The project, currently in the implementation phase is designed to enhance Nova Scotia’s operational efficiencies and outage management response and restoration, while helping the company to address the challenges of increasing consumer demands for sustainable, reliable energy.
Leveraging the Nova Scotia’s current investment in Schneider’s GIS technology, the new solution offers efficient network data and model management, as well as seamless, embedded OMS and DMS technologies.
Utilizing integrated voice response, work order management and crew dispatch capabilities, Nova Scotia will be able to efficiently monitor, analyze, and manage its network of nearly 500,000 customers for more rapid response to power outages.
Schneider Electric End User Business executive vice president Laurent Vernerey said, "This project represents a new trend in the smart grid industry, the integration of OMS as a seamless application of smart grid solutions to improve operational efficiencies and safety.”
Currently deployed in over 26 countries, the ADMS serves more than 88 million utility customers.
The Nova Scotia Power project is anticipated to be fully operational in late 2014.
