| Manufacturer's Comment | Network Manager SCADA/DMS includes applications for SCADA, Distribution Management and Outage Management to meet the needs of utilities. The system maintains a complete connectivity model of the as-built electrical network. Processing inputs from EMS/SCADA and crew reports, the system retains an accurate representation of the as-operated state of the electrical network. |
Network Manager™ DMS is used to manage the operation of the electrical distribution network and the field crews assigned to operate, maintain and repair the network. Network Manager DMS improves the utilization of the distribution network; increases productivity of the workforce; and enhances information flow between operations, engineering, management and customers. The system maintains a complete connectivity model of the as-built electrical network. Processing inputs from EMS/SCADA and crew reports, the system retains an accurate representation of the as-operated state of the electrical network. Using other information inputs, such as substation loads, customer trouble calls, relay fault data and crew location, the system can analyze the status of the network for loading (current and voltage), outages, fault location and dispatch crews in the most efficient manner. Thus Network Manager DMS provides a more accurate picture of the electrical distribution network performance than a standalone SCADA system, and can allow for faster and more reliable responses to system disturbances. |
