The new solution is the combination of S&C’s IntelliTeam SG Automatic Restoration System and Alstom Grid’s e-terradistribution Integrated Distribution Management System (IDMS).
The integrated solution combines real-time response to system conditions using S&C’s distributed intelligence technology with regional area control from Alstom’s enterprise-level applications.
It enables control room operators to access complete field data from S&C’s IntelliTeam SG through Alstom’s IDMS.
Alstom Grid Network Management Solutions vice president Karim El Naggar said smart grid technologies can capture a wealth of data from the grid, but utilities face a challenge in making access to this data practical.
S&C Strategic Solutions vice president Mike Edmonds said layered intelligence solutions offer the optimal approach for smart grids by combining rapid, real-time response to system conditions with enterprise-level applications that support system planning, operation, and optimization.
"The integrated system from S&C and Alstom Grid marks another step toward realizing a smarter distribution grid through layered intelligence," Edmonds said.
