Success Stories
Renewables
Rapid urbanization, climate change and growing demand of more energy in general are putting a strain on energy generation, transportation as well as distribution. AVEVA solutions for renewable power generation are built on leading industrial data management software to optimize your core processes.
Challenges
Dominion’s SCADA historian was growing in size and complexity
Thousands of new assets come online or get retired weekly
Disparate business functions led to inconsistent and difficult-to-access data
Results
Data shared in real time and integrated into Dominion’s activities.
Identified and prevented 42 potential equipment failures in just one year.
Data sharing increased the speed-to-market of vital environmental data by 50%.
Software
-
Deployed AVEVA™ PI System™ to create a cloud-enabled unified asset environment as a single source of truth.
-
AVEVA PI Vision display helps engineers monitor and manage daily peaks and analyze historical daily peaks.
-
CONNECT to aggregate data and to share generation data, allowing its customers to verify the power was sustainably sourced and to claim green power incentives.
Asset framework is an investment in our ability to innovate. And it’s been one that’s paid dividends.

Challenges
Geographic dispersion of the company’s power generation sites throughout Spain, Italy, and the Mideast.
Reduce field operations maintenance costs by minimizing manual supervision of plant operations.
9REN required a solution that could easily scale with the projected installation of new renewable energy facilities in new regions.
Results
Increase event recognition by 50% and boost the solar tracking capabilities of the photovoltaic systems by 5%.
9REN has improved the availability of this system using the very
reliable solution from AVEVA.
AVEVA also helped improve the monitoring report performance, reducing the time it takes to produce the reports from one month to two days.
Software
-
Deployed AVEVA™ System Platform as SCADA and to bring together the assets.
-
AVEVA™ Historian to aggregate real-time data as well as local dashboarding.
Given the scattered nature of 9REN’s installations and the diversity of existing systems, it would have been very costly and difficult to make changes in real time using the prior system
