Efacec ACS will supply an integrated real-time distribution and outage management system (DMS/OMS) and establish standards-based advanced automation solutions for the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA). The primary objectives of this effort are to replace enhanced features of LIPA’s legacy OMS with a modern interoperable platform that also provides an electronic operating model for the foundation of advanced DMS applications. Elements of the project, which will deploy in five phases over the next year, include:
The Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) will be deployed through a central Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) that supports the LIPA business model throughout the organization. The PRISM DMS/OMS and third–party applications will support the ESB using existing industry standards, such as IEC 61970/ 61968. Efacec ACS will also provide a Network Model Management (NMM) subsystem which will manage past, present, and future versions of the transmission and distribution integrated network model. LIPA corporate users and other applications will have the ability to subscribe to the Common Information Model (CIM)/XML-compliant model. The LIPA Smart Grid DMS/OMS project is a partnership between Efacec ACS and LIPA, and will be executed through LIPA’s designated service provider, National Grid, in concert with LIPA’s consultants for standards-based data modeling and SOA development. Each project phase will follow LIPA SDLC process standards for implementation, reviews and approvals. LIPA is a non-profit municipal electric provider, and owns the retail electric Transmission and Distribution System on Long Island. LIPA provides electric service to more than 1.1 million customers and is the 2nd largest municipal electric utility in the nation in terms of electric revenues, 3rd largest in terms of customers served and the 7th largest in terms of electricity delivered. |
