ENHANCING WATER METER IN-SERVICE TESTING AND REPLACEMENT DECISIONS

Optimal Replacement Decisions

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Enhancing Observability in Distribution Grids using Smart Meter Data

Due to limited metering infrastructure, distribution grids are currently challenged by observability issues. On the other hand, smart meter data, including local voltage magnitudes and power injections, are communicated to the utility operator from grid buses with renewable generation and demand-response programs. This work employs grid data from metered buses towards inferring the underlying g...

Replacement Decisions for Evolving Software

E-type software, software implementing real world computer applications, must be continually evolved to maintain user satisfaction, generally over several years and releases. It is likely that the responsible organisation will, sooner or later, consider its replacement through redevelopment or acquisition. This paper discusses elements believed to be relevant in the context of replacement decis...

Meter Data Analytics—Enabling Actionable Decisions to Derive Business Value from Smart Meter Data

A utility’s meter data is a valuable asset that can be daunting to leverage. Consider that one household or premise can produce over 35,000 rows of information, consisting of over 8 MB of data per year. Thirty thousand meters collecting fifteen-minute-interval data with forty variables equates to 1.2 billion rows of data. Using SAS® Visual Analytics, we provide examples of leveraging smart mete...
