What is ADMS?

ADMS stands for Advanced Distribution Management System. It is a software platform used by electric utilities to manage and optimize the operation of their distribution networks. ADMS typically integrates various functionalities such as outage management, distribution SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), Volt/VAR control, and distribution planning tools to improve grid reliability, efficiency, and resilience. It helps utilities monitor and control the flow of electricity, respond to outages, optimize voltage levels, and plan for future grid upgrades. ADMS leverages real-time data from the grid and advanced analytics to provide operators with better situational awareness and decision support.
