Towards a successful implementation of advanced distribution management systems (ADMS) for grid modernisation

This paper presents a comprehensive guide based on DNV NextGen GridOps framework in implementing an Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) as part of utilities’ grid modernisation initiative. By aligning project objectives with the organisation’s strategic vision, utilities can unlock the full potential of ADMS capabilities and drive a smarter, more resilient energy future. This guide emphasises critical aspects such as architecture, data management, integration, technical considerations, and fostering cross-functional teams. Utilities can leverage this guide to embark on their ADMS journey, to achieve fast and successful implementation.
