distribution management
changes impacting utility planning & operation

THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE
distribution system is mind boggling! A
few of the major technical improvements
include the large-scale addition of distributed energy resources, widespread
demand response, new protection and
control equipment, and innovative monitoring of the state of the system. The distribution system now experiences twoway power flows as the grid's resources
become lower emitting and more variable. Faults can be isolated quickly and
service automatically restored. But how
can large and small utilities manage the
huge volume of data and address the
plethora of issues that have increased
the complexity of planning and operating the distribution system?

In This Issue
Thankfully, our guest editors, Mani
Vadari, Ron Melton, and Kevin Schneider, provide us with the answer. This
issue comprehensively discusses advanced distribution management systems
(ADMSs) by a good mix of authors
representing diverse countries, large
and small vendors and utilities, and academia. The articles in this issue cover
✔ the major changes seen on the
distribution system and the need
for new tools to plan and operate
the system
✔ how interoperability and standards can enable ADMSs
✔ lessons learned from utilities in
the early, middle, and completed
stages of ADMSs

planning and operations
✔ an integrated approach for managing faults and outage management
✔ the latest in research and development of ADMSs from early
concepts through demonstration projects.

History
Phasors are considered a fundamental
concept in the analysis of ac circuits,
yet multiple meanings and uses of
the word "phasor" exist in the technical literature, which can create confusion. The "History" column, by Harold
Kirkham, discusses how the meaning of
phasor has changed over the last 75 years.

Some of the modern implications of
the definition have become important
with the widespread use of phasor
measurement units in today's power
systems for various monitoring and
control applications.

Society Updates
Congratulations to the IEEE Power &
Energy Society (PES) election winners
President-Elect Jessica Bian, Secretary
Jonathan Sykes, and Treasurer Nouredine Hadjsaid. Thanks to the outstanding slate of candidates for running and
to all Society members who voted.
Incoming PES President Frank
Lambert, in his "Leader's Corner"
column, discusses some of the major
changes our industry is facing and how
PES is leading the effort to understand
