Middle Tennessee EMC Merging Key Component of Telvent's Smart Grid Solution -
Responder OMS - With SCADA and Communications Systems
MADRID, Spain, April 29, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Telvent (Nasdaq:TLVT), the IT
company for a sustainable and secure world, announced today that Middle
Tennessee EMC (Electric Membership Corporation) has selected Telvent's Responder
Outage Management System to integrate with its ArcFM(tm) enterprise Geographic
Information System (GIS) and other information and communications systems for
improved response to outages and electric service disruption events. ArcFM GIS
and Responder are both key components of Telvent's Smart Grid Solution and are
designed to interface with electric utility enterprise operations and business
technologies to help create a more efficient and reliable power delivery
network.
Middle Tennessee EMC, Tennessee's largest cooperatively owned electric power
distributor and the sixth largest electric coop in the United States, serves
more than 180,000 homes and businesses. OMS Project Manager Bruce Bradford
reported the Telvent OMS will seamlessly integrate data from the utility's
established ArcFM(tm) enterprise Geographic Information System (GIS); device
status information from its supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA)
system; customer data from its Customer Information System (CIS); customer calls
from its Interactive Voice Response (IVR); and response vehicle location from
its Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL). Responder will provide a single user
interface for these information and communications systems.
"Responder is going to be very beneficial on many levels and will make the whole
process of helping our members during outages much more efficient," Bradford
affirmed to MTEMC employees during an orientation overview.
Frank Jennings, President of Middle Tennessee EMC, said, "OMS offers the
opportunity for MTEMC to address our members' concerns and questions in a timely
manner and enables the professional response they deserve. This new technology
should provide MTEMC the infrastructure for success and better member
satisfaction."
MTEMC, which also deploys Telvent's Designer GIS-based graphic design
application and ArcFM Viewer, plans to go live with Responder in June 2009 and
anticipates adding Telvent's DMS (distribution management system) to integrate
with Responder OMS in the near future.
