12 assists water utilities in utilising data to optimise network performance key features for a full performance software Dashboard for hydraulic and water quality performance with indicators based on NRW, flow, pressure or quality parameters Derives optimization schedules from actual operational data, current set-points/constraints and available equipment (updated every 10 minutes) together with water demand forecasts (updated every 30 minutes) and powerful mathematical calculation techniques. SUEZ presents AQUADVANCED Water Networks, a system that enables utilities to remotely and continuously monitor their drinking water networks to improve overall operational efficiency and deliver service excellence An innovative solution that helps to: AQUADVANCED Energy is one of a suite of advanced solution tools from SUEZ and uses the available network data to calculate & implement optimized operating schedules for water production and distribution. The AQUADVANCED Energy software: Submits updated schedules to the existing supervisory (SCADA) system every 30 minutes (or when specifically requested by an operator) only after the schedules have been verified as robust by an internal hydraulic model running an extended period simulation. Initiates individual control actions either in a closed loop automatic mode, advisory manual mode or a mix of both. This flexible software solution is equally applicable to: Monitor the water network in real time to ensure operation reliability Save water resources and track water quality Reduce operational costs Provide enhanced decision support Optimizing complete water networks from raw water sources to end pressure zones, or; Optimizing technologies Individual parts of the cycle including wholesale providers, bulk water transmission, municipal distribution and even recycled water networks. for operational efficiency, public safety and environmental protection SUEZ presents AQUADVANCED Urban Drainage, a software suite for daily sewer system management, flood prevention, environmental protection, optimization of wastewater operations and asset performance Amodular software suite geared to meet your specific needs: Monitor sewerage system operations Control quality of river and bathing waters and preserve the environment Anticipate flood risks Manage stormwater and sewer efficiently Reduce capital investment unique features, of the software Global map-integrated view of the water production and distribution system with hydraulic data in near real-time, key performance indicators and alerts Water demand forecasts updated every 30 minutes Management of energy cost constraints to maximize the use of off-peak electricity periods, handle electricity demand charges, time-of-use charges and real-time electric tariff rates Live updating of energy tariffs through connection to local energy market trading system Real-time optimization of pumping schedules responding immediately to planned and unplanned changes, from maintenance to water demand Holistic solution that looks at the entire distribution network with all its constraints to find overall lowest cost including raw water, treatment and distribution Daily support to operations by scheduling around planed maintenance of plants and pumps Water quality management through enforcement of tank cycling, volume turnover and blending strategies Future proofing the operations team by assisting with effective & efficient operation, providing off-line training and capturing best-in-class operational knowledge Fully automatic operations with optimized set-points, pump controls and production plans sent directly to the SCADA control system Simulation module to assess the benefits of alternative operating strategies, impact of planned maintenance or planned network changes AQUADVANCED Water Networks TAKEACTION FROM COMPLEX DATA EMPOWER YOUR DECISION-MAKING SCADA, sensors, GIS, data historian, smart meters, Workforce Management, CRM, Managing drinking water networks efficiently requires massive processing of data coming from multiple sources and systems. AQUADAVANCED Water Networks gathers and analyses all this data to turn it into valuable decision-making support through a user friendly interface Map-integrated display of key information Real time dashboard with collected data and calculated indicators Event management using advanced statistical models Dedicated views for detailed hydraulic and quality deep analyses AQUADVANCED Urban Drainage Ensure optimal and transparent management of sewer and stormwater systems through: Detailed and continuous overview of your infrastructure and geographical follow-up of network operations Energy monitoring Alerts and analytics to help operator decide and minimize risk during crisis situations Weather forecast with real-time calculation of rainfall impact on sewerage system, city and receiving waters Optimized management strategies to ensure the best use of storage capacities while preventing flooding and polluted overflows AQUADVANCED Water Networks is a modular solution that adapts to the conditions of all types of networks. Depending on the operational objectives and on existing management systems, the solution can be easily enhanced with additional functions The core system provides highly effective features for hydraulic and water quality monitoring including advanced event detection and detailed analysis views Furthers options offer a connection to existing Advanced Metering Infrastructure (smart meters), model-based functions using client's defined hydraulic model of the network, connection to customer complaints and field work systems, acoustic analysis view for acoustic data loggers, AQUADVANCED Urban Drainage is a real-time software composed of 3 modules ranging from monitoring and events prediction to automatic control of the entire sewer and stormwater systems: Monitoring Module: Follows-up the whole system in terms of operations, hydraulics and quality of receiving waters by visualizing real-time measures and computed Key Performance Indicators, weather information, energy consumption and geographical display of ongoing operations. Early Warning Module: Models and predicts the impacts on natural environment or sewerage system to prevent and manage flooding risks in urban areas or pollution to rivers and coastal waters.
