Advanced Distribution Management Systems Research and Development at the U.S.DOE

This panel will present updates on the U.S. DOE Advanced Distribution Management System Program. This program consists of five projects addressing different aspects of ADMS. The panel will include presentations by the leaders of each project with time for discussion of the collective set of projects and the DOE ADMS program. The projects include: Creation of an open platform for development of advanced distribution system planning and operations applications; an ADMS hardware testbed; demonstration of an advanced distribution system operations tool; creation of a framework for integrating information between EMS, DMS and BMS, and design of advanced control algorithms.
