Automate NERC GADS Reporting and Compliance
Streamline NERC GADS submissions and simplify compliance with a fully integrated GADS system that saves time, improves data accuracy, and reduces reporting risks.
NERC GADS Automation & Compliance
Modernize GADS Reporting
Minimize manual work and ensure consistent, accurate, and auditable Generating Availability Data System (GADS) reports. Leverage data already captured by PCI’s OMS software to generate highly accurate GADS events and performance metrics, eliminating duplication and manual entry.
Boost Efficiency
- Automate GADS event creation using data already captured by PCI’s OMS, eliminating duplication and manual entry
- Save time on quarterly reports by generating standardized NERC GADS submissions in hours, not days
- Granular meter data and seamless PI integration ensure accurate, real-time unit data for reliable GADS events, eliminating manual entry
Gain Clarity
- Access consistent GADS data by capturing information once and using it across PCI’s OMS and other analytics tools.
- Link GADS events to OMS workflows, ensuring a single source of truth for performance and outage data.
- Analyze GADS data alongside other performance metrics to identify trends and improvement opportunities
Ensure Compliance
- Automatically generate and submit standardized NERC GADS reports for quarterly compliance, reducing manual work.
- Maintain audit-ready records of GADS events, including who entered and edited them.
- Easily export reports to meet regulatory requirements.
