An ADMS is the decision support environment that provides a shared network model (a digital twin of an electric distribution network) and a common user experience for all roles that are needed to monitor, control and orchestrate assets across the grid while optimizing and securing operations of the grid. The ADMS assists electricity distribution system operators to proactively and safely guide outage restoration activities, manage and optimize networks for improved asset utilization, and effectively manage the integration and impact of distributed energy resources (DERs). ADMS functions include: Distribution state estimation (DSE) Fault location, isolation and restoration (FLISR) Volt/volt-ampere reactive optimization (VVO) Outage management Conservation through voltage reduction (CVR) Peak-demand management Integration of distributed energy resources
Data center infrastructure management (DCIM) tools monitor, measure, manage and/or control data center resources and energy consumption of both IT-related equipment (such as servers, storage and network switches) and facilities infrastructure components (such as power distribution units and computer room air conditioners). They are data-center-specific (they are designed for data center use), rather than general building management system tools, and are used to optimize data center power, cooling and physical space. Solutions do not have to be sensor-based, but they do have to be designed to accommodate real-time power and temperature/environmental monitoring. They must also support resource management, which Gartner defines as going beyond typical IT asset management to include the location and interrelationships between assets.
