We have presented the software and hardware requirements for these applications as well as case studies of various utilities, which are using a variety of IT solutions for these applications.IT applications for distribution network management call for a different breed of solutions, such as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems and Automated Mapping (AM)/Facilities Management (FM)/Geographic Information System (GIS) solutions. You have learnt about SCADA in previous Unit.

In this unit, we acquaint you with the GIS solutions pertaining to distribution network management. We also discuss software-based distribution network planning and analysis.
