'''Key Components of a DMS'''

'''1.''' '''Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)'''
* Provides real-time monitoring and control of distribution network assets.
* Enables remote switching and fault isolation.

'''2.''' '''Outage Management System (OMS)'''
* Detects and predicts power outages.
* Helps utilities restore power quickly by identifying fault locations.

'''3.''' '''Energy Management Functions'''
* Optimizes voltage control and load balancing.
* Supports demand-side management and distributed energy resources (DERs).

'''4.''' '''Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Integration'''
* Collects real-time consumption and network performance data.
* Enhances load forecasting and billing accuracy.

'''5.''' '''Fault Detection, Isolation, and Restoration (FDIR)'''
* Uses automation to detect and isolate faults, minimizing service disruptions. 
* Enables self-healing grid capabilities.

'''6.''' '''Geographic Information System (GIS) Integration'''
* Provides a spatial view of network assets and topology.
* Aids in planning, asset management, and outage response.
