Using an HMI/SCADA solution based on situational awareness and Mobile Operator Rounds, the Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department provides management and maintenance of the county’s sanitary sewer system.
The greater the number of plants an engineer has to design, control, and rollout, the less effective are traditional procedural and list-oriented engineering tables. Replacing those with online template object-oriented systems can result in dramatic savings.
One of the key benefits in encapsulating design, parameterisation, and visualisation in an object methodology is the ease with which knowledge and understanding can be transferred from year-to-year and from older to younger generations.
Recent engineering system advances enable design, simulation, checkout, and deployment using a single environment. This makes it easier for lead and contract engineers to clone and extend plant models consistently, with minimal errors and design interaction.
Describing the fundamental model of the plant in terms of its functionality and data structure, augmented with appropriate visualisation, enables use of reusable objects without data degradation.
The latest IT and operational software system architectures have become more flexible and more powerful while relying less on custom code. At the base of the component stack is an efficient supervisory system providing plant control and monitoring. Push technology can be used to promote alerts and alarms to operators in the field. Security can be managed with firewalls and domain controllers.
As an example of an extensible architecture, one might use Historian to aggregate plant information on energy usage, and then feed information to other architectural levels, such as corporate-level energy management systems and business intelligence applications. Analysis may then reveal trends that could lead to new efficiencies or cost savings opportunities. The use of the latest Historian Web Client technology enables remote engineering and operations, maintenance, and virtual team access.
Continuous improvements in water reclamation and desalination technology have fostered an increased ability to produce clean water. However, even with these improvements, water processing operations continue to be energy intensive.
Optimisation of the energy cost equation includes the energy supply tariff, cost, and volume of pumped storage, as well as plant costs. With daily and seasonal variations in demand compounded by domestic and industrial demand, energy management systems using multi-site corporate and single-site stability constraints can determine the optimal pumping and storage regime. A good corporate energy management strategy supported by energy management software can balance factors such as the physical water network, actual energy costs, and demand throughout the wider region of use.
