5 Innovation: What is going well?
• Three case studies
Mix innovation
with“tried & tested”
Make itwork!
Focus on outcomes
6 Case Study 1: Smart monitoring
• Artificial Neural Networks applied to burst/leak detection
University of Sheffield research
Wessex pilot ProductisationCommercial
implementation
7 Case Study 1: Smart monitoring
Whole company six-month competitive trial
Detected 322 genuine anomalies (43 bursts)
Potential annual net savings >£200,000
8 Case Study 1: Smart monitoring
Next steps
Blockage detection
Real time asset
condition monitoring
Water quality
(e.g. turbidity)
9 Case Study 2: Optimal Control
• Water supply issues• standalone sources• low flow reduction• high nitrate sources
• New Supply Grid
• Centralised control required
10 Case Study 2: Optimal Control
Telemetry
Control
• Holistic user-configurable network model
• Constraints – licences, treatment, capacities, storage, quality, pressures
• Optimises – forecast and meet demand, maintain storage, least cost, calm networks
• New schedule every 30 minutes, looking 48 hours ahead
• Automatically implemented by Scope
11 Case Study 2: Optimal Control
“The optimiser has introduced a radically different way of controlling water supply sources and networks.
• Improved security of supply
• Efficient transfer of flows in a complex system
• Savings made avoiding Triads and Duos periods
• Optimal outage planning
• Optimal blending ratios for nitrate sources
• Reduced call outs out-of-hours”
“Most sophisticated water transfer system in the
industry”
“10% savings at 3 key sites”
12 Case Study 3: Optimal investment

15 Innovation: What has changed?
Drive for innovation
Totex
ODIs Company financial planning constraints
Demonstrable RoIis sometimes not enough
16 Innovation: What is not yet working?
Watercompanies as
Solution Integrators
Silos Resistance to change
Unblock with:
• Supply chain engagement
• Outcomes-based procurement
• Cross-cutting initiatives
• 80:20 rule:• 80% “adopt and adapt”
• 20% genuinely newBureaucracy
17 What can be achieved in 1-2 years?
Best value from existing systems
Make telemetry
estate “real time ready”
Connect with decision-support
tools
Connect dashboards
to real world
Smarter use of existing
data
Extend monitoring
on best-value basis
Prepare for real time
asset management
18 Direction of travel
• Digital twin – single data model
• IIoT
• Cyber Security
• The rise of AI
• Demand Side Response
19 The UK Water OT Security Challenge
• UK Water has a focus on security of IT system infrastructure
• However a high % of data collection and control devices are legacy and so have little or no in-built security
• The challenge:• How to replace monitoring and control devices with secure
equivalents in a timely manner so that the exposure is kept to a minimum
20 IoT Opportunities
• IoT provides many opportunities• low cost data collection devices• low cost communication through narrow band technologies
• Emerging IoT Technologies:• NB-IOT, LoRa, Sigfox – Narrow Band Communications• subscription services using MQTT etc.
• IoT presents a number of challenges• security• management of devices
21 One Answer: Using RTUs as a Secure IIoT Data Gateway

22 Priorities for “constructive disruption”
Outcomes based procurement
… to buy defined outcomes not products
Invest in data
… to unlock potential of analytics, optimisation and AI
Focus on the real world
… not the C-suite dashboards!
Outsource solution integration
… (wherever sensible)
