DMS Applications

(Fault Detection, Isolation and Service Restoration)

Operations and Outages Accounting
Operations and Outage Accounting application is based on the Event Data Recording facility. The event data recording facility records all status changes and control operations in an event data file capable of storing events for up to 30 days. Every night at midnight, an accounting program scans the previous day’s event data to generate that day’s accounting information. Requires Event Data Recording.


Operator Training Simulator
Operator Training Simulator (OTS) consists of a second independent copy of the SCADA system operating with simulation programs instead of scan tasks. The OTS system provides facilities that allow the instructor to maintain many different copies of the database and to select any of these to use for a training session.  The simulation process itself is a scripting facility that allows the instructor to generate sequences of events that students can react to.

Switch Order Preparation
Switch Order Preparation application allows the creating and execution of switch orders, as well the issuing and surrendering of clearances.  The application allows the complete management of order processing, including the printing of the order for field crews.  It includes grounding, tagging, and out-of-step execution.


System Configuration Status
System Configuration Status (SCS) application is a topology processor that calculates the energized/de-energized status of electric, gas and water line sections, and displays them on world maps. The calculation is based on the topology of the distribution system and the current status of breakers and valves.  For an electrical line section, the system supports 3-phase distribution, and computes the status of each phase independently, such that line sections that are downstream of non-ganged switching devices may contain a mix of energized and de-energized phases. The user can specify colors for “partially energized” or “partially looped” etc.  SCS includes a feeder trace function that allows the user to select a trace color and have the extent of a feeder highlighted in the selected trace color. Multiple simultaneous traces in different colors are supported.
