Helen Electricity Network Ltd ('Helen') will start acquisition for replacing its current electricity distribution management system (DMS) and Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems with a modern Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS). Ref: U.S. Department of Energy: ADMS is “a software platform capable of integrating current and emerging distribution utility data, measurement, and control applications, and utilizing real-time, spatial data of all connected devices, to manage and optimize distribution utility operations for improved reliability, resilience, efficiency, asset protection, and integration of distributed energy resources (DERs).”
