ABB introduces ADAM - a power distribution management solution for Vietnam |
Built on ABB’s secure cloud and cybersecurity infrastructure, ADAM integrates seamlessly with the SSC600 platform, combining advanced control and monitoring functionalities into a single substation device. This integration enhances grid stability and operational efficiency, addressing growing needs in Vietnam’s ongoing efforts to modernise its energy infrastructure.
ABB also presented a preview of the forthcoming ADAM AI capability for fault analysis and prediction, representing the next step in power distribution management. This capability is being developed to provide advanced predictive fault detection and intelligent network management.
By providing AI capability utilising the SSC600 platform, a centralised protection and control device designed to streamline and modernise substation management, ADAM AI will allow operators to analyse grid data more effectively, detect anomalies, and implement proactive measures. This advancement significantly boosts grid reliability and aligns with Vietnam’s long-term energy goals.
By integrating advanced technologies like SSC600, ADAM and the upcoming AI capability, ABB aims to support all users in the power sector and large industrial investors in overcoming the challenges of modernising power distribution networks and integrating renewable energy sources, ultimately enabling greater efficiency and resilience in their operations.
"For Vietnam’s evolving power grid, where modernisation and sustainability are crucial, innovation plays a key role in developing solutions that enhance reliability and efficiency. ABB is committed to equipping our partners and customers with the advanced tools needed to drive sustainable growth and ensure a resilient energy future for Vietnam," said Doan Van Hien, vice-president of the Electrification Business at ABB in Vietnam.
ADAM was presented at a seminar on the use of AI in power grid management held in Hanoi on August 20 and in Ho Chi Minh City on August 23. The events brought together key stakeholders from Vietnam’s power companies, industrial investors, consulting companies, and university experts, demonstrating ABB’s commitment to advancing the energy transition with innovative solutions evolving with renewable energy.
