to monitor, alert
Black & Veatch, a global leader in critical infrastructure
solutions, has been selected by Capital Power to remotely monitor
seven of the Canada-based wholesale power producer’s generation
facilities across the United States and Canada over the course of
three years.
Black & Veatch’s role includes streaming data, including
flows, pressures, temperatures and vibrations from Capital Power
plants, where it then will be monitored remotely by Black &
Veatch asset monitoring teams in Kansas, Michigan and North
Carolina, as well as the India city of Pune. The four
interconnected teams use artificial intelligence (AI) to diagnose
potential problems before they occur using advanced data analytics.
The teams use that data to provide actionable intelligence to the
facilities providing innovative asset management solutions.
“Black & Veatch works to advance innovative technologies
that improve operations for our clients, and our remote monitoring
service is a key example of this,” said Ali Assaf, vice president
and managing director for Black & Veatch’s energy and process
industries business. “Using AI to detect potential issues early
before they become big problems ensures that our clients such as
Capital Power focus their time and resources on high-value
work.”
The solution leverages AI to detect issues that could impact
reliability, efficiency and production and proactively mitigate or
eliminate potential problems, effectively saving companies time and
money.
“Black & Veatch’s remote monitoring services help us achieve
our high reliability goals and focus on being net zero by 2045. We
value their expertise in applying AI to optimize our assets and
prevent issues. Capital Power is grateful for their partnership,"
said Lori Nickifor, vice president of engineering for Capital
