Network Manager SCADA/DMS Distribution Network Management

Managing distribution networks demands flexible IT-solutions and competent support understanding the work process of control center operations. That is why ABB develops and supplies network management solutions tuned to user requirements and ready for new challenges.

Enhancing your distribution business Network Manager SCADA/DMS isa real-time information system for all operational activities in a modern distribution control room. It improves the information made available to the operators, field crew personnel, customer service representatives, management and, ultimately, to the end customers. In the new world of power distribution you must compete to win customers. Daily, every distribution enterprise meets newchallenges and has to improve productivity and reduce operating and maintenance costs while providing customers with a reliable and secure supply and a broad range of services. To achieve rapid success, the effective use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is essential.

The distribution networks of tomorrow will not be the same asof today. The aging infrastructure of the grid has been acknowledged for quite some time, but the market forces driving grid transformations are more urgent than ever. Utilities face many challenges to improve the methods of power delivery and utilization. Some of these challenges include; integration of control room systems for better workflow, new consumer demands, environmental concernsleading to increased amount of renewable power generation and security of supply.

The development of Smart Grids will change not only the way the grid is build but also have a great impact of how it is managed. In the future grid, energy is not only flowing the traditional hierarchal one way from a few central sources of power production to a number of loads but rather in a multi-directional powerflow. When people’s use of electricity changes as a result based on real-time information of pricing, then the traditional loads and load patterns will be different and put new demands on the network management and its control systems.

Network Manager SCADA/DMS is ready to take on the challenges of tomorrow’s grid and how it will be managed.
