关于客户
Evergy 是一家公用事业公司，总部位于密苏里州堪萨斯城。他们负责为密苏里州和堪萨斯州的 160 万客户提供公用事业服务。他们的服务经常受到恶劣天气条件的干扰，例如大风、冰、雪和酷热。这些中断可能导致停电、缺水和服务中断。为了应对这些挑战，Evergy 依靠 Tomorrow.io 的天气和气候安全平台。该平台为他们提供准确的天气预报，使他们能够做出明智的决策并确保服务的顺利运行。
挑战
公用事业公司经常因恶劣的天气条件而面临中断。大风会损坏电线，导致数千名客户停电。冰雪会导致管道爆裂，导致缺水。极端高温会对气体系统造成压力，导致服务中断。大多数公司依靠脱节的系统和手动流程的组合来应对这些危险情况。然而，对于负责密苏里州和堪萨斯州 160 万客户的公用事业公司 Evergy 来说，这种方法还不够。他们需要一个更可靠、集中的解决方案来应对天气干扰并确保其服务顺利运行。
解决方案
Evergy 求助于 Tomorrow.io 的天气和气候安全平台，以在整个服务区域保持领先的天气状况，尤其是极端天气状况。该平台提供准确的天气预报，使 Evergy 能够就风暴恢复和其他天气相关问题做出明智的决策。 Evergy 的应急响应经理 Carol Baxter 使用 Tomorrow.io 的平台持续监控传入情况。这使她能够了解这些条件如何影响不同地点的电力接入。 Tomorrow.io 提供的天气情报对于 Evergy 至关重要，因为它使他们能够预测有影响的天气并提前采取必要的行动。

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.

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.
