ENERGY Sector Use Cases
Core Focus Areas
- Power generation
- Transmission and distribution
- SCADA & OT (Operational Technology) systems
- Field equipment
- Regulations & SLAs
Scenario 1: SCADA Visibility and Data Integrity
The SCADA system appears to be open and operational with no visible problems, but:
- Data is arriving with significant delays
- Sensor data has become asynchronous
- The operations team may realize the actual situation too late
Proposed Solution: By monitoring the actual data flow, latency, packet loss, and abnormal data trends can be identified.
Scenario 2: Infrastructure Health and Heat Mapping
Transformers may experience overheating due to regional voltage fluctuations. Proposed Solution:
- Ensure all transformers and field devices are gathered on a single map.
- Monitor heat, voltage, and connection anomalies on this map to mark problematic areas.
Scenario 3: Regulation Compliance and SLA Reporting
This involves SLA reporting for audits within the scope of regulations. Key questions include:
- How many outages occurred in the last 6 months?
- What are the intervention (response) times?
- Which regions are chronic for issues?
The Output: Automated outage and SLA reports, along with analysis data based on region, transformer, and time, can be reported to answer these questions.
