It is vendor agnostic, works with primary and secondary assets, and allows operators to provision, update, and manage multiple devices at the fleet level while ensuring top-notch cybersecurity and resilience. DvM is part of GridBeats™ – a portfolio of software-defined automation solutions for grid digitalization that’s designed to improve adaptability, visibility, and control over the grid. Connecting Renewable Energy and Power Grids for a Sustainable Future Increasing Number of Electronic Devices Rapid growth of quantity and complexity of electronic devices in the gridOperational complexity managing multi-vendor, multi-generation devices Regulations and Cyber Risks Increasing cyber risks for field devicesMore efforts for regulatory compliance Human Errors and Increasing Complexity Challenges in tracking settings and configuration at fleet level Mismatched settings caused 40% of the misoperations in US in 2022 Costly In-person Management Activities Unmonitored substations and facilities Higher operational costs for in-person activities Delays in Information Collection Challenges in maintaining a single source of truthRequirements to speed up fault analysis & improve resource utilization Solution overview GridBeats™ DvM brings together dedicated software and hardware, engineering expertise, and ongoing maintenance and support. KEY BENEFITS Reduce OPEX with streamlined operations and fewer truck rolls Enable secure remote access to field devices Simplify operations with one centralized device management platform Decrease human error through automated tasks and analysis Support regulatory compliance and cybersecurity readiness Core Features and Optional Solution Packages GeneralGridBeats™ DvM has a flexible, multilayered software architecture that allows secure remote connection to data on the operational level to the enterprise level. This allows users to access non-operational data from any vendor and expose it to other enterprise systems. Note: DvM application consists of three software layersDvM Adaptor (L0) Manages communication to edge devices. These components can be specific to device types/models.DvM Edge (L1) Middleware to ensure secure and stable connectivity with devices in substationDvM Enterprise (L2) Central software, user HMI, supporting interactions with other enterprise systems such as SCADA, DMS, Historian, Password vaults etc. #1 Fleet-wide Asset Visibility #2 Vendor-Agnostic Device Management #3 Settings Configuration & Firmware Management #4 Faster Fault Analysis & Operational Efficiency #5 Advanced Cybersecurity & Compliance #1 Fleet-wide Asset Visibility + GridBeats™ DvM can provide fleet-level visibility into devices, including their own non-operational information and status, through a single pane of glass. It automatically collects and maintains inventory data, ensuring access to the most up-to-date information across the fleet. #2 Vendor-Agnostic Device Management + DvM manages multi-vendor IEDs and automation devices through a unified, standardized approach. Its latest technologies and scalable architecture make the solution future ready. #3 Settings Configuration & Firmware Management + Keeping settings and configuration aligned across field devices with the protection studies is fundamental to ensuring system reliability. GridBeats™ DvM automates settings management and provides configuration management, firmware monitoring and policy compliance capabilities. Operators have access to the complete configuration history of their devices and receive alerts when settings are changed, ensuring alignment with the established baseline. #4 Faster Fault Analysis & Operational Efficiency + DvM delivers centralized fault collection, event analysis, and reporting for smarter and faster fault analysis and corrective actions. The solution can automatically and periodically collect and consolidate oscillography and sequence-of-events data from relays and digital fault recorders (DFRs) into its database. #5 Advanced Cybersecurity & Compliance + GridBeats™ DvM features built-in cybersecurity, role-based access control, password management, and auditing capabilities. The software complies with the latest cybersecurity practices and standards, including IEC 62443 and NERC/CIP.
