Subsystems

Supporting systems that enable the functions of Energy Resources and Market & Systems Operations in conventional, transforming and future power systems.

Advanced Distribution Management Systems (ADMS)

Software platforms that integrate numerous operational systems, provide automated outage restoration, and optimise the performance of the Distribution Network. ADMS components and functions can include

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)

The full measurement and collection system that includes meters at Customer sites, communication networks between the Customer and a Utility, and data reception and management

Application

A software program, or a set of software tools, designed to perform specific tasks or functions for end-users or adjacent Systems or Subsystems.

Distribution Management System (DMS)

An operational system capable of collecting, organising, displaying, and analysing real-time or near real-time Distribution Network information. A DMS can also allow network operators to

Dynamic Operating Envelope (DOE)

Distinct from Static Operating Envelopes, DOE’s provide Dynamic Export Management from DER/CER to the Power System, based on the operating characteristics of the Distribution Network

Emergency DPV Curtailment

The ability to curtail the output of Distributed Photovoltaic (DPV) generation if required for System Security and Reliability of the Bulk Power System and in

Emergency Frequency Control Scheme

Facilities for initiating automatic shedding of Load and/or Generation Plant output to prevent or arrest uncontrolled variations in Frequency, which would otherwise lead to Cascading

Energy Management System (EMS)

A system to monitor, control, and optimize the performance of the transmission system and in some cases primary distribution substations. The EMS is the transmission

Fast Frequency Response (FFR)

A very rapid response to re-balance megawatts on the Power System. May be automatic in response to Frequency, or a centrally controlled response (that is,
