Outage Management System (OMS): PowerManager

PowerManager reduces manual work by 60% by automating work flows. The system also automates limit and other ISO-required parameter calculation and submissions and integrates with internal systems such as bid/offer systems to ensure those systems utilize the most updated limits.

Crafted by Integ Consulting, PowerManager integrates all plant-related outage events and activities, dispatch instructions, event logs, unit capabilities, limits/ambient conditions, and reporting into one comprehensive solution. PowerManager not only optimizes your outage response, minimizing downtime, but also ensures accuracy, timeliness, and compliance in GADS Outage Reporting by creating GADS events from real-time events and updating them as required based on PI data.

PowerManager's Role in GADS Outage Reporting

Outage reporting is a critical aspect of outage management. According to NERC’s Generating Availability Data System (GADS), power generation companies must report outage data for statistical analysis and reliability assessment. Power Manager revolutionizes GADS Outage Reporting by ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and complete regulatory compliance. Its advanced features automate and streamline GADS reporting, enabling you to focus on your core operations.

The Power of Now: Real-Time Outage Management

Effective Real-Time Outage Management is pivotal to minimizing the impact of an outage. With PowerManager, the system automatically recognizes when an outage or AVR/PSS event is occurring through PI/SCADA integration and automatically creates an accurate ticket with all the of the key ISO information for operators to review and submit with only one click. For renewables, the system can also auto-submit tickets without user approval, if required.
