| | '''Advanced distribution protection''' and restoration systems are built from distributed control and communications technologies. They are designed to communicate over peer-to-peer networks or over high-speed fiber-optic networks, operating either autonomously or in concert with substation automation systems. Advanced distribution protection must also be able to integrate with distributed generation, storage technologies, and other distributed resources to reliably protect distribution assets. | | '''Advanced distribution protection''' and restoration systems are built from distributed control and communications technologies.

| − | The ADMS is a decision support system that helps control room and field operating personnel monitor and control the electric distribution system effectively while improving safety, reliability, asset protection, and quality of service. ADMS delivers a single environment and user experience. This enables the streamlining of decision-making and enhances emergency response performance. It resolves the critical barrier issues of real-time integration and enables the creation of high-performance network models. By providing a unified environment for control and dispatch, ADMS
| |
| − | also allows for a more comprehensive view of the distribution system during an outage. The ADMS is a utility dependent on technology which is why it should be interconnected with the existing Energy Management or Network Management System and OMS. Data sharing between these systems maximize the efficiency of operation within your control room or control centers.

| − | The ADMS includes monitoring, analysis, control, optimization, training, and planning tools that all function on a common representation of the entire electric distribution network. This allows system operators, dispatchers, reliability analysts, planning engineers, and managers to work as a team accessing the same as-operated representation of network information for efficient and reliable management of grid operations. With the ADMS there is the possibility to visualize the current state of the network based on SCADA telemetry combined with state estimation for all non-telemetered equipment to provide systems operators with greater network awareness.

| |
| − | The ADMS test bed is a national, vendor-neutral effort funded by the Department of Energy Office of Electricity’s Advanced Grid Research Program to accelerate industry development and the adoption of ADMS capabilities. The test bed enables utility partners, vendors, and researchers to evaluate existing and future ADMS, distributed energy resource management systems (DERMS), and other utility management system applications in a realistic laboratory environment.

| |
| − | The ADMS test bed is an evaluation platform that consists of software simulations of large-scale distributed systems and field equipment integrated through hardware-in-the-loop techniques that realistically represent a power distribution system to a commercial or precommercial ADMS. The ADMS is interfaced with the test bed using industry-standard communication protocols so it can be deployed as it would be in a utility environment. The test bed can integrate distribution system hardware in the Energy Systems Integration Facility for hardware-in-the-loop experiments and makes use of the facility’s advanced visualization capabilities, including 3D visualization. The test bed can also integrate simulations of end-use loads in buildings as well as home energy management system controllers with the distribution system simulation using the Hierarchical Engine for Large-scale Infrastructure Co-Simulation (HELICS), an open-source, cyber-physical-energy co-simulation framework for electric power systems.
