Fresno, California

- USA

•The success of the department’s video police

unit has since spurred law enforcement officials

to quadruple its force of cameras to cover more

than 70% of the city’s sprawling 104.8-square-

miles, which was made easy by the unlimited

scalability of the Endura system.

•More than 110 cameras have been placed

strategically throughout the city based on crime

statistics or where identified gang members

congregate, drug dealing is believed to occur or

where there are potential targets for property

crimes such as vehicle burglary and vandalism.

•Technologies like the window-blanking feature

that comes standard on Spectra cameras, multi-

level password and user permissions

management all helped to appease concerns.



Impact

& key benefits

Shantou, China

•Water distribution system: Intuitive real

time water network management (AQUIS

Operation 3.1 by 7T) helps Shantou

Water Supply Company optimise water

consumption for the area with 1.4 M

inhabitants.



Impact

& key benefits

•Solutions have provided SWSC with an

intuitive way to understand their network in

real-time. To optimize the production planning

the tool Load Forecaster has been utilized.

Simulation results such as flow, flow direction,

and pressure in key locations has improved

the service quality. AQUIS Operation helps

SWSC acknowledge the existence of a

leakage and gives an idea of how much of the

NRW comes from theft of water and how

much from background leakage. It also

enables SWSC to better locate the leaks.

This has eased the task of field detection.


Zunyi, China

•Telvent OASyS SCADA and ADMS:

Zunyi Power is managed by Guizhou

Power, which recently chose Telvent’s

distribution management system (DMS)

for all of its provincial cities, including

Zunyi City. Zunyi Power elected to add

Telvent’s SCADA system to its ADMS in

order to instantly receive reliable

information and analysis from the field.



Impact

& key benefits

•Zunyi Power will now have a robust

Advanced Distribution Management System

tool to serve as the foundation for its smart

grid efforts and support the planning,

operation and analysis of its distribution

system.


Guiyang, China

•Telvent OASyS SCADA: Telvent’s

SCADA system presents critical data

through an intuitive interface that

seamlessly integrates with Guiyang

Power’s current software. It will collect

data from substation and demand

transmission units and forward real-time

information to the ADMS system for

analysis.



Impact

& key benefits

•Key benefit of this ADMS includes the ability

to solve service disruptions faster by quickly

locating the incident, isolating it and providing

recommendations on how best to restore the

power supply – all through a dispatcher’s

remote control commands to field devices

rather than through a manual procedure. The

ADMS will also help Guiyang Power curb

energy loss by moving power already on the

grid to the appropriate areas, rather than

signaling a need to generate additional

energy.


Guizhou province

(9 cities), China

•Telvent Smart Grid DMS: Based on the

success of a previous pilot project,

Telvent will now provide its Distribution

Management System (DMS) to Guizhou

Power’s entire service territory. With the

expanded use of DMS, Guizhou Power

will have the ability to integrate and

display data using a single system that

provides real-time advanced distribution

information and more accurate

calculations for planning a smarter grid.



Impact

& key benefits

•Thanks to this single-source of data, the

state-owned utility will save on costs typically

needed for additional software and systems.

Guizhou Power will also have the ability to

share critical data more easily among

departments, increasing operational

efficiencies and providing a more stable

power supply for its 40 million residents.
