Applications Developer – Utilities

Job Description

Network Management System Product Description

The Oracle Utilities Network Management System (NMS) is an integrated and flexible software system that helps utilities reduce outage restoration time, improve operational efficiency, provide better service to customers and safeguard workers and the public.

The Oracle Utilities Network Management System supports trouble management, outage analysis, operations dispatch, crew management, switching management, reliability reporting and other critical operations functions. In addition to application software, the Oracle Utilities Network Management System integrates with multiple business information systems– GIS, SCADA, CIS, AMR, and WMS to name a few – so operators have an accurate and real-time view of the electrical model’s current conditions. It also maintains a complete and accurate history of all outage events for management and regulatory reporting.

The Oracle Utilities Network Management System also supports distribution management system (DMS) functionality for electrical utilities such as power flow simulation, automatic switch plan generation, fault location, isolation, and service restoration, volt/var optimization, and an optimal power flow. These applications monitor and assess the characteristic of energy delivery in the distribution system and enables distribution operations to make better operational decisions to improve reliability and operational efficiency.
