Distribution Management System Base | The Oracle Utilities Network Management System (NMS) operations model, and tools to support and administrate the model and integration to leading GIS vendors. Functionality that allows operators to record switching actions electronically via interaction with a map view of the covered service area and operations model. Includes: Web Workspace, Web Switching Management, Model Management, Topology Validation, Configuration Assistant, GIS Adapters (Esri, Intergraph, GE Smallworld), Schematics (schematica) |
DMS Option: Distribution Management Power Flow | Functionality that provides an integrated three phase unbalanced power flow solution built into the system operator's normal business processes and work flows to provide enhanced decision support. Includes: Power Flow, Weather Data Adapter, DERMS Adapter, Profile Adapter |
DMS Option: Distribution Management Advanced Feeder Management | Functionality that allows operators to query the system for recommendations of specific switching situations, including load shed events. The system can present a set of switching actions to address a set objective which the operator can review, modify, and utilize. Also the ability to see hourly peak forecasts for the next 24 hours and daily peak forecast for the remainder of the week to provide advance warning of potential load issues, allowing proactive responses. Includes: Suggested Switching, Load Shed & Restoration, Feeder Load Management |
DMS Option: Distribution Management Fault Location Isolation and Service Restoration | Functionality that, based on SCADA triggers such as lockouts and fault indications/location, determine the specific protective device which has cleared a sustained fault, identifies the de-energized sections, and determines the available alternate supplies for re-energization. Includes: Fault Location, Isolation, and Service Restoration |
DMS Option: Distribution Management Volt/VAr Optimization | Functionality that helps operators to recognize and be able to affect voltage on the network, utilizing the power of the system to prepare and present recommendations to the operator for action. Includes: Network Optimization |
DMS Option: Distribution Management Fault Location Analysis | Functionality that determines the distance downstream of fault measurements where a fault is estimated to have occurred. All potential fault locations are displayed in graphical and tabular formats and the operator can incrementally reject or confirm fault locations as crews provide feedback on fault dispatches. Includes: Fault Location Analysis |
NMS Option: SCADA Interface | Functionality that supports bringing in SCADA data via a variety of standards-based adapter options, displaying SCADA Summary data and SCADA Alarms, and leveraging the data in support of DMS applications. Outbound SCADA controls are also supported. Includes: SCADA Extensions, SCADA Measurements adapter (scadapop), Generic SCADA Adapter, ICCP Adapter, MultiSpeak SCADA Adapter, OSI SCADA Adapter, SCADA Calculation Engine |
NMS Option: Flex SCADA | Full Distribution SCADA (D-SCADA) application functionality. Requires an additional Live Energy Connect (LEC) license for industrial protocol Front End Processor (FEP) and communications support. Includes: Display Editors, Device Commissioning, Measurement/State Validation, Limits Processing, Calculated Points, Alarms Processing, Sequence of Events, Trending, Logging |
NMS Option: Training Simulator | Functionality that allows a trainer to record scenarios including customer calls, AMI last gasps, and simulated device operations in support of training. Each scenario can be played back for a trainee, paused, modified, and monitored by the trainer. Includes: NMS Training Simulator |
NMS Option: Operations Mobile Application | Application for Android, iOS, and Windows devices that allows field personnel to be quickly registered, assigned work, update status, report blocked roads, enter damage assessment details, receive and respond to switching steps, and update basic NMS event information such as ERT, notes, and so forth. REST API also can be used to integrate a 3rd-party mobile solution to NMS. Includes: Operations Mobile Application template app, REST API |
NMS Option: Distribution Management Operational DERMS | Functionality that enables dispatch of DER through optimized plans (Network Optimization/Suggested Switching/FLISR). Enables Active Network Management Switching. Enables Network Capacity Allocation which manages Distributed Energy Resource markets. Includes: Active Network Management |
NMS Option: Network Management Flex NMS Client | An add-on to the Flex OMS Client that provides additional browser-based functionality such as switching management and some other NMS functions beyond the core OMS functions of the Flex OMS Client. Includes: Flex Operations additional NMS functions. Requires Network Management Flex OMS Client. |
NMS Option: Distribution Management Grid Edge DERMS | Functionality that allows users to control the dispatch of aggregator-managed DER at the Behind The Meter level through strategies and events.
