Power Generation APAC Summit 2012
Feb 29th
Ensuring Safety and Security in Power Generation
 | Brian Mulcahy from HIMA Australia, a sponsor company at the marcus evans Power Generation APAC Summit 2012, on reducing hazards and risks when working with power generation assets. Interview with: Brian Mulcahy, Managing Director, HIMA Australia |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
“With increasing living standards in Asia, it is important that companies build assets that are able to achieve their design purpose,” says Brian Mulcahy, Managing Director, HIMA Australia. As living standards improve, so does public awareness of safety and its perception of a reliable supply.
From a safety system engineering company at the marcus evans Power Generation APAC Summit 2012, taking place in Macao, China, 28 – 30 May, Mulcahy discusses the need for diversifying systems in power generation assets.
How can power generation systems be designed around safety?
There are three primary drivers in process safety: safety of the public and the employees working with the asset, protection of the environment and the protection of the asset itself.
Safety has to do with having the right mindset. When people think of safety, they think of occupational health, preventing slips and falls – wearing hard hats and safety boots. There must be more focus on delivering mission critical safety systems.
When designing a plant, it is essential to think of all the things that could create an unsafe condition. Process safety is about preventing the “incidents”. The first step is to endeavour to design an inherently safe plant by engineering out risks wherever possible. Where this may not be possible, safety engineers should attempt to reduce the likelihood of an unsafe condition through the application of high integrity control equipment in order to reduce the likelihood of a potentially catastrophic incident.
What are some practical methods for reducing hazards and risks when using machinery?
The best place to start is early in the design stage of a project. Try to design out the risks where possible by employing inherently safe design. Next, ensure that your safety system achieves its purpose. If at all possible, ensure that you do not have common cause faults that can erode system integrity.
By way of comparison, most people recognise that if they have an investment portfolio, they should not invest all of their funds in one asset class. They recognise the value of diversity for security purposes. The same applies in process safety. If an automation vendor supplies the control system for the machine, overall process safety could be compromised if the same vendor also supplies the safety system. This is not a good practice.
How can power generation executives impact their company’s bottom line?
It is crucial that power stations do not shut down. Under all circumstances they must remain operational and keep generating power to guarantee supply. Having a safety system that aids a company to improve system reliability and plant uptime without comprising safety performance can have a huge impact on the bottom line.
The US Secretary of State recently used the term “Pacific century” and highlighted that much foreign policy and politics will be geared towards the growth that is likely to occur in Asia over the next few years. Indeed – Asia is booming!
Closely associated with this economic development, will be a rapid rise in the standard of living and expectations of millions of people throughout Asia. It is important therefore that companies build assets that will meet these future expectations. The reliability and safety of crucial infrastructure such as power generation is fundamental to achieving this goal. As living standards improve, so does public awareness of safety and its perception of a reliable supply.

Energy CFO Summit 2012

UMS Group: Evolution of the CFO’s Role in the Utility Sector
| Jack Shearman, a Solution Provider at the marcus evans Energy CFO Summit 2012, on improving day-to-day activities in the energy sector. Interview with: Jack Shearman, Chief Executive Officer, UMS Group |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Energy Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) face a sustained negative business environment with growing pressure and risk for the business. Regulatory scrutiny, aging assets and unfunded customer expectations for reliability improvements and “smart” investments are creating the perfect storm for utility earnings and financial health.
CFOs must lead the way through these intractable challenges, developing strategies to achieve significant and simultaneous improvement in operating costs, capital investment focus and returns and performance accountability and control, says Jack Shearman, Chief Executive Officer, UMS Group. Otherwise, it may be time to chart an exit course and court the most attractive acquisition offer.
Shearman will be discussing the shifting priorities and role of CFOs and the importance of finding new ways to drive growth, lower costs and improve margins at the upcoming marcus evans Energy CFO Summit 2012, taking place in San Antonio, Texas, February 5-7.
What are the current opportunities in the energy sector?
Jack Shearman: Getting “lean” right now is a critically important strategy. Many energy companies have again tried the typical cost reduction programs of the past, but with very limited success. Aggressive companies are outsourcing additional activities, taking large inventory reductions, mounting labor productivity initiatives and adopting new maintenance and asset strategies.
