Digital Grid Management Solution Will Improve
Access to Safe, Reliable Power While Accelerating the Operator’s
Renewable Energy Transition
Aspen Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:AZPN), a global leader in
industrial software, today announced that AES El Salvador has
selected its digital grid management (DGM) solution to improve the
secure and efficient delivery of electricity from local power
plants to more than 1.5 million residential and commercial
customers. AspenTech’s solution will support AES El Salvador´s
strategic initiative to transition from being a traditional one-way
electricity distribution network operator to a distributed system
operator (DSO) facilitating interconnections with alternative
energy sources and new power loads.
“Implementing AspenTech’s ADMS (advanced distribution management
system) and DERMS (distributed energy resources management system)
will allow us to provide a reliable, secure, energy efficient
distribution platform for our green energy goals today and into the
future,” said Daniel Bernardez, Operations VP, AES El Salvador.
“Having a central control system enables us to rapidly detect and
isolate electrical outages, minimizing recovery time during
emergencies and substantially increasing overall reliability for
our customers.”
AspenTech’s solution supplies high-performance enterprise
automation technology to energy customers in the generation,
transmission, distribution, utility, and oil and gas industries
around the world. In addition to its robust equipment control and
operating functionalities, its ADMS offers advanced applications
such as advanced DSCADA, distribution power flow, switch order
management, distributed energy resources management, fault
location, isolation and service restoration as well as outage
management system capabilities.
“AspenTech is proud to assist AES El Salvador in meeting their
reliability, security, and sustainability goals as they address the
new challenges of today’s and future energy markets,” said Edwin
Stephenson, Vice President, Strategic Accounts at AspenTech. “The
implementation of our digital grid management solution empowers AES
to reliably meet the demands of its large customer base while
addressing the future technical challenges with sustainability
imperatives.”
