"Seconds add up to minutes, minutes impacts someone's life." This was my team's motto in Afghanistan. How we managed assets to variations in combat impacted the outcomes. In mining, seconds still add to minutes, and minutes equal revenue. Lessons learned managing Regional Command East in Afghanistan are relevant to supporting mining information to protect and enhance our teams.

Icing Prediction on Blade Wind Turbine Using Forecast Data

2:30 PM - 3:00 PM

2:30 PM

3:00 PM

Nergica is an applied research center in renewable energies. One of the main topics is the study of the impact of icing on wind turbines. Indeed, ice accretion on blade wind turbine is one of the main power losses when their are installed in cold climate such as in Canada. Hopefully, wind turbine are now more and more equipped of deicing system such as hot air system or electrical heater directly installed in the blade. But, to activate these system, it needs to detect icing on the blades which is then most of the time too late. Then, predicting ice accretion using meteorological models would help preventing ice accretion, starting the heating system prior to the event coming.

From Paper-Based Processes to a Digital & Connected Utility

2:30 PM - 3:00 PM

2:30 PM

3:00 PM

The utility industry has historically been fairly rigid in practice and has prioritized stability over agility. As long as the utility delivered power and water to our customers, with little interruption to services, it was considered to be doing its job. However, as the economy, environment and consumer demands change – the utility is being forced to change as well. A hundred years ago the “Amazons” and “Googles” of the world did not exist, technology did not dictate so much of our day-to-day lives, and operating in a vacuum was the norm. Today, technology is an expectation, innovation happens every day and having what you want, when you want and how you want it is the new norm. Riverside Public Utilities (RPU) understood that it needed to better position itself to meet new industry expectations and PI was the solution. Through the PI System, RPU transitioned from paper-based and people dependent processes to a digital and connected utility.

Correlating Photovoltaic Power with Irradiance using Operational Machine Learning

3:15 PM - 3:45 PM

3:15 PM

3:45 PM

As photovoltaic (PV) capacity increases, variability in the power generated by PV becomes an ever larger contributor to the quality and stability of the electric grid. Managing PV plant variability while maintaining standards of reliability requires a clear understanding and ability to predict PV output. To manage its photovoltaic arrays, EDP requires a real-time prediction of PV power output as irradiance changes. To create a scalable solution, a system is needed that does not require the assistance of data scientists but rather enables the business unit domain experts to make these predictions and to do so in a real-time operating environment. In a less than three weeks, using a cloud version of Falkonry's automated machine learning system with data from a PI system, a remote team from EDP created a model that accurately predicts PV power output as a function of irradiance.

How eBay is implementing a “Cockpit” view of its Data Centers

5:00 PM - 5:30 PM

5:00 PM

5:30 PM

The presentation will discuss how eBay is implementing a integrated view of its OT and IT operations and how the various pieces integrate with the business. Key points: • Scale and the need to automate various processes and its positive impact on operations. • Reduce thousands of AF Templates to a manageable handful using analysis to manage equipment variance • How leveraging Datacenter Clarity LC® and PI as a key operational and capacity forecasting cockpit has significantly enhanced business visibility into the current real-time and future allocations of the data center. • View the future of “automating a datacenter” and the role that Machine Learning/AI plays in that future. The talk describes how the current integration of the PI System’s capabilities (AF and EF) when integrated with DC Clarity is providing a real-time/360 view of data centers. Which is providing improved resiliency, availability, real utilization, and enhanced visibility to fully integrate the DC with the Business Process

Creating a KPI Template for Brownstock Washers

9:00 AM - 9:30 AM

9:00 AM

9:30 AM

Investigations into the operational performance of our brownstock washing systems lead to a need to develop a common PI System based display that could be used for the 20+ rotary vacuum drum washer lines in our chemical pulp mills. Several objectives were defined. Firstly, this effort helped to define the KPIs of value to track. Secondly, by creating a template of common KPIs we could minimize the rework at our chemical mill sites. Thirdly, once completed we could use these KPIs to benchmark performance against the other vacuum drum washer lines in our mills. A multi-layered hierarchy was defined for users from operators to General Managers. A small team consisting of representatives from mill operations, IT, and corporate technical resources as well as 2 OSIsoft engineers was assembled and in a period of 2 working days we defined the necessary roadmap to begin work. The final product is complete and ready to roll out to the other mills. The steps taken to see this to completion are discussed.

The Peñasquito Mine is the sixth largest silver mine in the world and the largest gold mine in Mexico based on 2016 production numbers. It is a cornerstone asset for its owner Goldcorp. Although considered to be a world class mining asset, Peñasquito was underperforming operationally and in 2017 under new leadership a series of ambitious initiatives were undertaken. One of these key initiatives started in 2017 was the OSIsoft PI Enterprise Agreement, sponsored by Goldcorp’s Corporate Technology group. Of the several initiatives undertaken, the most impactful one was aimed to enhance Metal Recovery. A Dynamic Simulator was created, calculated through PI Performance Equations and displayed through PI Coresight, that provided “closed-loop” feedback to the operator on where they should be in terms of Metal Recovery. The results after only 6 months of implementation have surpassed expectations and provided revolutionary changes on how the Flotation circuit is now operated.

