What is a Distribution Management System?
Traditional SCADA functionality
with on-line data integrated with:
Distribution Network Information
Network Database with network
modeling down to MV/LV substation
level (or even to low voltage network)
Background maps
Applications using the modeled
network
fault location, outage reporting, trace,
locate functions, etc.

Minimum damages caused by wrong
operations (checking actions
automatically and in simulations)
Improved overview and manageability of
the whole network
Efficient use of resources
Optimised distribution network
New innovations from ABB can make the

With a proper outage management
you can reduce fault outages from
hours to even less than a minute!
Fault location tells the operator
instantaneously the location of the
fault
Restoration support provides the
operator with a list of operations to
be executed for a minimized outage
area
Remote control gives the opportunity
to isolate the fault and restore the
network from the control centre
Shorter outages make more revenue
Shorter outages

DMS vs. Traditional
Operation planning using experience
and intuition
Operations planned and simulated in
advance with efficient tools
Limited information available in fault
situations
=> Laborious fault management
=> Long outage times
Fault located immediately after the fault
happens
Only off-line calculations available
=> possible violation of technical constraints
=> overrated network
Electrical parameters of the network
calculated automatically
Open point data management with pins
on the wall
Open point management with a click of a
mouse and dynamic colouring
Traditional DMS
