Distribution Management Systems

 Distribution Management System (DMS) consists of a set of tools to help distribution operators monitor, control and, during outage conditions speed the restoration of the distribution system. DMS software applications enable electric utilities to remotely monitor, coordinate and operate distribution components in real-time. Survalent’s DMS solution leverages multiple applications to collect data and analyze information to make control decisions, implement the control decisions, and verify that the desired result has been achieved. 

 Survalent’s DMS software applications are seamlessly integrated and scalable with Survalent’s SCADA system.  This provides the user with a consistent and friendly user interface to the DMS applications, and makes the applications accessible from any dispatcher or engineering workstation within the enterprise.  DMS application solutions improve day-to-day operations and maintenance of the distribution network:

• Increase reliability

   

• Reduce losses

   

• Improve cash flow

   

• Lower restoration time

   

• Reduce equipment damage

   

• Improve operational planning
