The "grid" refers to our nation's electric power infrastructure. Smart grid is the application of information technology solutions, software and systems that can make the electrical grid run more efficiently. The current electric grid is highly inefficient and very much in need of modernization. That’s where Milsoft’s Electric Utility Management Solutions come in.

9. MILSOFT Smart Grid
• WindMil can be populated with actual historical data from SCADA
and AMR for analysis and planning.
• DisSPatch accepts / pings for real time data (i.e., power on / off)
from SCADA, AMR, AVL
• MILSOFT IVR facilitates real time customer and employee
communications.
• WindMilMap is can be used by customers for display of all of the
above.
• MILSOFT software suite integration and mobile tools for work and
work flow management are perfectly suited to real time grid
monitoring and control.
10. MILSOFT Smart Grid
MILSOFT is developing Real Time Distribution Grid
Analysis (aka real time state estimation).
• WindMil will be populated with and analyze real time data.
• Pilot projects at Owen Electric and Bluegrass Energy in Kentucky
making use of real time data from SCADA and AMR.
• Pilot project with Current Group making use of real time data from
distribution system sensors like those deployed in Smart Grid City in
Boulder, Colorado.
• Once real time analysis is demonstrated to be acceptably
accurate and sufficiently fast, participating utilities will begin
testing active grid management techniques based upon real time
data.
11. MILSOFT Smart Grid
MILSOFT will expand and enhance DisSPatch OMS to
monitor and address Smart Grid events.
• Service degradation
• Low/high voltage, flicker, harmonics, blinks, power factor, etc.
• Voltage control
• Conservation voltage reduction, demand response voltage reduction, voltage
regulation, loss reduction, feeder optimization, etc.
• Distributed generation monitoring & control
• Circuit switching / sectionalizing to anticipate overloads and
prevent outages
• Physical security
• Access monitoring & control
12. MILSOFT Smart Grid
MILSOFT will expand and enhance WindMilMap GIS to
display distribution grid information from WindMil real time
analysis and DisSPatch active grid management.
MILSOFT will expand and enhance PORCHE / Telelink /
Crew Call IVR to integrate with all of the above real time
applications as well as web served communications.
