Introduction to AspenTech OSI Advanced Distribution Management System
AspenTech OSI Advanced Distribution Management System™ (ADMS) is an integrated solution suite designed to actively manage distribution grids, offering advanced applications for outage management and distributed energy resource management. It enables electric distribution system operators to meet increasing demands for safety, reliability, and efficiency while providing timely and accurate data about power system conditions and outages. The system is a comprehensive tool that streamlines grid operations and enhances network optimization.
Key Features of AspenTech OSI ADMS
The AspenTech OSI ADMS provides real-time network topology and power flow analysis, coupled with robust visualization capabilities and study modes across all functionalities. It offers outage management features that are highly scalable and easily configurable, enabling efficient job and crew management, mobile communication, and reporting. Additionally, the Operator Training Simulator included in the system allows for hands-on experience with various events and scenarios, such as switching, system faults, overloads, and storm operations. The Switch Order Management feature facilitates study, simulation, and pre-operational checks fully integrated with SCADA, DMS, and OMS.
Benefits of Using AspenTech OSI ADMS
Implementing AspenTech OSI ADMS can help utilities achieve resiliency and operational excellence by introducing intelligent automation from the grid edge to the control room. The system enhances grid reliability, ensures timely response to outages, improves crew management efficiency, and provides operators with the tools and training necessary to handle various grid scenarios effectively. By integrating the ADMS into their operations, utilities can optimize grid performance, reduce downtime, and meet regulatory requirements while enhancing customer satisfaction.
