CEP for the Energy Industry
The energy industry is in transition. The eletricity sector is rapidly moving towards innovative service delivery and the Oil and Gas sector is faced with rising costs and increased regulatory requirements. The pressure is on to find new ways to be more responsive to market and customer demands. End-to-end situational awarness is required to improve effeciency, reduce costs and delivering new services
With the Progress® Apama® Event Processing Platform, the energy industry can gain real-time insight into operations from Smart Grid initiatives to the Digital Oilfield. With Apama, the information flow, or events, from any and all sources can be monitored and analyzed in real-time. Events can be visualized as they happen through interactive dashboards or offered up as proactive notifications or actions. The results are increased control over real-time operations as well as improved decision making for greater business precision.
Putting the “smart” in Smart Grids
With Apama, data from advanced metering infrastructures can be managed in real-time. Demand Response programs, usage profiling, and proactive service delivery solutions can be enhanced by responding to events as they happen – rather than after the fact. Demand-side assets in substations and transmission stations can be directed to redirect flow or change operational characteristics by responding to real-time utilization. Through complex event processing (CEP), Apama provides the infrastructure and tools to deliver on the promise of the Smart Grid.
Enhancing the Digital Oilfield
Upstream operations are filled with events. Data generated from SCADA, telemetry and process controls, while managed effectively in isolation, can bring greater control if monitored and managed together. Apama patented HyperTree technology can correlate and filter high volume and velocity events from multiple sources. Meaningful event patterns can be isolated where performance, utilization and maintenance strategies can be enabled to act in real-time. The Digital Oilfield has the opportunity to revolutionize the industry and with Apama, the opportunity is real.
Greater visibility and control
Apama's Event Modeler and the Apama Dashboard Studio with the Apama Correlator provide the foundation for real-time visibility and proactive control. Business scenarios created in the Event Modeler monitor the events as they pass through the Correlator. Rules in the scenarios can take action on meaningful event patterns or deliver results to rich and interactive dashboards. With Apama, the full lifecycle of real-time, event-based solutions is managed from design to deployment. The result is unparalleled visibility and control over operations that will help transform the industry.