Biologists Spring into Action

9:00 AM - 9:30 AM

9:00 AM

9:30 AM

Wastewater processing is a big issue –75 Million gallons per day big- for the San Francisco PUC. Every single gallon must get treated and released. What happens when permitted and un-permitted wastewater discharges occur? How will people be notified? How quickly can biologists investigate, beaches get posted and us, the public, get notified? Biologists get very quick notifications and have detailed information they need 24/7/365 because Max Chung and the Waste Water Engineers designed a multi-level alarming system. When PI AF detects a collection system discharge, our biologists receive a text message on their smart phone which ensures that they are notified of a critical incident. A detailed PI System email message with exact descriptions of the issue is included in the message sent to their smart phone. The biologists then coordinate responses while they are off-site without needing a laptop or visiting the plant. The result is a much quicker beach posting and sampling of collection division discharges into receiving waters. The business impact is keeping people safe. Responding quickly to a waste water discharge, which occur during severe weather conditions when repair crews are stressed, is valuable. This paper illustrates the tremendously positive impact the PI System has on public safety and consumer confidence in government and technology.

9:00 AM - 9:30 AM

9:00 AM

9:30 AM

Old Dominion Electric Cooperative generates power from a mixed fleet of natural gas, coal, nuclear, and renewable facilities some operated by partners. In 2015, ODEC's VP of Operations challenged the IT Department to develop a unified view of all facilities that could be accessed anytime, anywhere. Based on prior experience with the PI System, ODEC initiated a project to determine if an updated and expanded PI System could meet this need. After conducting a successful proof-of-concept workshop, ODEC signed an Enterprise Agreement with OSIsoft in December 2015, and within six months, the ODEC team, working with their EA support team, redesigned and deployed their PI System architecture, initiated data collection from their partner operated facilities, and developed Electra, a portal and dashboard that meets the needs of all ODEC departments. Come listen as the ODEC PI System team describes how they were able to accomplish so much in a limited time with only a few part time resources allocated to the project.

The Journey Begins - PI System and DCP's Digital Transformation

9:45 AM - 10:30 AM

9:45 AM

10:30 AM

A foundation of DCP’s digital transformation is having rapid, near real time, accurate, meaningful and complete data with context. An important part of this capability is provided by a company-wide PI system that was deployed in 2017. Change has been rapid, with DCP moving from no centralized means of collecting and using operational data to having 28 gas plant, 500 compressor stations (and their associated gathering systems), and the company’s major interstate pipelines connected to the PI system in 10 months. In parallel with deployment, DCP has put PI to use, building products that support the improved business processes and organizational changes. Two examples of these efforts are our Plant Views (optimizing cryo plant operation) and Compression Health Monitoring (focused on condition-based maintenance). In addition to business benefits totaling >$5MM in 2017, access to near real time data from all parts of our company is central to the effectiveness of a newly established ICC.

Avista has deployed a variety of automated and advanced metering systems over the past 15 years. In Q3 of 2018, Avista will begin deployment of the latest Itron Riva AMI technology across its Washington service territory. As these metering systems have matured the data associated with the meters has continued to grow. A typical AMI solution incorporates a Meter Data Management (MDM) system to handle the large volume of data for billing and customer presentation purposes. Typically, MDM systems are not focused on operational needs and don’t easily integrate with more traditional operational systems. Avista’s partnership with OSIsoft and the PI System has demonstrated that is a robust solution that is required to achieve the benefits associated with the CVR component of the AMI project. The initial work has provided a foundation for future enhancements that will be focused on deploying field tools for high bill complaints, transformer loading, and meter troubleshooting.

11:30 AM

Companies are beginning to see operational data as an asset. However, operational data comes from multiple control systems, IoT solutions and manual entry. Data rates vary from sub-second to monthly values. There are few standards to label the data points or provide context. Access all available operational data points can be a daunting challenge. PI Asset Framework (AF) has changed that. Our presentation will discuss how the PI System can become the foundation that provides trusted operational data to all. We will show examples of secure, seamless interactions crossing the OT/IT boundary many times providing various user communities with the information they require, in the form they need to support and optimize operations. Nutrien has leveraged this capability in their potash operations. Bob McIntyre will explain how they are now leveraging PI AF to integrate key business systems with operational data in the PI System to address their Operation’s needs.

