About DC Systems

DC Systems is a leading developer of Smart Grid software for electric utilities. DC Systems provides the RTscada family of products which are used to acquire real-time data from intelligent substation and field devices, securely transport the data over utility communication and network systems, and present the data in a meaningful way to both users and other enterprise systems such as EMS, DMS, OMS, maintenance, and corporate historians. The product family includes data concentrators, communication gateways, substation masters, transmission and distribution SCADA, as well as enterprise information management and data presentation systems. Advanced distribution automation programs provide real-time data analysis, decision making and automated control to perform feeder self-healing and optimization functions.

Integration Description

The DC Systems product line is built on a distributed processing architecture. Data is acquired and processed as close to the point of origin as possible. This creates a cloud computing scenario where decisions are made in real-time. This architecture fits seamlessly into the IP-based Silver Spring system, leveraging the processing power contained within the network. The individual Silver Spring network nodes provide distributed network services that are integrated into the DC Systems software.
