圣迭戈水务部（SDWD）和大多数公用事业公司一样，正面临重大挑战。从…起 加州公用事业市场特有的问题对社区的压力迅速增长，圣地亚哥正处于困境 需要能够帮助水利部应对复杂性的管理工具。操作 优化是SDWD选择的一种工具，用于帮助将成本降至最低，并维持可靠、高质量的服务 供水，同时使公用事业公司能够超过设定的性能目标，从而实现 目标是成为客户的“一流”供水企业。 本文介绍了SDWD的优化小组如何与公用事业管理和技术合作 咨询公司EMA将达到或超过其两个主要绩效指标，包括: 净进口净化水采购量减少 购买更少的净化水， 和/或增加回圣地亚哥加利福尼亚水务局的净化水泵；和 通过 尽量减少能源消耗，以及 将抽水从峰值电能期转移到半峰值电能期- 高峰和非高峰时段。 运营优化（OO）提供了一套全面的管理工具，使SDWD能够实现 这些目标。该解决方案包括一个加速的软件开发周期，即高级软件 解决方案技术，最大限度地利用现有SCADA系统资产，新的业务流程，以及 通过参与和培训赋予员工权力。每个实用程序都是不同的，需要一个解决方案 定制以管理其供水、处理厂、分配系统和 技术圣地亚哥的优化过程使用了OO的几个不同组件，包括:水需求预测，以允许计划的操作；用于优化供水采购和水处理厂生产的供水分析仪 行程安排；泵/阀门优化器和SCADA改造，以操作泵和阀门，最大限度地减少 能源成本和使用； 能源成本表，用于管理能源定价和能源消耗及成本核算 演员表系统质量平衡模拟和性能监控。 圣地亚哥还使用一个优化网站:交流活动、目标和时间表；提供 清除可能影响系统运行的设备停用的机制；沟通 水系统日常运行计划；以及跟踪系统性能。通过使用“系统”方法 通过网站优化和共享信息，SDWD能够最大限度地降低成本，最大限度地提高效率 水质，并超过了一整套性能指标。包括4个参考文献、图表。

The San Diego Water Department (SDWD), like most utilities, is facing significant challenges. From rapid growth to community pressures to issues unique to the California utility market, San Diego is in need of management tools that can help the Water Department navigate the complexity. Operations Optimization is a tool SDWD has chosen to help minimize costs and maintain a reliable, high-quality water supply while enabling the utility to exceed set performance targets that will lead to achieving the goal of becoming a "Best-in-Class" water utility for its customers. This paper presents how SDWD's Optimization Group worked with utility management and technology consultants EMA to meet or exceed its two primary performance metrics that include: a reduction in net imported treated water purchases by purchasing less treated water, and/or increasing treated water pump-back to the San Diego California Water Authority; and, a reduction in annual energy costs by minimizing energy consumption, and shifting pumping from peak electric energy periods to semi-peak and off-peak periods. Operations Optimization (OO) offers a comprehensive set of management tools that allow SDWD to achieve these goals. Included in the solution is an accelerated software development cycle, advanced software solution techniques, maximized use of existing SCADA system assets, new business processes, and the empowerment of staff through involvement and training. Every utility is different, requiring a solution customized to manage the unique features of its water supply, treatment plants, distribution system, and technology. San Diego's optimization process uses several different components of OO including: Water Demand Forecasting to allow for planned operations; Water Supply Analyzer to optimize water supply purchases and water treatment plant production scheduling; Pump/Valve Optimizer and SCADA modifications to operate pumps and valves to minimize energy cost and use; Energy Cost Schedule for managing energy pricing and accounting for energy consumption and billing; and, System Mass Balance Simulation and Performance Monitoring. San Diego also uses an optimization website to: communicate activities, objectives, and schedule; provide a mechanism for clearing equipment out of service that may affect system operations; communicate the water system daily operating plan; and, to track system performance. By using a "systems" approach to optimization and sharing information through the website, SDWD is able to minimize cost, maximize water quality, and exceed a comprehensive set of performance measures.
