More and more, as utilities face decreasing margin between system load and system capacity, they are in need of innovative smart grid solutions that can help them effectively disperse and store energy and manage load to meet resource requirements. Many are incorporating Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) to help fill the gap while, at the same time, meet requirements for reduced emissions and energy independence; these utilities will require the capability to accurately forecast and control DER contribution to the network, to assure security and grid reliability.
Advanced smart grid software designed to support DER management and optimize grid operations and planning works with a real-time network model, based on an accurate geodatabase and incorporating data from operational systems such as a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system and outage management system (OMS). Along with real-time visualization and monitoring of network status, this Advanced Distribution Management System – ADMS – provides a host of analytical tools that recommend the most optimal device operations, or optionally automate device operations, to maximize network efficiency and reliability. For example, the utility can apply Volt/VAR control to reduce feeder voltage automatically with no effect on the consumer. Detailed load profiling and load forecasting based on integrated weather feeds yield network load forecasting for effective renewables integration. Network simulation helps forecast medium-term and long-term load and supports effective development and planning.
ADMS functionality and tools are demonstrating that utilities can effectively manage demand without building large-scale generation.
The Schneider Electric underground self-healing solution can restore power to healthy areas of a distribution network in under 30 seconds. Our self-healing innovation improves re-energisation time and availability by independently isolating faults and swiftly restoring service to those areas of the grid directly unaffected.

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.

Slide deck of the webinar presented by John Dirkman on Oct. 23, 2013.
The presence of highly variable renewables and distributed energy resources is rapidly increasing within distribution systems, resulting in the potential for problems like reverse power flow, impact on voltage profile, and more complex protection schemes.
During this webinar, John Dirkman, Senior Director of Smart Grid Strategy & Development at Schneider Electric, explored how an Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS), combined with an accurate weather forecasting system, can be used to resolve problems and increase benefits of both renewables and distributed energy resources.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Learn how renewables and distributed energy resources can impact an electric distribution system.
- Discover ways to manage and optimize renewables and distributed energy resources using ADMS.
- Integration of an accurate weather forecasting system with ADMS maximizes benefits from renewables.
- Distributed energy resources and demand response are components of microgrids, also managed by ADMS.
Data center power and cooling infrastructure worldwide wastes more than 60,000,000 megawatt-hours per year of electricity that does no useful work powering IT equipment. This represents an enormous financial burden on industry, and is a significant public policy environmental issue. This paper describes the principles of a new, commercially available data center
architecture that can be implemented today to dramatically improve the electrical efficiency of data centers.
Stimulus grants awarded under the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) encourage the development of broadband networks that create jobs; spur investments in technology and infrastructure; and deliver long-term economic benefits. These projects are under tight timeframes to put stimulus money to use immediately; and often the pressure of designing, building and reporting progress makes comprehensive network data management a lesser project priority.
However, data accessibility by network operators and subscribing providers is vital to efficient network completion and maintenance and successful business development. Maine Fiber Company, Inc., realized this when it began constructing a 1,100-mile, high capacity fiber optic network to extend middle-mile connectivity across the state of Maine. Using its Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) federal stimulus grant and private investments, it began building this network from scratch, tracking the network with legacy data formats such as internet maps, CAD and paper files to model cable routes. It soon realized the need for network information management technology that would support cost-efficient construction and maintenance of its expansive and dispersed network area.
The company found that centralizing asset and network data as a single geodatabase, using ArcFM™ Fiber Manager, streamlines network data availability across the enterprise. This solution eliminates the time and costs of maintaining multiple databases and provides the segment length and cost accuracy critical to its business model. Flexibility enables the solution to grow with the company, and cross-departmental data sharing supports efficient circuit planning, analysis and reporting. This advanced enterprise GIS technology supports decision making across the organization that not only streamlines the broadband business startup but also makes long-term management efficient and accurate.

