What ADMS does

inavitas ADMS brings Utility SCADA, Distribution Management System, and Outage Management System together in a single, network-wide control stack. Operators see a live view of the grid, switch safely, manage outages, and integrate DERs and EVs with grid-code compliance. ADMS helps you:

  • Visualize grid conditions and power flows from feeders to transformers and substations.
  • Plan and execute switching operations with safety checks and operating limits.
  • Detect, locate, and manage outages with prioritized restoration plans.
  • Prepare the network for distributed generation, storage, and new loads.
Why ADMS

Key benefits

ADMS helps you move from siloed tools to an integrated distribution control stack.

Talk to an Expert

Higher reliability, fewer outages

Correlate SCADA, DMS, and OMS data to detect issues earlier, shorten outage duration, and restore customers faster with smarter switching and restoration plans.

Safer, consistent operations

Use one validated network model, rule-based switching, and standard operating procedures so control room teams and field crews act on the same, safe information.

Optimized voltage and losses

Analyze loading, voltage, and power flows to reduce technical losses, defer grid investments where possible, and use existing capacity more efficiently.

Future-ready for DER and EVs

Prepare the grid for solar, wind, storage, and electric vehicles with visibility of reverse flows, voltage impacts, and constraints across the distribution network.
Inside the stack

Inside ADMS: the modules

Each ADMS module can be explored in detail on its own product page, but they deliver the most value when used together.

Process

How ADMS works in practice

Sense & monitor

Utility SCADA gathers data from RTUs, IEDs, EV chargers, DER inverters, meters, and sensors to provide a real-time picture of the distribution network.

Analyze & decide

DMS and OMS apply network models, switching rules, and outage analytics to propose safe operating actions and prioritized restoration plans.

Act & restore

Operators execute switching plans, dispatch crews, and track restoration progress. Results feed back into analytics to continuously improve grid performance.

Unified network model & topology

Maintain one consistent network model across SCADA, DMS, and OMS, so every decision uses the same up-to-date electrical and geographical view.

Network-aware switching & safety

Simulate and validate switching plans before execution, with load, voltage, and safety checks that reduce risk for crews and customers.

End-to-end outage management

Detect, locate, and manage outages using SCADA alarms, customer calls, and AMI/IoT data to drive faster, more accurate restorations.

Advanced Volt-VAr & load management

Manage distributed generation, storage, and electric vehicle charging with visibility of flows and constraints, keeping the grid within regulatory limits.

Systematic approach

Part of one unified system

ADMS is a core application in the Inavitas utility solution stack, designed to support real-time distribution operations from field sensing to control-room decision-making. It uses trusted data sources, such as gateways, meters, and sensors, to build a reliable operational view, then turns that into alarms, events, KPIs, and operator workflows.

It also shares network and outage context with field execution tools to coordinate work and shorten restoration times, and it can integrate with existing utility back-office systems to complete the operational picture.
