Technological Advancements Beyond Smart Grid : Session 3 presented by John McDonald

Participants will be familiarized with technological advancements beyond smart grid. The technological advancements include three key industry subjects. The first subject is Asset Performance Management (APM), including minimizing outages through analytics and outage restoration techniques. The second subject is Advanced Distribution Management Systems (ADMS). The first session will introduce ADMS and the second session will discuss ADMS advanced real-time applications. The third subject is the convergence of IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operations Technology) within an electric utility to enable effective Enterprise Data Management.

Agenda for Session 3: Advanced Real-Time Applications in ADMS
1. Advanced ADMS Applications Integration
2. Real-time ADMS Applications: Topology Processing, Dispatcher Load Flow, Distribution State Estimator, Load Estimation, Fault Detection, Isolation, Restoration (FDIR), Distribution Reliability Indices, Integrated Volt/VAR Control, Contingency Analysis
3. ADMS Integration with Other Utility Systems: Outage Management System (OMS), Distributed Resource Management System (DRMS), Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI)
