挑战
沙特电力公司 (SEC) 是中东最大的电力供应商，在管理其庞大的远程站点网络的建设和维护项目方面面临着重大挑战。该公司之前基于大型机的管理系统严重依赖手动流程，这使得承包商很难从现场提交项目更新。这导致公司总部管理人员的可见性有限。 SEC 考虑了来自一系列一线 ERP 供应商的解决方案和基于 SharePoint 的解决方案，但这些解决方案要么缺乏 SEC 所需的功能，要么开发和维护成本太高。
关于客户
沙特电力公司（SEC）是中东和北非最大的电力供应商。该公司拥有价值超过 4800 亿沙特里亚尔（1280 亿美元）的资产，为超过 980 万客户提供服务。其设施遍布沙特阿拉伯 830,000 平方英里（2,150,000 平方公里），这使得管理由承包商而不是全职员工负责的施工和维护项目成为一项挑战。考虑到 SEC 的庞大足迹以及对其运营进行高效管理的需求，流程现代化是 SEC 的首要任务。
解决方案
SEC 采用了 Nintex 的一套智能自动化解决方案，开启了数字化转型之旅。其中包括 Nintex Workflow、Nintex Forms 和 Nintex Mobile，它们用于创建承包商门户、违规控制系统、维护管理系统、员工投诉系统和智能计量项目。承包商门户允许承包商和 SEC 经理与各种业务流程进行交互，包括项目修改、材料请求和工作许可。它还包括承包商人员、SEC 现场主管和后台经理的具体工作流程和任务。典型的施工任务流程是从 SEC 调度员向承包商提交工单开始的，然后承包商将访问现场，验证工单详细信息，并开始挖掘和安装设备。然后，SEC 检查员将检查正在进行的工作，完成后，该工作将被标记为已完成。

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.

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.

IoT based Energy Quality Availability Monitoring Solution
There were several challenges faced:Since this data would be in the public domain, accuracy and authenticity of this data were of paramount importance. It should be able to withstand scrutiny.It is challenging to build an appliance that can withstand a wide range of voltage fluctuations from as low at 90v to as high as 320v. Since the device would be installed in remote locations, its resilience was of paramount importance.The device would have to deal with poor network coverage and have the ability to store and re-transmit data if networks were not available, which is often the case in rural India. The device could store up to 30 days of data.The platform that deals with the data should be readily available and highly reliable and never lose a packet of data.
