externally developed application
into most vendors' ADMSs.
✔ Industry engagement: Vendors,
utilities, researchers, academia,
and standards development organizations need to work together to
define how standardized platforms
can meet current and future needs.
Examples such as 10,000 DERs
embedded in distribution and transmission networks, 50% penetration by electric vehicles using the
latest fast dc chargers, and several
tens of microgrids are all possible
and need the best people working
together to deliver successful outcomes under different operating
and performance conditions.
It is in the best interests of all the
st a keholders for ADMSs and their
implementations to move from today's
proprietary, vendor-specific products to
systems using an open architecture and
standards-based data exchange that will

enable the integration and management
of all assets and functions across the
utility enterprise regardless of vendor
or technology.

Summary
Change in the electricity industry is accelerating. Management and operations
of electricity distribution systems are
profoundly impacted by these changes.
The cost-effective operation of reliable
and resilient systems requires new approaches to the development and deployment of critical software such as
ADMSs. What an exciting time to be
involved in the industry, crafting solutions that support a transition to a lower
carbon, highly distributed electric power system!