This paper explains how to quantify the electricity savings and provides examples of methods that can greatly reduce electrical power consumption.
A framework for converting hotel guestroom energy management into ROISchneider Electric
Hotel guests and staff are not directly accountable for a hotel’s overall utility bill. As a result, room occupants have little incentive to adopt energy-efficient habits. Yet, guest room energy consumption accounts for between 40 and 80% of energy use within the hospitality industry. In addition, industry data shows that guests remain outside of their rooms for several hours a day, on average. This paper analyzes room energy management approaches that accommodate both guest comfort and efficiency.
Virtualization and Cloud Computing: Optimized Power, Cooling, and Management ...Schneider Electric
IT virtualization, the engine behind cloud computing, can have significant consequences on the data center physical infrastructure (DCPI). Higher power densities that often result can challenge the cooling capabilities of an existing system. Reduced overall energy consumption that typically results from physical server consolidation may actually worsen the data center’s power usage effectiveness (PUE). Dynamic loads that vary in time and location may heighten the risk of downtime if rack-level power and cooling health are not understood and considered. Finally, the fault-tolerant nature of a highly virtualized environment could raise questions about the level of redundancy required in the physical infrastructure. These particular effects of virtualization are discussed and possible solutions or methods for dealing with them are offered.

From the perspective of Bangladesh we have known that the Sneaker cleaner, snicker cleaners or the converse cleaners are not available from other company, Chemtrek is the first as a company that is introducing the snicker cleaner for our target market. That’s why we are not going to face any kind of direct competition from the market. But we have some indirect competitors in the market regarding snicker cleaning. In our country we have detergent or soup for cleaning these items. So indirectly we have to handle those competitors and establish a new product for snickers cleaning. So we are now trying to get a competitive path for our product to be established. We have known previously that there is no any direct competition for this particular product that is snicker cleaner, so we have the opportunity to take a significant place for our product. If we can synchronize our all of the proposed IMC plan, then. When we are saying about the snicker or converse then it is saying itself about its target market. Now a day’s snickers or converse are used by the young generation. Mainly we have targeted the students of the colleges and universities as our target customers.
In this plan we will try to cover all the communication tools for marketing or promoting the particular product “Kelly’s Sneaker Cleaner”.

Design and Development of GIS Based Utility Management System at DOS Housing ...IJERA Editor
The paper presents the conceptual design model of a GIS [Geographic Information system] based Utility Management System for DOS Housing Colony, Vikramnagar, Ahmedabad. The processing capabilities of GIS and the system ability to manipulate geo-referenced data and results in different formats and models make them suitable for planning and operation of all activities of the Construction & Maintenance Group of SAC, Ahmedabad. This is specially designed software for the Civil, Electrical and Horticultural wing of Construction and Maintenance Group, Space Applications Centre (ISRO) in many ways to improve the Planning, Maintenance and Information standards. In this software, all physical information like Vikramnagar area, all buildings, roads, water supply lines, drainage lines, fire fighting lines, pump house, wells, bore points, recharge wells, and STP plant, torrent power substations, DG set rooms, LT panels, LT cables, electrical light poles and solar light poles, nursery area and trees are converting into digital forms using GIS by developing different layers. Thus Digital information will be used for identification of each utility and finally, this software will provide information of the entire Vikramnagar housing colony related to Construction & Maintenance Group by providing instant records availability. The Utility system load flow based on GIS presented in the paper is an ideal tool for performing the analysis and viewing the results on a map superimposed with other geographic layers. It allows power system planners to work on the real system by relating the output to the location of load and feeder. Together with the utilization of water supply lines, fire fighting lines, drainage lines, all buildings, roads, trees and power distribution the System will become an essential tool for utility decision makers and the Occupants of the colony. The data of water supply, fire fighting, drainage and power distribution systems are very complicated to update, and there is a lack of linkage between spatial and non-spatial data.

