Flemish utility will use GE DMS to help meet EU's 20/20/20 goals

EANDIS, an electric and gas distribution utility in Belgium, will use GE's PowerOn distribution management system (DMS) for a smart grid project designed to improve grid and operational efficiency as well as integrate renewable energy to meet the European Union's carbon-reduction goal of 20% by 2020.

As GE explains it, the DMS technology integrates traditional utility distribution functions such as network management, outage management and regulatory reporting with emerging low carbon technologies like embedded generation and energy storage all in a single platform.

“GE’s integrated solution at EANDIS will provide a constantly evolving evergreen platform capable of meeting the changing requirements of the smart grid and the low-carbon economy,” said Luis Maria Perez, general manager at GE Digital Energy. “With more reliable, efficient and cleaner energy comes a more attractive environment for business and consumers—helping to spur economic development and improve lifestyles.”
