Modules

The comprehensive outage management system

The PCI Transmission OMS is an integrated set of applications that streamline work processes and improve communications between field crew, substation operations, schedulers and control room.

TADS

Driven by event data within the outage system, the TADS module can identify BES impacting equipment outages and create corresponding TADS report records. Users can provide supporting data and quickly generate NERC submissible reports.

Disturbance Tracking

Identify and log disturbance events, generate outages for any sustained disturbances, and track customers impacted. Support for tracking geospatial data specific to equipment and events

Misoperations

Identify, log and track protection system misoperation events for BES elements. Generate PRC-004 compliant reports for submission to NERC. Link records to disturbance events and comprehensive outage analysis.

Integrate with Transmission Study Tools

Transmission OMS can communicate and interface with standard transmission tools such as PowerWorld and PSSE – making it easy for Transmission Engineers to initiate studies and post results into PCI. 

Generation Outage Management

Quickly coordinate real-time generation outages, conduct long-term outage planning and configure your workflows to streamline your operations. And do it all while meeting regulatory requirements and generating clear audit trails.
