Case Study: Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative restores power faster with SurvalentONE ADMS

Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative restores power faster with Survalent and cuts six servers from ADMS operations

Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative, a utility serving central Texas, faced significant challenges after replacing its outdated SCADA system with a new ADMS solution that failed to meet performance requirements. They were unable to implement Fault Location, Isolation and Service Restoration (FLISR) and needed a robust system from a vendor like Survalent to establish self-healing feeders and restore power faster in key areas.

Survalent implemented its SurvalentONE ADMS, which included SCADA, FLISR, and Rotational Load Shedding applications. This provided the utility with the ability to see downstream devices, pinpoint faults, and remotely reconfigure the network. The solution was a game-changer for restoring power quickly and also benefited the IT department by requiring six fewer servers, reducing maintenance efforts.
