An era of automation has come upon the modern world, with unimaginable levels of control being imparted to us. This form of augmentation is being used right from improving an individual’s living standards to streamlining company processes across a plethora of industries. Innovation is present across all aspects of automation in today’s world. Keeping this in mind, two prominent systems have grown in this era of technology – power management and distribution management systems.
A power management system is a mechanism that controls and oversees an electrical system to ensure its safe and efficient functioning. This is assured by automating a variety of processes involved in power management, such as synchronisation, load sharing, frequency control, voltage matching, and load division – among several other functions as well. However, the correct functioning of a power management system depends on its simultaneous integration with another system that ensures the proper working of this mechanism.
This system is known as a distribution management system and ensures the critical task of distributing large amounts of electrical energy to a plethora of devices is accomplished – an essential service for multiple reasons. Therefore, it’s evident that power distribution should be monitored correctly if one is to make sure that this service witnesses adequate levels of functioning and reliability. The most critical functions of this system involve reducing power outages, minimisation of outage times, and maintaining regulated levels of frequency and voltage.
So, a question arising in our minds now – how do these systems impact the modern world? The best way to answer this question is by taking two use-cases of this technology.
- Home control: Smart home control is now one of the driving technological factors in today’s times. The smart home revolution has reached its peak as more and more connected hubs spring into existence. An efficient distribution management system ensures the proper management of power and electricity by controlling the distribution of electrical currents and voltages across homes.
- Machine control: One of the most important sectors to have seen rapid growth in this new era of technology and innovation is the manufacturing sector. Due to a rapid escalation in technological developments, the manufacturing industry needs to look at the latest innovations that will help them improve their functionality and stay one step ahead of the times. This is where power and distribution management comes into play since it will help monitor electrical energy in an organised manner to guarantee the reliable and constant working of industrial machinery.
It is slowly being proved that the best way ways to facilitate complete home and machine control is by inculcating an effective power distribution and management system, which helps automation processes become the norm.
