smart Grid Solution, ETAP Distribution Management System provides the necessary mission critical applications for managing, controlling, visualizing, optimizing and automating distribution networks from state-wide to city-wide power distribution networks as well as Microgrid applications for industrial/commercial facilities.

ETAP Distribution Management System integrates into your existing system and ‘mines’ the data layer such that information pertinent to your tasks is quickly calculated and summarized in order to make informed operating and business decisions.

DMS and DNA provides advanced decision support capabilities for safe and reliable operation of the distribution network.
