挑战
现代电网带来了新的工程挑战。在英国，随着可再生能源被用于补充化石燃料生产，电能质量问题正在浮出水面。再加上快速增长的能源需求和化石燃料工厂的退役，电网运营商发现传统的测量系统无法提供足够的覆盖范围来应对这些新挑战和管理行业面临的新风险。
解决方案
知道无法解决无法测量的问题，英国国家电网采用了一个基于 CompactRIO 系统的平台，该平台可以提供更多测量，并适应未来几代人不断发展的电网。这个互联网络包括 136 个系统，其中 110 个永久安装在英格兰和威尔士的变电站中，26 个便携式单元根据需要提供移动现场覆盖。在两个版本上运行的软件应用程序是相同的，从而最大限度地减少了对系统集成、培训和支持的影响。英国国家电网选择 NI 平台来开发一个灵活、强大且连接的测量系统，该系统能够收集和分析大量数据，以更好地检测电网范围内的趋势。与现有基础设施相比，实施更智能、更互联的系统使英国国家电网能够管理变化、优化能源并为未来电网规划。借助开放、灵活、软件设计的仪器，英国国家电网的工程师可以定制可用于电网运行的信息，并根据需求的变化轻松进行升级。这种方法提高了电网监控和可靠性，同时减少了所需的设备数量。此外，借助 CompactRIO 的先进处理能力，英国国家电网可以轻松维护其连接系统网络并将智能推送到电网中，将大量原始数据转化为有用信息，为数百万企业和家庭提供照明整个英国。

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.

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.
