Abstract

The modern electric grid now needs advanced solutions added variability in the form of renewable energy sources, distributed energy resources, and the increasing demand for reliable energy. Increased efficiency at the grid level became necessary to provide reliability, reduce the chances of outages, and improve the performance of a distribution network. One of the promising ways of achieving these challenges is through the integration of Advanced Distribution Management Systems. It utilized real-time, predictive analytics, and automation to optimize grid operations coupled with improved decision-making process. The paper has taken an all-inclusive study of the integration of ADMS into improving grid efficiency through better load management, outage management, and control of voltage. In depth case studies, besides exhaustive details on the simulations done, are actually reviewed to study the impacts of ADMS on the principal performance indicators of energy losses, restoration times, and flexibility of the grid. The results shall quite visibly reflect an economical efficiency gain, which will then result in a significant argument for thorough use of ADMS in modern grids. Integration of ADMS to the utility could be one step toward the smart, adaptive, and resilient grid.
