The World Market Study of SCADA, EMS, DMS and OMS in Electric Utilities: 2017-2019

The World Market Study of SCADA, EMS, DMS and OMS in Electric Utilities: 2017-2019

A Four-Volume Report by Newton-Evans Research Company
Newton-Evans’ World Market Study of SCADA, Energy Management Systems, Distribution Management Systems and Outage Management Systems in Electric Utilities: 2017-2019 is a four volume, multi-client market report. Participants in this market study include utility engineers and managers from investor-owned utilities, municipal and provincial utilities, cooperative utilities within the United States and Canada, together with national power systems throughout the world.

The study measures current market sizes and will contain projections on a world region basis for the next several years. The entire research program helps define the product and market requirements which suppliers must meet in order to successfully participate in one or more of these diverse world market regions.

In the first quarter of 2013, Newton-Evans estimated a combined value of awards for EMS, SCADA, DMS, OMS and energy exchange and ISO/RTO systems at upwards of $6.5 Billion over 4 years. It is important for electric utilities and control system vendors to learn how changes in the world market conditions since then will affect the outlook for 2017-2019.

Introduction
Current and future use of Energy Management (EMS), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Distribution Management (DMS), and Outage Management (OMS)
1. Which of these systems does your company use? (Check all that apply)
2. What vendors do you use for the systems you have?
3. Do you plan to add any new/replacement or upgraded/retrofitted systems by 2019?
4. What is your planned estimated budget range from 2017 to Year End 2019 for EMS?
5. What is your planned estimated budget range from 2017 to Year End 2019 for SCADA?
6. What is your planned estimated budget range from 2017 to Year End 2019 for DMS/ADMS and/or OMS?
7. Do you have an Advanced DMS (ADMS)? (i.e. does it provide SCADA, DMS and OMS together in one user interface)
8. If you have an ADMS, does the SCADA functionality and network modeling include Distributed Energy Resources (DERs)?
9. What applications do you use as part of your DMS or ADMS?
10. Does your utility currently have real-time linkages between SCADA and GIS or OMS? (Check all that apply)
11. Is the support group for EMS/SCADA/DMS part of your corporate IT department or managed by the line of business?
12. Has your utility converged SCADA/DMS and OMS functions?
13. What types of networks do you use for communication from the substation to the external EMS/SCADA/DMS host/network? (Check all that apply)
14. For communication from the substation to the external EMS/SCADA/DMS host/network, do you use an “in-house” network or rely on a commercial carrier network?
15. Please indicate your current and planned use of communication protocol(s) within the substation, and from the substation to external EMS/SCADA/DMS host/network. Check all that apply.
16. If you are NOT using or planning to use IEC61850, what are some reasons why you are not interested?
17. What communications method(s) do you use to connect your SCADA system to substations?
18. Check any external assistance or third-party services needed for the following control center activities
19. Please specify the approximate number of CURRENTLY INSTALLED RTUs, PLCs, substation platforms, etc. on your EMS/SCADA/DMS systems.
20. Please specify the approximate number of additional RTUs, PLCs, substation platforms, etc. PLANNED FOR INSTALLATION on your EMS/SCADA/DMS systems from 2017 to Year End 2019.
21. Does your utility currently have some form of analytics?
22. Please check your level of agreement/disagreement with the following statements:
23. If you have any comments to add regarding the statements/topics in the previous question, leave them here
24. For which of the following applications does your utility use synchrophasors?
25. What are the Operating System preferences for the platforms on your system?
26. What are some of the latest technologies that you have incorporated into your EMS/SCADA/DMS platforms?
27. With experienced personnel leaving the workforce due to retirements, how is your utility able to maintain a “Qualified Support Staff” for EMS/SCADA systems?
Use this space for comments, or to suggest new features, tools, applications or services that you need or expect to see available from EMS/SCADA/DMS vendors (e.g. service oriented architecture, additional cyber security features, NERC compliance reporting, etc.)
Regarding “As Is” Engineering to Operations Integration (GIS to DMS/OMS) model maintenance, and how distribution circuit designs move from GIS to (A)DMS in current processes.
28. How are distribution circuit designs captured and transferred?
29. How are distribution circuit designs updated?
30. What standard is used for updating design files?
31. What system is master?
