Automation of the operation modes and centralized control
of the water supply systems at «Vodokanal» MUE of Irkutsk
on the basis of electronic models

Summary

The principles of adopting technologic solutions of the control of the public utilities development and functioning under the conditions of their territorial, structural and timed disunity at the water supply and wastewater disposal enterprises are considered. A possible way of solving these problems based on the use of end-to-end simulation and designing the enterprise consolidated information area with the help of «ANGARA» Information Computer Environment is proposed. The brief description and main functions of «ANGARA» are presented. «ANGARA» ICE was designed at the laboratory of pipeline and hydraulic systems of Melentiev Energy Systems Institute for the automation of the processes of developing, supporting and using electronic models of pipelines of arbitrary type and with different levels of complexity in solving application tasks of studying, designing and operating them. The information-computer complex possesses the essential set of graphical, information and analytical functions required for the development, correction and analysis of pipeline system schemes of different type. Using the example of automation of designing the operation modes and centralized control of the water supply systems at «Vodokanal» MUE of Irkutsk the possibility of using the obtained results in solving new tasks that involve dynamic models of load flow is considered.

The concept of enterprise consolidated information area
and its approbation in «Vodokanal» MUE of Irkutsk

Summary

A brief description of approaches to IT development of the operators of public utilities pipelines is presented. The main task of developing intelligent pipeline systems is the harmonization of the requirements and capabilities of all the parties to the processes of receiving and conveying the operating medium, delivering and using the services. Herewith a consumer is assigned the part of an active full-fledged stakeholder who can influence the scope of services, their quality and price. The key objective of improving the degree of intellectuality of pipeline systems is ensuring the high level of their technologic controllability. The necessary condition of achieving the set goal is the availability of the consolidated information area as a cornerstone factor. The basic provisions of the concept of the enterprise consolidated information area are presented and the experience of its approbation in «Vodokanal» MUE of Irkutsk is described. Compared to the typical approach to the development of the management information system («top-down») that assumes data centralization within the frames of the unified information system, a flexible approach is proposed that is based on the data resource integration («bottom-up»). Herewith the information support of the decision-making processes related to the operation control is put a premium on. The acceptance of this concept by water and wastewater providers will lay the groundwork for establishing the intersystem and intraurban co-operation, integration with external structures and services (municipal administration, supervisory authorities, online resources for customer relations etc.), provide for improving the general level of controllability and concurrence of the decisions made which will result in the improvement of the efficiency and service quality.
