The Advanced Distribution Management System – ADMS – brings together distribution management system (DMS), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and outage management system (OMS) technologies , along with control room applications, on one, secure platform with a single user interface. With this comprehensive mission critical solution, the electric utility can monitor, analyze and control the distribution network to improve the level and quality of service.
At its core is the network model representing the as-operated state and based on the as-built state defined by the geographic information system (GIS). A load flow algorithm responds quickly to data sourced from throughout the network to analyze the balanced, unbalanced and dynamically changing network in real time. Users across the network – operators, dispatchers, management, planning engineers and others – have consistent visualization of model results in geographic, schematic and single-line diagram views. State estimation validates viewed data and estimates non-telemetered points to achieve a complete network representation.
With this accurate network model and a portfolio of robust functionalities, the utility is empowered with continuous, real-time analysis of the operational state of the network that enables self-healing capabilities. Demand can be managed through reduction of technical losses; by forecasting near-term load and applying volt/VAR control for peak shaving; and by securely integrating and managing distributed energy resources, including energy storage, to flatten the daily load curve. These and other options enabled by ADMS are key to managing demand in the face of increasing energy usage, surging energy costs and network infrastructure instability due to aging.
The ADMS represents the evolution of control room technology that will help utilities mobilize to meet increasing consumer demand and environmental obligations and reap many of the benefits all stakeholders expect from their smart grid investments.
It is a time of radical changes in the utility world. A time of disrupt, or be disrupted. In this talk I go through some evolutionary, and several revolutionary business opportunities that utilities have to help stem their falling revenues from generation.

Silicon Anode Battery Market Growth, Trends, Absolute Opportunity and Value C...Monica Nerkar
In order to meet the rising energy requirements and to overcome rapidly depleting fossil resources, rechargeable batteries has evolved as one of the efficient means of energy storage. The ongoing technological advancement in power electronics and automotive has brought lithium ion batteries into the frame as an advanced storage systems with high capabilities. The silicon anode batteries are lithium ion batteries with silicon anode. The traditional anode material in lithium ion batteries i.e. graphite doesn’t meets the high energy demand of advanced electric automotive due to its limited theoretical capacity, whereas, silicon stores ten times more lithium than the graphite anode resulting in increased energy density which enables fast charging and high current delivery. Thus silicon anode battery is emerging as a substitute for graphite anode battery. Due to its low discharge potential and extreme charge capacity, silicon anode could provide faster charging, greater current delivery and smaller battery size. However, large volume change during electrochemical process remains the major challenge in wide commercialization of silicon anode battery. Silicon anode battery is expected to emerge as next generation of lithium ion batteries. The silicon anode battery market is still between introduction and growth phase, when plotted on product life cycle. Huge investments by market leaders are being made to further develop silicon anode battery technology and bring it on practical grounds and thus market is expected to hold significant growth potential.

Briefing: Understanding and De-Risking EV Charging Power DeliveryBlack & Veatch
Substantial technology advances in power electronics, battery price/performance, efficiency and significantly lower maintenance cost are driving Transportation Electrification forward. While personal vehicle choices are influenced by many factors, fleet managers focus on total cost of ownership considering both the capital and operational impact of aggregated charging facilities. As transit, freight, logistics, taxi, ride share and a growing list of high vehicle utilization applications reach technical viability and exceed cost parity with conventional fuels, fleet operators must understand infrastructure requirements of Electrification and associated project risks. Historically fleet facilities have not had to accommodate the large loads that are needed to support fleets of electrified vehicles. Differences in location, scale, charging equipment and charging behaviors can have profound impact on capital and operational costs. This briefing describes various scenarios for electrical supply required to support fleet facilities and notes the likely development durations for power delivery.

More Affordable, Reliable and Recoverable Nutrient RemovalBlack & Veatch
Recurring harmful algal blooms in Lake Erie and other water bodies keep nutrients at the forefront of water quality priorities in the Great Lakes, Upper Mississippi River and elsewhere in the Midwest. Recent regulatory strategies have focused on nonpoint source controls and more stringent point source limits. In response, more treatment utilities will likely consider biological nutrient removal (BNR) technologies along with other alternatives. Since the invention of the Phoredox and Bardenpho processes in South Africa in the early 1970s, understanding of underlying BNR mechanisms has grown significantly, especially for enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR).
This webinar will look at recent developments that have further improved the reliability and cost-effectiveness of EBPR for cold and wet conditions encountered in the Midwest and Great Lakes. Case studies will be discussed demonstrating innovative design features that can turn unintended BNR consequences into positive results, including:
Side-stream EBPR (S2EBPR) – moves anaerobic zones out of the main liquid stream. This configuration is much more reliable and efficient than conventional mainstream anaerobic zones, making EBPR viable in more cases than previously thought possible.
Struvite recovery processes – minimizes nuisance scaling in digestion and dewatering, reduces nutrient return loads to the main liquid stream, improves biosolids dewaterability, and produces a high-quality, eco-friendly fertilizer product.
Step-feed anoxic zones – are a lower-energy denitrification alternative to the traditional Modified Ludzack-Ettinger (MLE) approach to offset nitrification oxygen and alkalinity demands and avoid clarifier sludge blanket flotation.
Wet-weather step-feed and biomass transfer – manage peak flows and protect biomass from washout. Auxiliary enhanced high-rate treatment (EHRT) facilities offer even greater resiliency and excellent phosphorus removal.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
