Transforming Network Management with Advanced Active Network Management (ANM) Solutions


The Client has officially launched its Enterprise Active Network Management (ANM) System, marking a major milestone in network intelligence and DER integration. The system, built on ZIV’s TwinGRID Platform and powered by Silicon Grid’s technology, is now operational, supporting real-time network optimization and enabling the deployment of ANM schemes across its distribution network.


A Fully Redundant, Scalable ANM Platform


The Enterprise ANM System is designed to enhance grid reliability, optimize DER operations, and provide advanced real-time network modeling. The platform is now fully deployed in The Client’s northern and southern control centers, operating as a hot-standby redundant system to ensure continuous service and seamless failover capabilities.


Key Features of the ANM System:


Scalable ANM Hosting: Designed to support and integrate multiple ANM schemes across the network.✔ Advanced Real-Time Network Modeling: Enables precise simulations of grid conditions to optimize network performance.✔ Seamless ADMS Integration: Directly interfaces with The Client’s DMS (GE PowerOn) for real-time optimization of network assets.✔ Fully Redundant Architecture: Ensures operational resilience with automatic failover capabilities.


First ANM Schemes Successfully Deployed

With the ANM system now live, The Client has begun rolling out Active Network Management schemes, leveraging Constellation’s optimization engine to control and balance Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) at the Grid Supply Point (GSP) level. These deployments will enhance network flexibility, reduce curtailment, and facilitate greater renewable energy integration.

Key benefits of the ANM system going live include:✔ Enhanced grid stability through real-time optimization of DERs.✔ More efficient DER integration, supporting renewable growth.✔ Automated network control, reducing manual intervention and improving response times.✔ Increased capacity for new connections, avoiding costly network reinforcements.


A Future-Ready Grid Powered by Silicon Grid’s Technology


By adopting ZIV’s TwinGRID Platform powered by Silicon Grid’s Constellation technology, The Client has established a highly adaptable and intelligent network management solution. This live deployment signifies a major step forward in the transition to a digitally optimized, flexible, and low-carbon grid.


As new ANM schemes continue to be rolled out, this platform will play a pivotal role in supporting a more resilient, efficient, and sustainable energy system.
