The recent technological innovations, related to advanced measurement and automation infrastructures, and even sophisticated computational intelligence mechanisms, create opportunities to improve the operational efficiency of electrical systems and power quality indicators within the smart grids context. Aiming to this purpose, distribution companies use supervision, monitoring, control, management and georeferencing systems and have invested in automation and modernization projects of their electrical grids. Thus, this paper presents an architecture deployment for advanced distribution automation (ADA) applications, which includes state estimator, Volt/VAr control and FLISR (fault location, isolation and service restoration) tools and an interoperability bus that integrates the corporate systems with the operational management. The developed applications were tested and applied for real networks, simulated in a computational environment and integrated with the Smart Grids NAPREI/USP Laboratory environment. The results also demonstrate the processes of integrating ADA applications into a commercial service bus, which communicates the company's legacy systems, and a new contribution with information for advances in the distribution automation area.
