Oncor Electric Delivery Co. (Oncor) selected AspenTech Digital Grid Management (DGM) solutions to optimize real-time grid operations and help the utility reliably deliver energy to Texas customers. AspenTech is a unit of Emerson.

“Innovation is essential to how Oncor prepares for the evolving energy needs of a rapidly growing Texas,” said Malia Hodges, senior vice president and chief information officer at Oncor. “We are investing in advanced operational technologies that enable greater visibility, faster response and long‑term resilience across our system.

Oncor is expanding its multi-year relationship with Emerson through its recent selection of the AspenTech OSI Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) to improve visibility and automation of Oncor’s distribution grid and gain advanced capabilities to scale outage management and workforce coordination.

Oncor has also selected AspenTech Cimphony Network Model Management for its transmission environment to enhance Oncor’s grid data modeling, validation and synchronization, including data exchanges and interoperability between Oncor and Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT).