The AMI rollouts over the past decade have replaced almost 50% the 170M scalar meters in the US with digital meters capable of recording multiple measurements and events in sub-hourly intervals. Yet, to date, there are no scalable AMI data solutions that have operationalized the data from these millions of IoT devices. As Ameren nears completion of their AMI deployment, the focus has turned towards how best to operationalize this valuable spatial and temporal data to provide operators with near-real time situational awareness. Working with PowerRunner and OSIsoft, Ameren is building the foundations of an operational data platform in which AMI data is pulled directly from AMI headends into the PI System, joined with SCADA data and presented to the enterprise through the PowerRunner Energy Platform. By reducing AMI data latency and operationalizing this critical data, utilities will be better prepared to manage the bi-directional power flow introduced by DER and ensure system fidelity.

One component of our “Mill of the Future” is our advanced data analytics work where we will utilize process and final quality data to better understand and optimize our processes from digesting wood through the final paper production. The original machine learning request was for up to 10,000 process input points for 3-5 years. These decision support and machine learning tools outstripped our existing extraction and analysis techniques which forced a methodology change from PI Datalink spreadsheets to OLEDB extractions to business intelligence tools.

New Approach to SCADA at Solar Farms

3:15 PM

In 2017 Sempra Renewables added a 200 MW solar facility in Fresno County, CA to their portfolio. Known as Great Valley Solar, the project is made up of 4 unique sites that tie into a common point of interconnection (POI). The existing SCADA for the site consists of PLCs and an HMI. It controls eighty-two (82) 2500kW inverters for the 4 independent solar sites with 5 sets of SCADA. The SCADA was initially designed for 4 independent sites which are physically separate from one another. The challenge was to converge all sites as one. Trying to control voltage at the POI requires a unique understanding of voltage interaction among the 4 sites; without a good understanding, the site risked circular Var flow from site to site and would not affect the POI as desired. The solution was to leverage the OSIsoft PI System and PXiSE, an advanced grid control technology, to deploy a solar advanced-SCADA platform.

We came up with a process and solution to help answer both of the questions above. We are currently testing and working to implement the solution in the next few months. Its been an rollercoaster of a journey but we are finally starting to see a finish line.

Deploying IIoT across Private-LTE for Industrial/Utility Assets

4:00 PM - 4:45 PM

4:00 PM

4:45 PM

Modern wind farms feature large multi-megawatt turbines deployed in remote locations. Typically these wind turbines are controlled and managed by a fiber-optic network enabled SCADA system. However not all critical data from the turbines is made available to satisfy performance engineering issues. Working with Sempra in their large wind farm in USA, SenseOps, OSIsoft, Qualcomm and Nokia have engineered and deployed an Industrial IoT solution uptower in the turbines, transmitting high speed data across a private-LTE network to the owner’s on premise PI System. In addition to the IIoT data coming across the LTE network, the on premise PI system is acquiring all data from the local SCADA system, aggregating and correlating the IIoT/SCADA data at the local level. The on premise PI system shares this data with the SenseOps hosted PI system running in the Google Cloud Platform. From there, authorized users use the PI Vision tools to identify turbines showing signs of machine failures.

Seeq is an advanced analytical application fully integrated with the PI Data Archive and PI Asset Framework. Seeq delivers a hybrid approach to analytics, easily combining first principals, statistics, and machine learning. Seeq’s approach brings self-service analytics for engineers and scientists, collaboration and knowledge capture for teams, and publishing and real time views for managers and operators. In this presentation Seeq will explain and demonstrate the value-adding analytical capabilities through 2 use cases: • Predictive maintenance of heat exchangers. This use leverages ML techniques to create heat exchanger fouling model. The model is used to optimize maintenance schedules. The asset-swapping capabilities of PI Asset Framework are leveraged to scale one model to many heat exchangers. • Reliability in Upstream O&G Equipment. Upstream oil collection systems have emergency shutdown systems to protect against damage. When the trip activates, rapid valve closure causes water hammering, which in turn cases mechanical damage to the system, vessels and/or cause relief valves or rupture disks to blow, with safety, reliability, and environmental impacts. The goal is to detect when it occurs, and eliminate the problem longer term. Both use cases will be presented via a live demonstration showing the creation of the analyses as well as the key visual elements such as histograms and unique trending.

Extreme PI System Hardening

10:30 AM - 12:15 PM

10:30 AM

12:15 PM

"High value systems warrant hardcore hardening measures. The PI System resides at a critical junction, communicating across strict network boundaries. Under this paradigm, the PI System acts as a 'safe harbor' for data, defending critical systems by reducing the number of users inside the security perimeter while enabling growth in the number of users getting value from OT data. An application can only be as secure as its operating platform, so this session will start from the ground up. We will establish a solid foundation with advanced hardening measures for the Windows operating system that OSIsoft has collected over many years working with the platform, such as security baselines, PowerShell’s Desired State Configuration, and arcane corners of the Windows Advanced Firewall. With the platform locked down, we will explore application hardening measures built within and tailored to the PI System. Emphasis will be on using the latest technology and tools available to embrace agility and configuration as code. Examples from session demos will be available on GitHub for administrators who want try them at home."
