关于客户
Basin Electric Power Cooperative 是美国最大的发电和输电合作社之一。该组织是非营利性的，由其 138 个成员系统所有，这些系统共同为分布在北达科他州至新墨西哥州的九个州的 280 万农村消费者提供服务。该公司面临着数据管理方面的挑战，因为数据存储在多个系统、电子表格和人们的头脑中。这给决策带来了困难，因为数据没有单一的真实来源。该公司认识到需要更复杂的分析解决方案来提高其报告流程的准确性和及时性。
挑战
贝辛电力合作社是美国最大的发电和输电合作社之一，在数据管理方面遇到了困难。该公司的数据保存在数十个系统、电子表格和人员的头脑中，很难做出明智的决策。该公司认识到，对复杂手动流程的依赖对业务构成了严重风险。在战略会议上，员工经常无法就他们要分析的数字达成一致。他们花费了太多时间试图确定哪个系统、电子表格或专家真正拥有有关特定问题的正确信息 - 这种缺乏可见性阻碍了组织做出明智决策的能力。
解决方案
Basin Electric 决定利用 IBM 分析技术的强大功能来提高其报告流程的准确性和及时性。该公司部署了 IBM Cognos 软件作为业务分析的集中、受控和一致的平台。该组织最初部署了 IBM Cognos Business Intelligence 来支持其预算流程，随后扩展了该解决方案以取代几乎所有业务部门的基于电子表格的报告。后来，Basin Electric 还部署了 IBM Cognos Planning 以进一步增强预算流程并消除另一大组电子表格。Cognos 解决方案直接从 Basin Electric 的核心系统中提取数据进行分析，确保始终根据最新的交易数据执行计算。

IoT Solutions for Smart City | Internet of Things Case Study
There were several challenges faced: 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.

Automation of the Oguz-Gabala-Baku water pipeline, Azerbaijan
The Oguz-Gabala-Baku water pipeline project dates back to plans from the 1970’s. Baku’s growth was historically driven by the booming oil industry and required the import of drinking water from outside of the city. Before the construction of the pipeline, some 60 percent of the city’s households received water for only a few hours daily. After completion of the project, 75 percent of the two million Baku residents are now served around the clock with potable water, based on World Health Organization (WHO) standards. The 262-kilometer pipeline requires no pumping station, but uses the altitude differences between the Caucasian mountains and the capital to supply 432,000 m³/d to the Ceyranbatan water reservoir. To the people of Baku, the pipeline is “the most important project not only in 2010, but of the last 20 years.”

GPRS Mobile Network for Smart Metering
Around the world, the electricity supply industry is turning to ‘smart’ meters to lower costs, reduce emissions and improve the management of customer supplies. Smart meters collect detailed consumption information and using this feedback consumers can better understand their energy usage which in turn enables them to modify their consumption to save money and help to cut carbon emissions. A smart meter can be defined in many ways, but generally includes an element of two-way communication between the household meter and the utility provider to efficiently collect detailed energy usage data. Some implementations include consumer feedback beyond the energy bill to include online web data, SMS text messages or an information display in consumers’ premises. Providing a cost-effective, reliable communications mechanism is one of the most challenging aspects of a smart meter implementation. In New Zealand, the utilities have embraced smart metering and designed cost effective ways for it to be implemented. The New Zealand government has encouraged such a move to smart metering by ensuring the energy legislation is consistent with the delivery of benefits to the consumer while allowing innovation in this area. On the ground, AMS is a leader in the deployment of smart metering and associated services. Several of New Zealand’s energy retailers were looking for smart metering services for their residential and small business customers which will eventually account for over 500,000 meters when the multi-year national deployment program is concluded. To respond to these requirements, AMS needed to put together a solution that included data communications between each meter and the central data collection point and the solution proposed by Vodafone satisfied that requirement.

NB-IoT connected smart meters to improve gas metering in Shenzhen
Shenzhen Gas has a large fleet of existing gas meters, which are installed in a variety of hard to reach locations, such as indoors and underground, meaning that existing communications networks have struggled to maintain connectivity with all meters. The meter success rate is low, data transmissions are so far unstable and power consumption is too high. Against this background, Shenzhen Gas, China Telecom, Huawei, and Goldcard have jointly trialed NB-IoT gas meters to try and solve some of the challenges that the industry faces with today’s smart gas meters.

British Gas Modernizes its Operations with Innovative Smart Metering Deployment
The UK government has mandated that smart meters are rolled out as standard across Great Britain by end of 2020, and this roll-out is estimated to create £14 billion in net benefits to the UK in consumer energy savings and lower energy generation demand, according to the Oxford Economics report, “The Value of Smart Metering to Great Britain.” While smart-metering systems have been deployed in many countries, the roll-out in Great Britain is unique because it is led by energy retailers, who have responsibility for the Electricity and Gas meters. The decision to have a retailer-led roll out was made by DECC (Department of Energy and Climate Change) to improve customer experience and drive consumer benefits. It has also led to some unique system-level requirements to support the unique local regulatory model.
