Riverside Public Utilities serves electric power and
water to 324,000 southern California residents east
of Los Angeles. As a municipal water utility, Riverside
has a lot of monitoring and reporting responsibilities.
Before integrating its various data sources, Riverside
staff spent a lot of time creating daily reports, and by
the time they were created, the reports were a day old.
By collecting and contextualizing its data in AVEVA PI
System, Riverside was able to automate reporting while
also making it more accurate and timely. The company
is using AVEVA PI System to support both water and
power operations, and GIS integration to map and
display real-time digital data

Stedin provides power to the largest cities in the
Netherlands, serving more than 4 million customers.
Like many energy companies, it wanted to increase
efficiency without compromising sustainability. Stedin
accomplished that goal by adopting the International
Electrotechnical Commission’s standard 61850, which
establishes an Ethernet-based international standard
for communication in power generation facilities
and substations. Stedin used the PI System and a
custom PI Connector to connect its infrastructure
with substations that received the upgrades needed
for 61850 compliance. As a result, the company met
the international standards while improving its asset
visibility and moving toward its goal of real-time
asset management.

When your company’s survival depends on understanding and responding to market prices that change every few minutes, having access to real-time data is critical. Lacking this access, the owners of the Scrubgrass Generating Plant, a 35-employee, 85-megawatt waste-coal-fired power plant in Kennerdell, Pennsylvania, were on the verge of closing the plant. The two-month lag in the availability of profit/loss data made it impossible for plant operators to make real-time daily operating decisions. In a bid to keep the company afloat, Scrubgrass chose to invest in real-time data. It turned to the PI System.
