System operators are facing declining capacity margins with an aging infrastructure, while having to accommodate increasing penetration of variable and distributed energy resources.. Smart Grid initiatives and OATI webReliability provide the needed infrastructure while also delivering more timely information regarding system conditions and configuration – to help overcome today’s tough transmission and distribution reliability challenges.
The OATI webReliability suite of modular applications uses the following capabilities to
manage large volumes of data and improve system reliability:
- Transmission outage scheduling
- Distribution congestion management
- Dynamic rating of distribution facilities and equipment
- Support for distribution outage management – including outage detection and restoration functions
- Distribution system configuration and switching function support
