The time for GNM is now Learn why utilities should augment their ADMS with an upgraded network model, like the one GNM provides.Read blog View All Resources Resources Blogs FAQs FAQs What is a geographic information system (GIS)? Geographic information system (GIS) refers to a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. The utilities industry leverages GIS technology to create as-built network models of their assets. This network model forms the backbone for numerous other grid applications, such as DERMS, ADMS, AEMS, and more. What is the difference between Geographic information system and Geo Network Management? While many utilities do have network modeling solution in-house, many lack the power and advanced capabilities to fully support their needs amidst the challenges of the energy transition. This is because many utilities rely on generic GIS solutions. GIS solutions have a number of shortcomings that make it difficult to ensure their network model is complete, accurate, and available at all times. Examples include issues with data accuracy, access, and integrity; high maintenance and update costs; and slower restoration times resulting from bad data.Smallworld Geospatial Network Modeling is purpose-built for utilities, and enables unique, utility-specific use cases that a generic Geographic information system cannot support. Examples of use cases that Smallworld GNM can empower include network reliability assessments, connectivity analysis, load balancing, flow optimization, and more. Does Smallworld Geospatial Network Modeling enable utility network mapping and management? Yes. Because Smallworld GNM is purpose-built for utilities, it enables thorough and precise network mapping of every line, pole, substation, transformer, and flow pattern. This data can then be utilized for various network management use cases. What is the connection between a smart grid and geo network management? A complete and accurate network model is an absolute essential for a truly smart grid. Network model data fuels countless key use cases and applications, particularly those powered by AI and ML. Utility-specific Smallworld GNM provides the high-quality data that will turn your grid into a smart grid.
