Smart Distribution Management - ADMS, DERMS, Microgrids controls with case-studies and lessons learned

This course focuses on the modernization of the distribution grid through advanced monitoring, automation, and management systems. The course examines the architecture and operation of Distribution Automation (DA) schemes — including fault location, isolation, and service restoration (FLISR), feeder reconfiguration. Learners gain an integrated view of the Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS), which combines SCADA, DMS, and Outage Management System (OMS) functions into a unified platform for situational awareness, decision support, and optimization. There is a module to introduce the smart grid context, showing how communication networks and industry standards enable interoperability between utility systems and distributed assets.
