Smart Grid Process Reengineering

The Smart Grid is a complete paradigm shift for most utilities.  Most don't understand the magnitude of the changes required to fully adopt an automated Smart Grid / AMS Solution.  Traditionally, Utilities have been directed from top down by management and manual interactions (i.e. phone calls, fax & email requests, etc.) with days to respond to requests.  AMS and Smart Grid turn this upside down. 

 

Extensive Process Reengineering will be required around: 

  • Network and Communications Management

  • Transactional Automation

  • Data Management Automation

  • Problem and Incident Management

  • Asset Management

  • The entire Service Management Program

Vortecy has successfully reengineered business processes around some of the most complex Smart Grid systems in the world.  Let us help you evaluate your needs as well.

 

 

Smart Grid Systems Evaluations and Selections
Through our deep energy systems implementation experience, we can effectively advise and assist companies through the difficult process of selecting major new technology systems.  By utilizing Vortecy's unique Vendor Selection process, client's make more informed decisions and are able to reduce systems and implementation costs.

 

 

Correlation Data Bank
Massive amounts of data will be pouring in requiring immediate responses. 
However, most utilities will never be able to tap in to the power of this data because of their lack of experience in correlating, analyzing and automating it.  Instead most will be overwhelmed by the data and will either walk away from its capabilities or minimize it's usability.

Vortecy's Correlation Data Bank provides the awareness while it aggregates and correlates the data, then it provides the analytics to automate processes. 

 

 

Asset Management 
Success is determined by Visibility.  Asset Awareness is critical to successful problem and incident management.  Vortecy has developed an exclusive methodology and technology which enables utilities to gain awareness at a 30.000' view of their operations while being able to drill down to the asset level.  Vortecy offers a proven holistic approach to implementing and managing an Advanced Metering System.  Our AMS experts have successfully architected and deployed one of the most complex and highly sophisticated AMS implementations in the industry.
