Enel has long used conventional components (PI core) of the PI universe, which represent the core of the data collection in the generation business line. As the demands related to data and to their quality grow, new challenges arose: 1) how to automatically fill gaps in PI with SCADA data to ensure the highest data availability; 2) how to acquire data from small and distributed sensors / systems using an IoT approach; 3) how to aggregate data on-site to reduce bandwidth and hard disk consumption, without deploying a PI data archive; 4) how to access PI data from Microsoft PowerBI dashboards with the goal to cross the PI data with other sources for reporting and presentation purpose. Enel designed the solutions to the above needs by experimenting the features offered by new AVEVA solutions, namely PI Adapters, Edge Data Store and OCS.
