Full, Intermediate, and Light DMS Solutions for Distribution Utilities:
Global Market Analysis and Forecasts

A distribution management system (DMS) serves as the brains of distribution networks, supporting all aspects of grid operations. Third-generation advanced DMSs (ADMSs) offer a common user experience across many integrated distribution applications that share one common network model. Simply put, the DMS is the user interface to critical distribution infrastructure.

Information technology (IT) side projects following in the wake of smart grid equipment rollouts are the primary drivers behind third-generation DMSs in the near term. The underlying operational benefits of increased reliability and cost-effective optimization are also contributing to advances in this space. Moreover, rapidly growing interest in integrated distributed energy resources management motivated by renewables integration and demand response is spurring innovation. Navigant Research forecasts that annual revenue from distribution management systems will reach nearly $935 million worldwide by 2020.