Other markets around the world have driven dramatic improvements in efficiency, reliability and system risk over the past 20 years, and now lead the US in virtually all these measures. Studying reform processes as applied in Australia, Europe and South America, and sorting myth from fact on how much efficiency gain is possible can empower stronger leadership of change.
How can energy CFOs prepare for upcoming changes and regulations?
Jack Shearman: It is time for most CFOs to undertake a function-by-function evaluation of the business to jettison non-core operations, tighten spending controls and ruthlessly eliminate unnecessary/low value activities. Leading by example and first trimming corporate overhead staff and costs will be a key driver of credibility and success here.
The approaching conflict between asset replacement needs, current operating costs, revenue and regulatory realities must be communicated in a way that the operations team clearly gets the message and opens up to dramatic changes in approach.
CFOs also need to change the scorecards they use to track the performance of the business, emphasizing leading indicators that provide early warning of risks and impending problems.
How has the energy CFO’s role within the organization changed in the past few years?
Jack Shearman: CFOs can no longer only concern themselves with the financial requirements of the business. They must be seen as strategic business partners of the utility’s Operating Officers and Chief Risk Officers of their Enterprise. They must provide thought leadership and ensure earnings sustainability by managing risks and uncertainty. To do that, they need to drive greater transparency, operating flexibility and performance accountability into the organization.
What long-term corporate strategies would you recommend?
Jack Shearman: Utilities must find creative ways to replace aging assets, while securing regulatory commitments for future cost recovery. They need to shift their earnings growth strategy from load growth and making investments in new transmission assets, to new areas such as services, renewables and green power.
The world is pushing innovation, “smart” technologies and customer choice, and expecting, but not funding “grid modernization”. These changes will erode the concept of utility regulated franchises and place relentless pressure on incumbents.
Do you have one piece of advice for those in the energy sector?
Jack Shearman: Leverage the lessons from other global markets, where survivors are those who became aggressive about evaluating new options and then sharpened their tools to become effective leaders of change. This requires driving realignment of corporate priorities and embracing tougher standards of performance and accountability.

Standardizing Preventive Maintenance in the Energy Sector
Interview with: Andy Hill, Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder, Oniqua
Andy Hill from Oniqua, a solution provider at the marcus evans Energy CFO Summit 2012, on the importance of adopting a proactive maintenance strategy.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
“Without a strong preventive maintenance approach in place, energy utilities will continue to over-spend across their entire MRO (maintenance, repair and operations) and supply chains,” says, Andy Hill, Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder, Oniqua.
From an asset performance management company attending the upcoming marcus evans Energy CFO Summit 2012, in San Antonio, Texas, February 7-8, Hill discusses why utilities must first identify the criticality of assets and equipment before beginning safety and maintenance programs.
How can utilities make an impact on their bottom line and reduce inventory costs?
Reducing inventory costs is a key way for Energy Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) to impact the bottom line. Utilities, however, must maintain and improve service levels while reducing inventory levels. Pursuing potential reductions in inventory costs must be balanced with the potential risks of doing or not doing so. To ensure this balance is properly struck, it is important that utilities have the proper tools and processes in place.
Why is it important for utilities to standardize preventive maintenance?
To keep costs low and service levels high, adopting a proactive maintenance strategy is extremely important. Without a strong preventative maintenance approach in place, energy utilities will continue to overspend across their entire MRO and supply chains, as they will inevitably hold unnecessarily high levels of safety stock, and underperform in service levels, which is the ultimate success metric for utilities. Part of any maintenance and equipment performance strategy should include preventative maintenance planning and rigorous analysis in the areas of lifecycle costing, component failure, equipment criticality, budgeting and bills of materials.
How can utilities increase reliability and safety?
They can do so with strong preventative maintenance strategies in place, and a finely-tuned and highly efficient MRO supply chain to support those strategies. Utilities must also understand the cost of stock-outs. A big part of employing effective reliability, safety and maintenance programs begins with identifying the criticality of assets and equipment.
