Nuclear Energy Management
About
This Energy Management project delivers sophisticated integration projects and real time Smart Energy solutions to Energy and Utilities companies around the world. In particular, it has equipped 70 nuclear power units with its Supervision and Command and Control software. This includes the world’s largest smart metering system.
Challenge
In managing some of the world’s most comprehensive and advanced energy and utility infrastructures, security is of the upmost importance. As a result, all physical computers had to be re-located to multiple, remote and ultra-secure sever rooms with nominated users granted secure access. In addition, each computer had to be managed by multiple operators located in separate control room environments where access to the supervision system controlling and monitoring all matters relating to energy distribution at a country level takes place. Each control room operator also required a defined profile which permitted defined access and USB control.
"It has been a fantastic project to be a part of and I’m looking forward to how it will continue to develop over the coming years. The scale of the project in number of computers and distances between them has been immense. We must also recognize the technical team who have provided insight into areas that has impacted upon product development"
Natasha Laslett, Adder Technology Control Room Specialist
Solution
A high performance KVM solution was needed to ensure that the control room and supervision system delivered was secure and efficient. After researching all available options, the ADDERLink™ INFINITY solution was chosen for its security, performance, and ‘simple to use’ and ‘user-friendly’ interface.
The hardware solution comprised of multiple receivers and transmitters, as well as the ADDERLink™ INFINITY Manager (A.I.M.) which allowed nominated operators access to the right computer at any time. Each user station was also equipped with Adder’s Command and Control switch, allowing users to seamlessly interact with up to 4 computers using just one keyboard and mouse ultimately improving ergonomics and user efficiency.
Result
The chosen solution allowed nominated operators access to any computer at any time with network and hardware redundancy options. The IT security features includes full end to end encryption, user identification, definable user permissions, USB control and access rights, providing the highest level of security required. The end result has been a huge success and includes a fully secure, flexible and scalable control room KVM solution which can evolve over time.
