Integrated smart grid solutions for the digital era

The evolution toward a smarter grid is the most comprehensive and disruptive development to confront the energy industry since mass electricity distribution was first introduced more than a century ago. One-way flows are evolving into multi-directional flows of energy and digital information.

The resulting complexity requires a new, integrated approach to delivering the right information technology and operational technology solutions that will help define success for a smarter, interconnected and distributed future grid.

To help utility companies realize the benefits of a more digital grid, Siemens and Accenture have joined their complementary forces to create OMNETRIC Group.

This new business is dedicated to delivering integrated information and operational technology (IT/OT) solutions and services that will help utility companies achieve greater reliability and efficiency in the grid.

By combining Siemens’ leading energy technology product portfolio with Accenture’s recognized smart grid systems integration, consulting and managed services capabilities, OMNETRIC Group offers innovative solutions on a global scale.

Driving value from IT/OT integration OMNETRIC Group can support utility companies as they address the complex issues associated with achieving greater reliability, integrating distributed energy resources, and meeting environmental mandates, while managing increasing pressure to reduce operations and maintenance and capital expenditure.

To meet those goals, utility companies must combine vast volumes of data from smart meters and grid-sensing devices with enterprise and operational data to drive improved asset management, grid operations and customer service through advanced grid application and smart grid analytics.

OMNETRIC Group’s solutions and services hold the key to helping companies achieve value from IT/OT integration. By integrating processes, technology and information, utilities will be better positioned to capture benefits from the digitization of the grid.

Bringing together talented professionals dedicated to your industryWe combine excellence from two of the world’s leaders in their respective fields: Siemens’ engineering and energy technology, leading R&D in smart grid applications and focus on grid control, with Accenture’s systems integration and services capabilities, industry-specific technologies, assets and processes, and field tested delivery methodologies.

OMNETRIC Group brings together a strong combination of experienced engineers, IT specialists and project managers. Together, they possess the deep industry/process/technology and delivery experience required to help utilities transform.

We deliver: • Enterprise integration of siloed data

and platforms • End-to-end transformational IT/OT

projects• Integrated architecture across all

smart grid layers, from field devices to grid control, grid application and comprehensive smart grid analytics

• Disciplined approaches to end-to-end processes

• Sustained value from engineering-oriented solutions.

“The global utility market is evolving rapidly toward a smarter, interconnected and distributed grid. OMNETRIC Group unites the respective strengths of Siemens and Accenture to provide innovative solutions and services that help utility companies improve the automation, planning, monitoring and diagnosis of their power supply grid infrastructures.”

Maikel van Verseveld, CEO, OMNETRIC Group

We provide the full range of execution capabilities ranging from point solutions to enabling very large and complex infrastructure deployments. With access to onshore and offshore delivery resources, OMNETRIC Group can speed implementation and draw on broad experience to mitigate potential risk and lower cost.

Providing solutions and services for greater reliability and efficiency in the gridOur solutions and services seek to address the critical challenges of the smart grid and may help utility companies embrace opportunities and resulting new business models through:• Managing increasing volumes of

smart grid data along with the advanced analytics capabilities needed to constantly improve grid performance and become analytic and data driven organizations

• Balancing demand and supply by intelligently forecasting and influencing power consumption and optimizing the use of resources

• Managing distributed and renewable sources of energy, with smart management systems that can combine distributed energy resources into one virtual power plant that enables reliable planning

• Managing and stabilizing the grid for greater reliability and efficiency through advanced automation, sensing and measurement with improved interfaces from power generation through to consumption

• Improving capital and operations maintenance allocation through more informed asset management analytics, leveraging real-time data, to support predictive maintenance of grid assets and maximize field crew efficiency

• Enabling end consumers to improve energy efficiency with real-time flows of information about their consumption and incentives such as smart tariffs.

OMNETRIC Group will bring market-leading and rigorous delivery through the use of field tested tools, methods and accelerators such as Siemens’ Smart Grid Compass and Accenture’s High Performance Utility Model.

Our specific solutions and services include:• Siemens Smart Grid Engineering

Manager (SGEM) • Siemens Grid Control Platform and

Advanced Distribution Management System

• Siemens EnergyIP Platform and techologically leading Meter Data Management System (MDMS)

• Siemens Demand Response Management System (DRMS)

• Siemens Decentralized Energy Management System (DEMS) for Virtual Power Plants

• Integration of grid control systems with grid applications, enterprise systems, workforce management systems and geospatial information systems and other critical utility systems.

OMNETRIC Group can support utility companies globally wherever they may be on their path to a smarter grid in this new digital era.

“OMNETRIC Group is an agile, collaborative and customer-focused organization. Committed to innovation and to the acceleration of speed to value, we bring leading engineering, energy technology, systems integration and managed services talent together to drive IT/OT integration for a smarter energy ecosystem.”
