Overview
The SWAN Asia-Pacific Alliance research report serves as a vital resource for water professionals offering practical frameworks and case studies on how to (1) decide between off-the shelf vs. in-house technology implementation (2) integrate diverse OT, IoT, and SCADA network data, and (3) enhance energy efficiency by improving operational efficiency, reducing costs, and achieving sustainability goals.
1. Choosing the Right Approach to Smart Water Project Development
This paper presents a structured decision-making framework to help utilities choose between off-the-shelf and in-house solutions for smart water projects. It guides utilities through considerations such as cost, resource availability, customisation needs, and time-to-market, ultimately helping them make informed decisions to meet their operational and strategic goals.
2. Challenges in Managing Data from Diverse OT, IoT, and SCADA Networks
This paper delves into the complexities of managing data from various operational technology (OT), Internet of Things (IoT), and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) networks. It identifies barriers such as inconsistent data standards and the need for robust data transformation processes. The paper provides insights into creating a harmonised data environment that enhances operational efficiency and ensures a unified source of truth across the network.
3. The Smart Water-Energy Nexus
This paper explores the interdependencies between water and energy resources, highlighting how water utilities can optimise energy use, enhance operational efficiency, and contribute to sustainability. It discusses regional considerations within the APAC context and various strategies for improving energy efficiency throughout the water processing stages, emphasising the need for a holistic approach to integrate energy and water management effectively.
