Advanced Intelligent Power and Communication Network Management System

GDi Ensemble OperOSS is an advanced suite of software applications for the management of new generation smart grids. It provides a comprehensive, technology-neutral solution that integrates all power distribution systems under a single control and management interface.

The application suite provides high system data accuracy, that allows for a full representation of the real state of an energy network at any time.

Furthermore, by enabling a large degree of digitization and network management automation, using Ensemble OperOSS results in the redirection of human work from basic operational processes and tasks to advanced processes such as further planning and development of the smart grid network.

Management and control of energy assets in the smart grid

Ensemble OperOSS Operational Support System for the the smart management and control of energy assets using advanced Information and Communications Technology (ICT) infrastructure.

Represents a major advancement by enabling the transition from today's passive distribution systems to future flexible low-carbon, smart systems.

Provides numerous services to users and system operators with emphasis on the Distribution Network Operator, as being at the core of energy transition and the development of advanced energy networks.

Helping electric utilities to transform

Ensemble OperOSS can help electric utilities make the required changes in key areas such as:

✓	Improvement of infrastructure.
✓	Addition of the Smart Grid digital layer.
	– Tools such as Ensemble OperOSS will become the essence of the smart grid.
✓	Business process transformation.
	– Increased focus on a customer engagement strategy to retain and attract customers who decide to produce their own energy through microgrids.
	– The generation of renewable energy will now often be connected at the distribution level. This brings new opportunities for DNO’s to expand their market by selling energy directly to the consumer.

What is a Smart Grid?

EU Commission Task Force Smart Grid definition:

A Smart Grid is an electricity network that can cost efficiently integrate the behaviour and actions of all users connected to it – generators, consumers and those that do both – to ensure an economically efficient, sustainable power system with low losses and high levels of quality and security of supply and safety.

It employs innovative products and services together with intelligent monitoring, control, communication, and self-healing technologies to:

Better facilitate the connection and operation of generators of all sizes and technologies.
Allow consumers to play a part in optimising the operation of the system.
Provide consumers with greater information and options for how they use their supply.
Significantly reduce the environmental impact of the whole electricity supply system.
Maintain or even improve the existing high levels of system reliability, quality and security of supply.
Maintain and improve the existing services efficiently.
