Forward-looking information

Modern electricity transmission and distribution networks are undergoing dramatic changes. They have to cope with more distributed and renewable energy resources, more data from smart power equipment and meters, and more pressure to run efficiently. This all results in more work and stress for network operators. Help is at hand in the form of SCADA energy management systems, advanced distribution management systems, demand-response management systems and advanced business analytics. These systems, when integrated and operated in concert, enable utilities to move from reactive to proactive operation of the grid, enabling it to operate closer to its limits. The well-established Ventyx solution, Network Manager advanced distribution management system, together with the company's demand-response management system and FocalPoint analytics, deliver the new distribution system optimization applications required to manage evolving grid operating conditions.
