THE OBJECT-BASED ENTERPRISE

The automation of the Utility Enterprise is changing; objects are in to stay. This paper examines how electric utilities will automate to meet the competitive market. Deregulation has not only reshaped the organizational structure, but it is also reshaping the implementation of automation. A Distribution Management System must now be viewed as part of a technical enterprise and must exchange data with a number of other systems. These include corporate data warehouses, customer information systems, trouble call systems, and substation automation systems. Utilities are faced with large-scale integration to provide new services and data for customer retention. Object-based technology is being used to build data models, simplify programming, and allow applications and systems to inter-operate.
