Smart distribution management system

Several utilities in Africa are planning to build Smart Distribution Management System (SDMS) to provide better customer service, improve reliability & quality of power supply and also improve commercial viability of their utilities. The SDMS architecture and design for each Utility has to be determined considering current operational status of distribution network, ability to mobilize resources to finance capital investment and anticipated benefits. This paper presents SDMS architecture and design for a Typical African Utility based on Consultant's hands on experience of working with African Utilities for more than a decade. A case study of implementing proposed SDMS for a Ghanaian utility, Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo) currently under progress is presented.
