Telvent’s advanced distribution management system (ADMS) will be implemented by PECO to monitor and control its electric network using one integrated system.
The ADMS enables the utility to have access to real-time information to control load management, fault analysis and network optimization.
PECO will also leverage Telvent’s OASyS Dynamic Network of Applications (DNA) supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system to immediately pinpoint potential trouble spots within the network, increasing customer satisfaction by addressing issues, such as service outages, more quickly and efficiently.
PECO, a Pennsylvania-based electric and gas distribution company, started the smart grid project in May 2011 and is expected to be completed in 2013.
PECO said it also employs Telvent’s OASyS DNA SCADA solution to optimize operational efficiencies and cut costs for its gas distribution network.
