Kunming CGE Water Supply (KMCGE) services a population of nearly four million residents with its 10 treatment plants, with a total water supply capacity of 1.58 million cubic meters per day, and a water distribution network that stretches over more than 4,000 kilometers. As the city grows, KMCGE must also continue to expand the scale of its water supply. Delivering a safe and stable water supply while optimizing production and operational efficiencies are the challenges faced by most water utilities. To make sure it could support the rapid urban development of Kunming, KMCGE recognized that it needed to leverage the power of digitization to effectively manage its water supply. It sought to tap into the rich cache of available data to coordinate network pipe pressure, the rational distribution of water resources, and better energy management.

KMCGE turned to Schneider Electric and their expertise in smart water solutions. Schneider proposed an EcoStruxure for Water & Wastewater solution that builds on KMCGE’s installed base, including Modicon M340 PACs, Altivar ATV1200 and ATV630 variable speed drives, medium and low-voltage power distribution systems, integrated with AVEVA System Platform software and EMS+, an energy management services platform. The solution provides KMCGE with a “digital core” for its updated water distribution management platform, incorporating lean management and centralized control capabilities. The EMS+ system’s modular design means it can be tailored to KMCGE’s specific requirements and ambitions. It collects and centralizes key data on water sources, water plants, pumping stations, distribution networks, and water quality. This wealth of data is then made available for analysis and reporting to help KMCGE formulate and refine effective water supply plans and make production scheduling more transparent, flexible, and efficient, ultimately optimizing the entire process, from production to distribution.
