ConEdison
Con Edison Corporate Security has responsibility for all electric, gas and steam facilities spread out over the six regions, plus the corporate headquarters. The new SOC required a display system capable of supporting a complex and continually growing information environment. It was also critical that information sharing be dynamic and simple among multiple stakeholders in many locations: sub-station operations (SSO), gas supply, steam generation and distribution, and functions such as Business Management, Auditing and HR at headquarters. This is particularly important since the SOC and its back-up facility supplement the security activities of operational groups, especially with the use of surveillance video. The display solution would have to keep a back-up site continually online so that it could become immediately and fully operational in an emergency situation.
New Jersey Public Service Electric & Gas
PSE&G is New Jersey’s oldest regulated gas and electric delivery utility, serving nearly three-quarters of the state’s population. PSE&G is one of the largest combined electric and gas companies in the United States. Their control room is staffed by five shifts of four dispatchers each, who are charged with monitoring the power flow between distribution points. The business of balancing energy loads, anticipating trouble spots and fixing downed lines is a complex, time-sensitive and high profile effort. PSE&G needed a visualization system capable of effectively supporting their mission-critical decision making process.
South Texas Electric Cooperative
South Texas Electric Cooperative (STEC), headquartered in Nursery, Texas, is a generation and transmission cooperative organized for the purpose of providing dependable, wholesale electricity to rural areas of Texas. STEC and their eight distribution cooperatives serve a 26-county area on and adjacent to the Coastal Bend of Texas, supplying electricity to approximately 80,000 rural homes and businesses. STEC installed a display wall in 1995 that was stressed to its limits. With the need to upgrade, they defined key requirements related to a lower total cost of ownership, easy maintenance and strong reliable service.
