Ample® Analytics Platform Capabilities Beyond OT Systems

Most utilities have several OT systems in place, such as SCADA, OMS and DMS. Adding another software platform is not always easy, but it’s important to consider the following benefits to be gained from enhanced capabilities available through the Ample^® Analytics Platform.

Sensor fleet management – Ample enables efficient rollout and maintenance of large Sentient Energy sensor deployments. Sensor fleet managers have direct access to dashboards with key performance indicators to help ensure the fleet is operating effectively. Sensor firmware can be remotely upgraded with the latest versions, and automated alerts and notifications provide exception notifications for immediate mitigation.

Data collection, concentration, and integration – The Ample Analytics Platform collects all system data from Sentient Energy intelligent line sensors and can be the primary data repository for sensor data. Ample is flexible enough to easily integrate with other systems such as SCADA or historians and can be installed on-premises in a local data center, private cloud, or in Sentient Energy’s secure cloud.

Richer data and insights about system events – Ample visualizes real time, actionable sensor data with high resolution waveforms not available from OT systems. Precision time-aligned oscillography allows users to analyze grid events across multiple sensors simultaneously to provide three phase views of system locations. Ample’s advanced analytics can also distinguish between ground faults and line-to-line faults and determine whether coordinated protection schemes worked as designed.

Ample’s enhanced capabilities and distinct advantages over OT systems maximize your return-on-investment and enable data-driven grid decisions when deploying Sentient Energy line sensors.
