ABB Network Manager vs ACS PRISM ADMS comparison

EMS is the optimal control center solution to enable secure, efficient and optimized operation of the electric power system. EMS has an open platform that allows for easy integration with other utility information systems, while maintaining high levels of security. It is the market leading platform for building control center solutions to manage today’s power grids as well as tomorrow’s smart grids. Its modular architecture can be tailored to the needs of each company to provide a smooth migration path for future expansion.

The applications are built on an open platform, and can be tuned for real-time control and analysis as well as predictive optimization and planning purposes. These powerful network operation tools facilitate safe and efficient day-to-day operation while minimizing long term capital expenditures.

Each EMS function is implemented as a separate software package and interfaced with the system through a real-time database. This makes it easy to tailor the system to the user requirements, to define execution sequences and cycles individually, and to add new software modules from ABB or third-party suppliers as your system evolves.

As information exchange and coordination between TSOs and other market participants becomes more important, Network Manager is continuously updated to support international and local standards for power system operation and data-exchange. This is done by working closely together with customers worldwide and actively participating in the development of the international standards.

Minsait ACS offers one of the most advanced and integrated suite of applications available today for distribution network management. Our PRISM advanced DMS, which is based on more than 40 years of experience delivering “mission critical” real-time systems with an open architecture design, features maximum reliability and availability, and offers several key advantages over competing solutions:

-A fully-integrated single database and network model, using the GIS and available planning
data as the source
-A full suite of advanced applications for visualization, optimization, analysis and operation
-A completely integrated OMS suite that eliminates the need for costly and complex
interfaces for data transfer between different SCADA/DMS/OMS platforms
-A unified and comprehensive user interface, providing safer and more efficient system
control
-A high-performance real-time engine for all Smart Grid functions, designed to deliver when
you need it most
-A sophisticated simulator platform that enables training of operators and other personnel -
based on realistic operational scenarios and actual events captured from the operating
system