Without criticality codes, all items are treated the same, which is extremely ineffective and inefficient. Maintenance and operations must define criticality at the equipment level, then analyze work management histories and bills of material and apply it at the material level. It is critical that utilities properly align safety stock with business risk.
Any final comments?
Utilities should take a long-term, holistic view to optimizing their MRO equipment and assets. This means integrating their efforts across all in-bound supply chain and maintenance activities, including equipment performance, maintenance effectiveness, inventory optimization, supplier performance, procurement effectiveness and supply chain effectiveness. Such a holistic approach is clearly not an overnight endeavor, but one that will require discipline and strong senior leadership within an organization.

Water & Wastewater Management Summit
Feb 8th
Innovation in the Water & Wastewater Management Business
| Paul Gagliardo, a speaker at the marcus evans Water & Wastewater Management Summit 2012, about innovating in the typically conservative water utility business. Interview with: Paul Gagliardo, Manager – Innovation Development, American Water |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Water and wastewater utilities must look to innovation as a process for driving operational efficiencies within their organizations, Paul Gagliardo, Manager – Innovation Development, American Water says. Production and delivery costs continue to increase and much of the nation’s water and wastewater infrastructure is past its useful life. If utilities wish to maintain quality and service, they will have to be more innovative in how they manage their assets, he adds.
A speaker at the upcoming marcus evans Water & Wastewater Management Summit 2012, in Las Vegas, Nevada, May 3-4, Gagliardo discusses his approach to water and wastewater management.
Why are water utilities conservative when it comes to change and innovation? Does that still serve them well?
Water utilities are inherently conservative because of their primary function, which is to provide a regulatory mandated quality of water to every household, and to treat and dispose of wastewater in the appropriate manner. There is a significant health and safety aspect to this, so they tend to stick to doing what they know will work.
However, power costs are increasing, climate change via green house gas emissions is being exacerbated, new regulations are impacting treatment systems, buried pipelines are subject to leaking and new technology is being developed at a rapid rate. As these drivers continue to change, utilities will have to be more innovative in how they design, upgrade, operate and manage their assets, in order to reduce their costs and maintain quality and service.
Does success always come down to innovation? Do you have a set path for thinking more creatively?
Innovation plays a big role in success. Steve Jobs said, “Think Different”. Many times one has to think in a different manner to see alternative solutions for reducing operating or capital costs, or increasing safety. It can be a sensor to identify a particular contaminant in real-time or a filter that can remove it at a lower cost. These are innovations that need to be tested and validated to determine the value proposition. The first step is seeking out companies and ideas, then testing and validating them to see if the value proposition of a particular technology makes a valid business case. There should be a multi-step approach, from uncovering the idea to analyzing it and finding deployment opportunities.
What is critical for safeguarding public health and safety?
There are federal and local water quality regulations, but we also look downstream to predict where regulations might go. A few years ago the arsenic maximum contaminant level was lowered. People are more concerned about pharmaceutically active compounds. Analyzing the causes and effects of compounds is a long process, but we try to have potential solutions in place for when and if new regulations do occur.
Any final words of wisdom?
Chaos is your friend. If you do not change, you will not grow. If you look at an issue from a different perspective, you will notice patterns in the randomness and chaos that can lead you to new solutions.

Generation Summit 2012
Feb 6th
Protecting Utilities through Business Continuity
| Scott Roe from Corporate Risk Solutions, a solution provider at the marcus evans Generation Summit 2012, on protecting utilities from internal and external attacks. Interview with: Scott Roe, President, Corporate Risk Solutions |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
“It is crucial for power utilities to be prepared for malicious attacks and internal actions that could potentially bring down their organization,” says Scott Roe, President, Corporate Risk Solutions. Organizations must consider how the utility is being accessed and maximize security, he adds.
From a solution provider company attending the marcus evans Generation Summit 2012, in San Antonio, Texas, February 7-8, Roe discusses the three primary phases organizations must go through when responding to an attack on a utility.
Why must there be more focus on the protection of utilities?
