Energy & Utilities

In addition to the core industry bundles we offer, ADRM Software also offers what we call Solution data models. These data models can be used on a stand-alone basis or in combination with a core industry bundle which they complement.

In some cases the Solution models are net new content which complements the content in the core industry for those companies that need it (for example the Generation Solution models will be relevant only to those utilities who are electricity generators). In other cases, the Solution models combine some existing content from a core industry bundle with additional custom content to address a specific functional requirement.

ADRM's Solution models provide an immediately-applicable detailed data architecture for complex and specialized aspects of one or more industries. Solution models available for the Energy and Utility industries include:

• Desalination - Multi-Stage Flash Distillation (MSF)

Desalination of water at a utility scale for human consumption and irrigation is increasing in dry areas around the world in countries as diverse as Saudi Arabia, Australia and the United States. This large data model provides detailed support for utility-scale desalination using the multi-stage flash distillation method, including detailed characteristics and performance of the various components that make up a typical utility-scale MSF distillation facility. This Solution Model can be used stand-alone or in conjunction with ADRM's Water Utility or Gas & Electric Utility industry data model sets.

• Desalination - Reverse Osmosis (RO)

This large data model provides detailed support for utility-scale desalination using the reverse osmosis method, including detailed characteristics and performance of the various components that make up a typical utility-scale reverse osmosis desalination facility. This Solution Model can be used stand-alone or in conjunction with ADRM's Water Utility or Gas & Electric Utility industry data model sets.

• Energy & Commodity Trading

Energy & commodity trading is an important component of some energy markets and may include an auction market for gas and/or electricity as well as over-the-counter and exchange based trading of commodities, supply commitments, carbon emission, transport capacity, etc. This very large Solution model comprehensively addresses the diverse set of information managed by a typical energy trading organization and can be used stand-alone or in conjunction with ADRM's Gas & Electric Utility industry data model set and/or ADRM's Generation Solution data models.

• Electricity Generation - Biomass

Biomass-based electricity generation can be fueled by a variety of fuel sources ranging from forestry by-products to agricultural and municipal waste. Biomass-powered energy is one of the largest renewable sources of energy in the U.S. and several other countries. This large data model provides detailed support for biomass-based electricity generation, including detailed characteristics and performance of the various components that make up typical biomass-based generation facilities. This Solution Model can be used stand-alone or in conjunction with ADRM's Gas & Electric Utility industry data model set.
