AVEVA Historian

Results
A single and integrated business view and control of Rand Water’s extensive network assets through the integration of its insular control systems

Background
Established in 1903, Rand Water is the largest water utility in Africa, delivering on average 3.5 million tons (3500 million litres) of some of the purest drinking water in the world to approximately 11 million people every day through local authorities, large industries and mines. The success of such an operation depends on the smooth running of a vast distribution network spanning 18 000 km2 plus 13 000 km2 of which is shared with other water utilities. With an annual turnover of more than R3 billion and assets in excess of R5 billion, customer satisfaction through the effective management, control and utilisation of its water delivery infrastructure is top of the agenda at Rand Water.

The Rand Water network consists of 2 major water treatment sites, 13 booster pumping stations, 3000 km of pipelines, 32 storage reservoirs and approximately 1500 customer meters (e.g. municipalities).

This network is supervised by a wide range of control systems including a variety of PLCs, SCADA systems, meters as well as a diverse range of data networks and protocols.

Rand Water’s province-sized “shop floor” required an approach that would help it integrate control and collate information in order to optimise the use of existing assets and streamline infrastructure utilisation. The time had come to aggregate the information from the distributed databases and to make this information available to operational management for monitoring the whole operation of bulk water supply throughout Rand Water’s network at a glance. This was the start of the ArchestrA-based Rand Water Control Centre project.

The project goals include:

• Remote measurement of mission-critical variables such as water flow and quantity, pH, turbidity, chlorine levels, conductivity, reservoir levels and pipeline pressures.
• Calculation of water balances in order to assist with the identification of problem areas, faulty instruments as well as the calculation of the network’s efficiency in future.
• Central monitoring of water quantity and quality
• Central overview / dashboard of operations
• Central alarming and reporting
• Integration of a variety of disparate systems
• Linking up systems and meters not yet on the LAN/WAN

‘Due to its scope, the Control Centre project is more of a journey rather than a project,’ says Les Lange of Rand Water. ‘What appealed to us about Wonderware’s ArchestrA, was that it provided the “Galaxy” concept for the unification of networks and information repositories through a single transparent tag name database. Although they are geographically distributed over the whole of Gauteng and beyond, we can now treat all our sites as a single entity or Galaxy. This will eliminate islands of information and present us with a unified and centralised information repository that is available to all. This approach is also leading to an easier development and deployment of standards through a central control point that is also facilitating software change management. The other reasons we chose Wonderware are their large installed base both locally and world-wide as well as the strong local support and availability of skills.’

Most KPIs defined at the start of the project are now available, the various disparate systems are being integrated and the operations staff are very satisfied with developments.

‘We’ve found integration with ArchestrA to be easy,’ says Dries van Schalkwyk of Control Systems Integration. ‘DDE, Suitelink, OPC … anything goes. The ArchestrA environment is also helping to reduce engineering costs through the development, deployment and maintenance of standards such as the S88 naming convention. These now apply to the whole organisation.’

ArchestrA’s use of object technology means that the information, control, alarming and other criteria for plant items such as pumps and valves is defined in a template. If a change is required, only the template needs to be edited and this change will then automatically propagate to every instance of that item in the network. ‘This makes it easy to define and maintain standards and also reduces engineering costs when installing a new plant or maintaining an existing plant,’ adds Lange.

The Rand Water ArchestrA area model (Figure 3) consists of geographical areas and sites (treatment sites, booster pumping stations, pipelines and storage reservoirs) as well as distribution zones (pipeline service areas).

‘We see ArchestrA as an excellent solution for our needs,’ says Lange. ‘It maps well to our primary objective of an integrated and unified “shop floor” and provides the necessary infrastructure to safeguard our extensive existing investments and assets.’