The reliability of the electricity sector is paramount. Most of the nation’s critical infrastructures, such as telecommunications, banking and finance, and transportation are dependent upon reliable power to operate. Every process and operation in the energy industry requires dynamic information flow which can put systems at risk. This could be a customers’ personal information or information that the system relies on to manage electricity. Simply stated, utilities must protect their customers’ information and the systems in place.
Managers should identify how the utility is being accessed both physically and logically. Does the public have any access? How is the information being stored? While typically a private network, does it use or allow public interface? What is the remote-access capability of the system? There must be a focus on the access points where information has the potential to be leaked and how that is being protected from within.
What benefits does Business Continuity bring?
Security solutions and Business Continuity are risk management tools that can assist the organization in defending against and responding to malicious attacks. While utilities are used to handling impacts and risks related to severe weather, outages, etc., they are not as adept at handling the recovery processes surrounding malicious events, such as cyber attacks or internal actions that could potentially bring down the organization.
What are the three primary phases for responding to an attack on a utility?
The first is incident response. This typically includes containing or isolating the event to reduce total impact and to limit continual collateral impact.
The second phase is disaster recovery. This involves returning to a state of operations, through the use of redundant systems, spare parts and temporary processes.
The third is business resumption, when operations return to a normal state. Another key goal of this phase is to complete an After Action Review to identify what occurred and what can be done in the future to prevent it from happening again.
Any final comments?
Utilities have a reputation for engineering just about everything, yet with Security, they often treat this as an “add-on”. To ensure effective regulatory compliance and, more importantly, to enhance their risk management program, Security and Business Continuity should be “engineered” into their processes. They must consider how security can be maximized more efficiently, including whether it can be built into the operations and structures themselves.

Water & Wastewater Management Summit
Feb 6th
Minimizing the Effects of Underinvestment in Water Utilities
| Nilaksh Kothari, a speaker at marcus evans Water & Wastewater Management Summit 2012, on overcoming the challenges being faced at water utilities. Interview with: Nilaksh Kothari, General Manager, Manitowoc Public Utilities |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Water and wastewater utilities in North America have come to be silent, reliable service providers in North America, but serious underfunding and budget cuts could soon take a toll on aging infrastructure. Nilaksh Kothari, General Manager at Manitowoc Public Utilities, and a speaker at the marcus evans Water & Wastewater Management Summit 2012, in Las Vegas, Nevada, May 3-4, sheds some light on the challenges impacting utilities today and how they can be minimized.
What are the top five challenges facing water and wastewater management utilities today?
The aging water and wastewater infrastructure is a major problem for the industry. A recent study has found a funding gap of USD 9 billion annually in water infrastructure in the US. This is a tremendous amount of underinvestment.
On top of that, the uncertain economic situation has brought about financial instability and a decrease in demand, as consumers try to conserve water to save on their bills.
Thirdly, as a large percentage of the workforce prepares to retire in the next five to ten years, replacing employees is proving to be an issue for this sector.
I also cannot underemphasize the increasing and expanding regulations coming from the EPA.
And lastly, changing customer needs and dynamics, in terms of the water quality requirements and how the media influences public opinion.
How can utilities overcome budget cuts?
Water utilities need to do more with less. They should try to be more resourceful in how they manage available resources. It boils down to prioritization of projects and issues, and utilizing technology to the greatest extent possible.
There is a need for utilities to understand and communicate risk. After all, doing more with less is just another way to operate at a higher risk level, because the level of investment is not adequate.
What opportunities could they take advantage of?
The key is planning and looking at solutions holistically, more so than operating in silos, which is what many organizations do. They need to collaborate more so than they have done in the past. There are many opportunities to reduce costs, such as by outsourcing to third parties what can be handled more efficiently.
Utilities in North America have been the silent servers, providing services without communicating with their customers what they do or how they do it. They must raise the level of awareness, to ensure that people still believe that drinking water is safe and of the highest quality.
What is critical for safeguarding public health and safety?
Maintaining and optimizing the existing infrastructure, utilizing technology and assuring that the workforce is adaptive and trained to deal with challenges, would be the top three priorities to assure water is always safe, reliable and delivered at the taps 24/7.
