Grid digital twins guide: A value-driven grid data management
EcoStruxure Grid: A value-driven grid data management
Overcoming data-related challenges is a major opportunity for grid operators. Effective grid data management practices and solutions can help distribution utilities uncover a broad range of values. This comprehensive reference guide explains how. Drawing from expertise across many disciplines, its collection of specific use cases shows how electric distribution utilities can apply a foundational, stepwise, and practical approach to grid data management.
What does this reference guide cover?
Understand the existing technical standards applicable to smart grids, including the most relevant distribution utility data management standards for your location.See how the Common Information Model (CIM) has proven its value as an interface between information silo, and how standards are evolving in various distribution utility areas, including smart metering, DER, home automation, and grid edge.