An accurate, up-to-date model of a utility’s distribution network is the backbone of Smart Grid technologies. But a Schneider Electric survey shows that 74% of utilities are concerned about the readiness of their network model to support Smart Grid applications. This paper presents a quantitative comparison of a Geographic Information System (GIS)–based graphic work design system vs. a CAD-based tool, demonstrating how the GIS-based design approach is better able to keep up with the continuous changes in a dynamic electrical distribution network.
The new Esri Utility Network was released into beta earlier this year. SSP has worked with many utility customers to extensively test the new network including data migration, creating circuits & systems, editing data, and utility tracing. Join SSP and Intermountain REA to review how the testing has gone, what works well, and what needs improvement in the new Utility Network. We will also cover key aspects of the new network that will affect your utility so you can be prepared for your move to the Utility Network!
Field work is an aspect of operations and asset management that presents many challenges to utilities. Managers need efficient ways to instruct crews on the location and details of work. Field crews need intuitive and focused software tools that enable them to find and accomplish their work. But paper-based processes are still used for field work at our utility and many others. Why? Because typical mobile solutions are difficult to deploy, license, secure, integrate with enterprise systems, and maintain over time. Our resources are already stretched thin, so adding or expanding a complex solution is just not feasible.
This presentation proposes the mobile work management solution of our dreams. Imagine a solution that is simple to implement and addresses the variety of field work that our organization needs to accomplish. Our field personnel could deploy lightweight apps to their mobile devices in just minutes, log in seamlessly with their existing corporate credentials, and access their work instantly. They could work without internet connectivity, and their updates would be automatically synchronized to the enterprise when connectivity is re-established.
This dream mobile solution would enable the secure, unimpeded flow of digital information between the office and the field, accelerating our essential business workflows. We could quickly add as many users as needed to accomplish the task of the day. The solution would recognize that all field work has a location, and leverage our existing facility GIS to define work locations. Data captured in the field would include the information most relevant to our business, including work status and results, GPS breadcrumb trails, redline sketches of situations, and proposed edits to asset data.
We believe that the mobile work management solution of our dreams is within reach with today’s technology, and that it will truly lower our cost of doing business.
Best Practices for Creating Your Smart Grid Network ModelSchneider Electric
A real-time model of their distribution network enables
utilities to implement Smart Grid strategies such as
managing demand and integrating renewable energy
sources. They build this model in an Advanced
Distribution Management System (ADMS) based on
accurate and up-to-date information of the distribution
network infrastructure. Yet, a recent survey shows that
less than 5% of utilities are confident about the quality

More Electric:
Our world is becoming More Electric. Almost everything we interact with today is either already electric or becoming electric. Think about it. From the time you start your day in the morning to the time you finish your day – your home, your car, your work, your devices, your entertainment – almost everything is electric. Imagine the energy needed to power this. Electricity consumption will increase by 80% in next 25 years
More Connected: Our lives are also becoming more connected. The Internet has already transformed the way we live, work and play. Now the Connected Things is going to take this to a brand new level. 50 billion things connected in the next 5 years.
More Distributed: With such a widespread electrification and connectivity, energy models need rethinking as well. Which is why the generation of power needs to be closer to users. Distributed Energy is rapidly evolving globally. This is positive energy – renewable. In 2014 , Renewables overtook fossil fuels in investment value, with $295bn invested in renewables compared to $289bn invested in fossil fuels. And it is getting cheaper to do this.
More Efficient: When our world is more electric, more connected and more distributed, new opportunities emerge and allows us to tap into even more efficiency – in industrial processes, in the energy value chain, in buildings, in transportation, in the global supply chain and even in the comfort and peace-of-mind of our homes.
With more than $18 billion in M&A activity in the first half of last year alone, the colocation industry is riding the bubble of rapid growth. Colocation data center providers are being evaluated by a wide range of investors, with varying experience and perspectives. Understanding the evaluation criteria is a critical competency for attracting the right type of investor and financial commitment for your colocation business and this is why we have invited today’s speaker to present.

A Practical Guide to Ensuring Business Continuity and High Performance in Hea...Schneider Electric
Within healthcare facilities, high availability of systems is a key influencer of revenue and patient safety and satisfaction. Three important critical success factors need to be addressed in order to achieve safety and availability goals. These include exceeding the facility’s level of regulatory compliance, a linking of business benefits to the maintenance of a safe and an “always on” power and ventilation environment, and a sensible approach to technology upgrades that includes new strategies for “selling” technological improvements to executives. This reference guide offers recommendations for identifying and addressing each of these issues.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
