Dell Smart Grid Data Management Solution Enables Utility Companies to Improve Efficiency

Business Wire
Dell today announced the availability of a new bundled solution
designed to help electric utility companies smartly manage their
distribution networks, minimize and potentially avoid outages and
improve service to their customers through an innovative
application of smart grid technologies.
The Dell Smart Grid Data Management Solution, tested in
collaboration with OSIsoft, combines high-performance computing,
networking and storage to manage data and provide actionable
results in real-time. Based on customer requirements and the age of
the data, Dell’s solution provides three tiers of storage, enabling
customers to optimize performance at a low cost.
Leading electric utilities are beginning to leverage Phasor
Measurement Units (PMUs) within their transmission and distribution
(T&D) systems to monitor and manage the health of the T&D
system. PMU measurements provide data related to the stability of
the electricity network; PMU output can indicate either a current
or imminent outage condition. However the benefits of these
high-speed measurements (up to hundreds of measurements per second)
are only realized when actionable information from the streaming
data can be efficiently retained for later analysis. Dell’s Smart
Grid Data Management Solution, in conjunction with the OSIsoft PI
System™, provides an efficient, scalable platform for this
analysis.
The solution’s reference architecture features Dell PowerEdge
12th-generation servers with PCI Express Flash drives, and provides
data in near-real time to grid operators enabling them to quickly
identify and assess the health of the distribution grid. Dell
Force10 high-performance 10/40GbE network switches provide
low-latency, high-bandwidth throughput to handle the data demands
of the entire system, and Dell Compellent’s automated tiered
storage makes relevant data readily accessible while providing the
flexibility and scalability to store historical grid data for
compliance purposes.
Supporting the Dell Smart Grid Data Management Solution is a
range of service choices that simplify the assessment, design,
implementation, management and maintenance of the infrastructure.
Depending on current business requirements and the level of service
desired, Dell Service professionals can provide factory, onsite,
remote, modular and specialized services that fit specific customer
needs and budgets.
Tested with Industry-leading Software from OSIsoft
Dell has teamed with industry leader OSIsoft to test the Dell
Smart Grid Data Management Solution. The OSIsoft PI System is the
enterprise infrastructure for streaming data and events. The PI
System captures phasor and other T&D system performance data,
archives and contextualizes the data including real-time
calculations and makes the data available to staff, applications
and business systems.

“Smart grid technologies have the potential to revolutionize the
way power is produced, delivered, used and conserved – but only if
we can effectively capture, analyze and respond to the data that is
generated,” said Jeff Gillespey, global energy sales director
for Dell. “Managing the data deluge is imperative for utility
companies that want to make their operations more efficient, and
Dell is committed to giving them the power to improve productivity
and enhance service levels.”
“Today’s energy distribution system is more complex than ever
before. For instance, homeowners are installing solar panels that
can actually feed energy back to the grid, and electric vehicles
are presenting new demand challenges for energy companies,” said
David Lear, executive director of sustainability at Dell.
“Dell’s Smart Grid Data Management Solution can help our energy
customers – and their customers – be productive and environmentally
sustainable. We are committed to putting our technology and
expertise to work where it can do the most good for people and the
planet.”
“In the utilities market, deriving knowledge from grid data
confers a competitive advantage but can stress computing systems,”
said Bernard Morneau, chief strategy officer at OSIsoft. “We
are very pleased to see Dell taking up this challenge and joining
us in this journey to help OSIsoft customers address their growing
data management requirements. We will be looking to expand
this collaboration to other industries and big data scenarios.”
