New Era in the Energy Grid: Forces Join for Digital Transformation

Inavitas, Schneider Electric and Adm Elektrik and Gdz Elektrik Dağıtım companies within Aydem Enerji have signed a strategic partnership for EcoStruxure ADMS implementation in Turkey.

Under the agreement, Adm Elektrik and Gdz Elektrik, which serve more than 6 million subscribers in the Aegean Region, have chosen Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure ADMS (Advanced Distribution Management System) as their network management solution.
The project encompasses the modernization of existing SCADA and Outage Management Systems, as well as Distribution Management System (DMS) and Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) solutions.

Schneider Electric, in partnership with Inavitas, its business partner in grid operation software, and Adm Elektrik and Gdz Elektrik Dağıtım operating under Aydem Enerji, has signed a strategic partnership that will accelerate the digital transformation of Turkey's critical energy infrastructure. Within the framework of the signing ceremony held on 20 May, Adm Elektrik and Gdz Elektrik, which provide electricity distribution services in Aydın, Denizli, Muğla, İzmir and Manisa provinces and serve a total of more than 6 million subscribers, have chosen Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure ADMS solution as their network management system.

Next-Generation Network Management Through SCADA, DMS and DERMS Integration
The work to be implemented under the SCADA/ADMS/OMS/DERMS project includes modernization of existing SCADA and Outage Management Systems, enhancement of advanced analysis and optimization capabilities on the network with Distribution Management System (DMS), and more effective management of renewable energy sources through Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS).

The project will also provide integration with numerous critical IT systems, particularly Geographic Information System (GIS).

Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure ADMS platform, widely used globally, combines SCADA, OMS, DMS and DERMS functions on a single network model and common user interface, aiming to increase operational visibility, improve outage management, enhance network optimization and raise service quality.

Turnkey Digital Transformation Support from Inavitas
Inavitas, Schneider Electric's business partner in grid software, will implement the project on a turnkey basis in compliance with Turkey's regulations and will play a critical role in ensuring system continuity. The project will support Adm Elektrik and Gdz Elektrik's digital transformation journey, enabling their existing systems to operate under an integrated and centralized structure.

"Energy networks must now be smarter and more agile"
Mehmet Özalp, Regional President of Schneider Electric Turkey and Central Asia, made the following comments regarding the partnership:

"Distribution networks, which connect generation and consumption, lie at the heart of energy transformation. Increasing distributed energy resources and expectations for uninterrupted power supply make it necessary for networks to be managed in a smarter and more agile manner.

Our EcoStruxure ADMS solution provides the capability to analyze field data in real time and convert it into rapid decision-making and action. This project, implemented with Inavitas, Adm and Gdz Elektrik, is not merely a technology investment but a strategic transformation step toward the future of Turkey's energy infrastructure."

"We are creating a reference model in Turkey's energy infrastructure"
Inavitas CEO Erman Terciyanlı commented on the project's significance as follows:

"Networks are no longer merely structures that transmit energy but are transforming into real-time managed digital systems. Managing this transformation in an infrastructure serving more than 6 million subscribers requires advanced technology and local regulatory expertise.

As Inavitas, we are implementing the project on a turnkey basis by combining the EcoStruxure ADMS platform with our local engineering capacity. This partnership is an important milestone for the digital future of Turkey's energy infrastructure."

"Digital transformation will strengthen operational excellence"
Emrah Kalkan, General Manager of Adm Elektrik, highlighted the project's strategic importance for the company, stating:

"This partnership is a significant turning point in our digital transformation and operational excellence journey. By upgrading our SCADA system, we are transitioning to an integrated platform where we can manage all network data from a single center.

Once this project is completed, outage management will improve, integration of distributed energy resources will be strengthened, and the region will receive more uninterrupted power supply."

"It will serve as a reference in digital infrastructure management for the sector"
Ahmet Bayramoğlu, General Manager of Gdz Elektrik, made the following statements in his assessment:

"Systems that can process the right data at the right time are the foundation of operational excellence in energy distribution. With EcoStruxure ADMS, we are making our network management more integrated and efficient.

This project will create an important reference model in terms of digital infrastructure management in Turkey's energy distribution sector."
