ABB Network Manager vs Axxiom G-DIS 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.

G-DIS – Distribution Management – is a software solution design to automatize operational processes of electric power distribution companies and other utilities. It comprises commercial service and emergency features, in addition to support operation, maintenance and order of services.

G-DIS complies with standard IEC 61968 of the International Electrotechnical Commission, which is aimed at facilitating the integration of distribution software for managing distribution networks in the electric power industry, helping utilities that need to connect several applications.

The architecture used in the construction of the solution is robust, and can be used in high-performance and high-availability settings. Another feature is the scalability in providing services to small, medium and large utilities.

The system provides enhanced management of all processes such as inclusion, change, extension, review, rectification, withdrawal, cessation, and queries regarding Distribution Management and operational services, including online and offline team dispatch modules.

G-DIS has features that use mobile communication with smartphones, PDAs, whereas communication is established through GPRS, satellite, or radio signal.
