The technologies Avista will need to support the transition to a more distributed and efficient electric system will operate under a different paradigm than today: moving from monolithic to modular, from centralized to distributed and from vendor lock in to agile and innovative choices which reduce integration cost and technical debt.
Avista needs technologies such as Distributed Management Systems (DMS), Outage Management Systems (OMS), Capacity Remuneration Mechanisms (CRM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to be highly flexible, integrated, adaptive and cost effective in order to engage closer with customers through changing regulatory frameworks and new business models, while still maintaining the safe and reliable infrastructure customers rely on. |
