Intelligent Grid
The Intelligent Grid demonstration is an integrated solution that incorporates, smart devices, communications infrastructure and distribution operations software to simulate real life scenarios. For example, the system has the ability to isolate faults automatically, validate customers without power before they call in and also validate that all customers are back on after restoration. The demonstration will be on going during exhibit hours and GE personnel will be available to walk you through the various scenarios and supporting technologies.

Distribution Operations
GE's ENMAC™ Distribution Management System (DMS) enables network operators to manage real-time operation of the distribution network, in an integrated teamwork approach that has proved to deliver 25% improvements in network performance, while at the same time reducing operating costs by 40%.

ENMAC consists of integrated functional modules, which all share a single model of the complete network as one intelligent connected system. ENMAC keeps track of telemetered (SCADA), manual switching and delegated crew switching actions on current planned and unplanned work as well as managing the future work requests.

GE's PowerOn™ OMS enables distribution dispatchers to manage all aspect of managing the restoration process from the initial crew assignment through complex restoration scenarios in a centralized or de-centralized environment. PowerOn OMS has proven to reduce overall storm response time ranging from 10%-25% by providing the tools necessary to streamline and expand dispatching capabilities throughout the operating regions of a utility.

PowerOn consists of a geospatial-based network model that maintains the operational state of the network and includes a comprehensive set of tools to manage customer communications, outage dispatching and reporting

Intelligent Grid OMS/DMS Solutions
ENMAC DMS and PowerOn OMS support utility efforts in the incremental deployment of an Intelligent Grid. ENMAC DMS provides real-time network analysis, distribution automation, auto-restoration and optimization software that allow utilities to proactively operate complex networks. PowerOn OMS provides trouble call management and comprehensive OMS workflow support including full integration with automated metering infrastructures to validate outage notifications and verify restoration steps. Together the products provide a comprehensive and integrated approach to managing networks and outages during routine and high-volume periods.

GE is currently enhancing the DMS and OMS product lines to provide additional tools to leverage the strengths of the current ENMAC DMS and PowerOn OMS products. These tools are designed to integrate with other Intelligent Grid technologies to provide proactive and real-time analysis tools that will change the way utilities manage customers, networks and outages. The exhibition booth will include sample scenarios reflecting the benefits of DMS/OMS integration within an Intelligent Grid.

Advanced Distribution Infrastructure (ADI)
ADI is an innovative idea from GE to bring “smart” devices technology to the next level, offering unprecedented flexibility for greater business execution. GE’s ADI solution leverages the intelligence of the meter as a sensor along with other smart devices — collecting and continuously measuring a wide range of data to better manage distribution operations and leveraging a common communications infrastructure. It is also platform independent of back office utility applications.

Advanced Metering
GE's newest line of solid-state electricity metering products will be featured: the I-210+ and I-210+c single-phase residential meters. This product line was influenced through customer feedback. The I-210+ is a basic energy meter that provides high quality, solid-state measurement performance, affordability, accuracy and reliability. The I-210+c is an advanced meter, offering features beyond basic energy, such as demand, time of use, and load profile recording. It is GE’s most robust and flexible meter, designed to offer utilities the ability to customize features to suit their specific needs. Both the I-210+ and the I-210+c, with the addition of a softswitch, are compatible with a suite of third-party AMR/AMI solutions and also come with the option of an integrated, factory-installed remote disconnect switch to help utilities efficiently address issues such as non-payments, move-in, move-outs, and demand side management.

Substation Management
GE's integrated substation solutions empower utilities to automate their substation assets through control, protection, management and monitoring solutions while providing a secure perimeter for remote enterprise access to both operational and non-operational information.

The D400 integrates many desirable features onto a high performance, low-cost embedded platform. The D400 will be featured in the Intelligent Grid demonstration.

Monitoring and Diagnostic Products and Services
GE's transformer monitoring and diagnostics products use state-of-the-art technology that helps customers reduce their costs by ensuring maximum performance and long-term reliability. The Hydran™ and Intellix™ product lines are early warning devices that alert utilities of hidden problems that could trigger equipment failures and unscheduled outages.

These innovative intelligent systems monitor in real-time dissolved combustible gasses that are caused by stresses and faults in the electrical apparatus, and monitor vital transformer parameters using advanced computation models.

Asset Management
GE's Smallworld Electric Office™ product suite allows for the end-to-end support of key business processes in engineering, maintenance, field force automation™, and mobile applications.

The Smallworld Electric Office product manages the complete workflow from design layout, cost estimation, approval process, construction prints, and ultimately as-built data updates and job closure. It provides a unique capability to create user-friendly tools that automate the design layout and automatically manage the work point/span model that collects compatible units and costs at each work location. Standards-based integration to work management systems is a key aspect of the product, which includes a rich compatible unit model and workflow modeling to work seamlessly with leading systems. Furthermore, the Electric Office includes a sophisticated drawing environment that captures all the detail necessary for construction crews to accurately build the network facilities as-designed.

Once the network is in service, Smallworld Electric Office provides all the tools necessary to manage ongoing changes to the network. Map maintenance is facilitated through asset editing tools that allow add, update, delete, and move operations. They also offer audit history, network tracing, QA/QC checks, and the ability to resolve conflicts and publish data to the operational database. Predefined and ad hoc queries and reports help users monitor the network assets.

As part of the focus to lower the cost of ownership for geospatial tools, Smallworld Electric Office provides a rich set of administrative tools to configure the product to customer requirements without having to customize the product. Project types, statemodels, coordinate systems,map units, compatible unit libraries, condition factors, symbology, printers queues, drawing tools, templates, and user groups are examples of the tools available to the administrator for customizing the product to specific utility business processes.

Our Smallworld geospatial technology provides scalable, extensible and open solutions that integrate with your existing systems to leverage spatial data in new ways: throughout the enterprise and onto the Internet. Key integration includes back-end synchronization of asset data between GE's and SAP's® application, and the front-end navigation between both applications for a seamless IT support for critical business processes.
