Smart Grid Solutions
LMKT has long been applying technology in the energy & utilities sector to improve efficiency and availability. This is achieved by employing and integrating the latest technology to existing infrastructure.
LMKT’s smart grid solutions enable electricity companies to enhance two-way communication between the utility and its customers.
This is especially useful in lead detection along transmission lines and calculation of load-flow for predictive analysis. Therefore, companies become more power efficient and optimize capacity.
Solutions and Services
The distribution network is the backbone of electricity delivery. LMKT offers network planning solutions that support the design, workflow, and asset management tools required for medium to large scale electricity distribution utilities. Efficient network planning helps these companies streamline the entire network design, cost estimation, construction, and workflow processes.
The market for Meter Data Management (MDM) is growing. Smart meter roll outs are increasing and utilities are bombarded with unprecedented volumes of data. This data can be used to improve customer relationships, utility operations and business intelligence. An MDM system provides long term data storage and management for the vast quantities of data delivered by smart metering systems. This data primarily consists of usage information and events, imported from the head end servers that manage data collection in Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), or Automatic meter reading systems (AMR).
LMKT’s Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) is one of the most comprehensive network management solutions. The system offers monitoring, analysis, control, optimization, planning, and training tools. All of these function on a common representation of the entire electric distribution network. By merging Distribution Management System (DMS), Outage Management System (OMS), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA) into one secure, unified solution, the ADMS can maximize benefits of intelligent grid devices, distributed renewable energy and advanced metering.
Two way communication is a key aspect in realizing Smart Grids, which is boosted by the advent of wired and wireless communication technologies. Our smart gird solutions let you focus on domains; such as home area automation, substation automation, and automated metering infrastructure. All of which are considered as priority areas for developing smarter grids.
We offer Outage Management System (OMS) solutions that let grid operators manage unscheduled and scheduled outages from distribution infrastructure; such as Distribution Transformers (DTs), HT/LT feeders, etc. The system can automatically collect information on outages from various sources and help coordinate with grid operators for corrective actions. OMS works as an efficient technology for improving system availability and reliability, thus increasing customer satisfaction.
Load flow management is critical to network analysis. A robust and efficient power flow solution models special features of distribution systems with sufficient accuracy. The Load Flow module designed by LMKT makes it easy to model unbalanced systems with the help of detailed representation of component unsymmetrical characteristics. The model is tested to provide accurate and reliable results. Additionally, automatic alarm/warning and advanced features such as automatic line constant calculation, qualify this solution as one of the most advanced Distribution Load Flow management solutions.
