How their coming together increases distribution system performance
Historically, information technology and operational technology have developed along separate paths, with separate goals, operating in separate arenas, living separate lives, so to speak. Now there is much to be gained by marrying, aligning and integrating the work that goes on in both. IT/OT integration is happening across numerous sectors and industries. With the increasing sophistication and application of smart grid technologies in the electrical distribution industry, IT applications can now work in tandem with OT applications to increase distribution system performance. Over the last several years ABB has established a leadership position in integrated IT/OT for distribution management.
