Overview

Product Information on OSI Spectra ADMS

Updated 13th October 2025

What is OSI Spectra ADMS?

OSI Spectra ADMS is a software designed to support electric utility operations by integrating advanced distribution management functionalities. The software offers tools for network monitoring, outage management, fault location, isolation and service restoration, and real-time situational awareness. It enables electric utilities to manage and optimize distribution grid performance while ensuring grid reliability and efficiency. Spectra ADMS provides operators with visualization, analytics, and decision support to monitor grid conditions, coordinate distributed energy resources, and respond to system disturbances. The software aims to solve operational challenges related to grid complexity, decentralized energy resources, and increasing demands for service reliability.

OSI Spectra ADMS Pricing

OSI Spectra ADMS software uses a customized pricing model that typically involves license fees based on the scale of deployment and required modules. Pricing may consider factors such as the number of substations, control centers, users, and specific functionalities needed. Support and maintenance fees are usually charged separately on an annual basis. Cloud-hosted and on-premises options may be available with variable cost structures.

“Spectra OMS, a development partnership bewtween OSI and Powerco”

4.0
Nov 22, 2016
We have been using OSI Monarch SCADA sincw 2008 and are very satisfied with the product. Spectra OMS was built in a development partnership between OSI and Powerco. The Spectra system was put in to production before full development was completed. This was driven by a Powerco business requirement. Some functionality was left out of the product to manage delivery timelines. OSI gave a high level of support during the project to manage a number of bug fixes and issues. I don't believe it is fair to make judgements on implemetation as "go-live" dates were driven by Powerco to start using a somewhat immature product and the system has become more mature and stable over the last two years.

Like

Emap, which is the geographical representation of the network model. This gives a great overall picture of what is happening across th electricity networks. Acuracy for reporting, real time data, improving the service provided to customers, tracking detailed outage information and supporting our commercial agreements between the Company and our service providers are real benefits of this product.

Like

1. Integration with our EMS into one Common Operational Space. 2. The look and feel of the software is easy and an operator shouldn't need too much training just to operate. Open Street maps add a good visual for the land base 3. The Maestro/Virtuouso product to manage the data import and conflict makes it easy and visble to maintain the accuracy of the data. The ability to conduct a study before an operation and observe the violations visually and in a report is good for

    The new systems is working well. We have not gained all of the functionality we expect to utilitize at this time, but that is duee ot internal resource limitatations and not the vendor.
