Tiivistelmä
Distribution Network Operators (DNO) are encouraged to improve their operation to prevent outages and to decrease overall outage times in order to improve the reliability of electricity distribution. The integration of a Distribution Management System (DMS) and a Work Management System (WMS) enables DNOs to decrease the amount of outages and to shorter the outage times. In addition, this system integration can also be used to improve customer service during outages.
A concrete outcome of this thesis is an integration of the ABB MicroSCADA Pro DMS600 distribution management system and a work management system. Use of standard interfaces is evaluated in this information system integration. Standard interfaces are expected to ease the implementation and the maintenance of information system integration. The suitability of the Common Information Model (CIM) for the DMS-WMS integration is evaluated here.
This thesis covers the system integration process starting from capturing requirements, designing the interface according to the requirements and evaluating the implementation, maintenance and testing of the integration. Different methods and techniques are discussed. As a result, it is noted that the CIM standard cannot directly be applied to integrate the DMS and the WMS and some alterations are required. However, it was concluded that using the CIM as a basis data model for the interface eased the design and the implementation of the system integration.
