挑战
Kato Engineering 是一家设计和制造全系列精密制造的高品质交流发电机、电动发电机组以及主用、备用和调峰发电控制装置的公司，面临着重大挑战。发电机的次瞬态电抗是在瞬态负载事件的前几个周期内有效的发电机内部阻抗元件，很难预测。该电抗通常是在设计过程完成后通过新发电机设计的工厂测试来确定的。这种方法不仅耗时而且效率低下，因为它将潜在问题的识别推迟到设计过程完成之后。
关于客户
加藤工程是艾默生工业自动化旗下利莱森玛北美公司的一个部门。该公司成立于 1926 年，设计和制造全系列精密设计的高品质交流发电机、电动发电机组以及主用、备用和调峰发电控制装置。 Kato Engineering 位于明尼苏达州北曼凯托的设计和制造工厂拥有约 325 名员工。该公司的发电机广泛应用于全球各个行业，包括石油、天然气、煤炭、铜、铁矿石和木材开采。它们还为船舶、货轮、机车、飞机和公共交通系统提供动力。此外，加藤发电机还用于需要可靠、可控电力的地方，例如医院、计算机中心和电信站。
解决方案
为了应对这一挑战，Kato Engineering 转向 ANSYS Emag。该软件用于通过二维瞬态电路耦合电磁分析来预测次瞬态电抗。这使得可以及早预测次瞬态电抗，从而消除了设计后工厂测试的需要。除此之外，还评估了其他关键的发电机特性，例如开路饱和曲线和输出电压信号谐波失真。使用 ANSYS 参数化设计语言 (APDL) 开发了自定义宏来对四极发电机进行建模。该解决方案使 Kato Engineering 在创建物理原型之前的设计过程的早期阶段就了解了关键的发电机特性。

Case Study
Hydro One Leads the Way In Smart Meter Development
In 2010, Ontario’s energy board mandated that time-of-use (TOU) pricing for consumers be available for all consumers on a regulated price plan. To meet this requirement, Hydro One needed to quickly deploy a smart meter and intelligent communications network solution to meet the provincial government’s requirement at a low cost. The network needed to cover Hydro One’s expansive service territory, which has a land mass twice the size of Texas, and its customers live in a mix of urban, rural, and remote areas, some places only accessible by air, rail, boat or snowmobile. Most importantly, the network needed to enable future enterprise-wide business efficiencies, modernization of distribution infrastructure and enhanced customer service. To meet these needs, Hydro One conceptualized an end-to-end solution leveraging open standards and Internet Protocols (IP) at all communication levels. The utility drew upon industry leaders like Trilliant to realize this vision.

Selling more with Whirlpool
Whirlpool wanted to add connectivity to appliances and transform the company's relationship with customers. Traditionally, Whirlpool interaction with customers was limited to purchases made once every ten years. Connected washer and dryers provide exciting new features like remote management of start times and inter-machine communication.

SAS® Analytics for IoT: Smart Grid
Companies face falling revenues, rising infrastructure costs, and increasing risk of outages caused by inconsistent energy production from renewable sources. Less money is coming in as more people and organizations take steps to curb their energy use. Utilities are paying more to maintain and build infrastructure due to increasing complexity, resulting from the rising number of intermittent and variable renewable energy sources connected in the distribution grid.

Enel Secures Italian Power Generation Network
Electric energy operators around the world are working to increase the reliability and cyber resiliency of their systems. This includes Enel, a global power company that manages and monitors the Italian power grid. This grid:• Serves 31 million customers• Has a net installed energy capacity exceeding 31 gigawatts• Includes more than 500 power generation plants,including hydroelectric, thermoelectric, and wind• Is managed and monitored by Enel 24/7/365• Is operated by Terna, the Italian Transmission System Operator (TSO)Enel is responsible for the availability of the grid’s underlying ICS and industrial network. It also manages Regional Control Centers and Interconnection Centers which connect with the TSO. The TSO manages the flow of energy to the grid plus controls and remotely regulates the power generation of power plants, increasing and decreasing power production as required. The complex system of interaction and cooperation between Enel and the TSO has strong security implications as well as operational and business challenges.

Vodafone Hosted On AWS
Vodafone found that traffic for the applications peak during the four-month period when the international cricket season is at its height in Australia. During the 2011/2012 cricket season, 700,000 consumers downloaded the Cricket Live Australia application. Vodafone needed to be able to meet customer demand, but didn’t want to invest in additional resources that would be underutilized during cricket’s off-season.
