This document describes a web-based utility management system called HydroShare. It allows users to monitor water, gas, and electricity consumption via the internet. It connects to various meters and data loggers using 3G, GPRS, or satellite. It stores large amounts of usage data and provides alarming notifications via SMS, email, or SCADA. Key benefits include easy online access to site data, automatic report generation, and flexibility for both utility providers and customers to access information. It can be used for applications like irrigation, industry, recreation, institutions, and trade waste monitoring.
2. HydroShare:
Monitoring of water, gas and
electricity consumption via
the Internet
Multitude of applications
• Irrigators
• Industry
• Recreational
• Public institutions
• Shopping Centres
•Trade Waste
•Level Monitoring
3. Internet Based Data loggers
• Connects to almost all existing water, gas and
electricity meters
• 3G / GPRS / Satellite options available
• Benefit of large data storage if communications fail
• Detailed alarming systems- SMS/EMAIL/SCADA
options
• Low power consumptions and data costs -
• Temporary or permanent installation
4. Benefits of Web Based Data
• Quick, easy access to site data
• Permanent storage of your results- accessible
any time
• Years of data can be stored and immediately
viewable online
• Automatically generate reports from the web
to statistically analyse your data
• One central system to store and retrieve data
• Flexibility and visibility both for water
authority and customer
9. Exception Reporting
- Configured by clients
- Detects leaks, abnormal usage, out of hours
exceptions
- Forms the basis for regulated reporting
- Water quality reports also available (EC, pH etc.)
10. Site Brief
• Monitor levels within the well.
• Monitor Flow totals.
• Activate pumps at pre-determined levels (Control
level)
• Stop pumps if no flow detected while
pumping.(Flow feedback)
• SMS alarming for pump failure.
• SMS alarming for high level.
12. Source Monitoring of Discharge Quality and Quantities (Trade
Waste)
Water Authority and customer both
get access to real-time live discharge
data
13. Hydroshare
Designed to measure TDS loads
Better understanding of variability in groundwater quality
Required for customers if:
– RO plant
– Groundwater discharge
– TDS variation
14. Hydroshare
Better monitoring of customer
Ability to shut down pumps if discharging while non-compliant
Mt Martha STP operators to see discharge profile
Alerts sent via SMS and email for non-compliant discharge
Protect trade waste plant and staff
15. Customer Benefits
Visibility of discharge – leaks etc
Remote monitoring of compliance
Alarming real time SMS alerts for non compliance
Assist in cleaner production studies
Identify waste discharge profile
Identify excess chemical product discharge to
sewer
Better alignment of incoming and outgoing
Tradewaste balance.
16. Continued
Feed back to customer volume control usage
Reduce Trade waste officers travel times and
manage treatment plant management, especially
smaller treatment plants
Drill down shut down for non compliance
TDS better monitoring and management of a
critical pollutant
Meter reading redundancy
Monthly billing in line with incoming water bill
17. What we’ve started doing……
onitoring new apartment complexes: Water meters, electricity meters,
nwater tank levels, pump power consumption, localized weather
tions
w pressure sewer telemetry system: Pumps will talk to each other to
ay data, more information sending back to assist operations and also
delling. Includes live level info for each pump
oving the SOBN bore monitoring towards real-time bore reading
ipment
mart building monitoring (profiling time of use for water, gas, electricity)
rbon Footprint Reporting and monitoring
18.
19. Footprint Monitoring
Building on Hydroshare foundation to
offer Trade Waste Monitoring,
Carbon emission data, Weather
and Tank Level Data directly to
customers via the web
23. Reports
For Greenhouse emissions reporting etc (NABERS,
EREP…).
Linked to actual production figures (eg number of cars
produced, tonnes of food produced etc.)
Can be fully customised
