Also presenting will be Emerson’s Sergio Pasquali. His presentation, New Technologies Drive Operational Performance by Connecting Smart Stations to Distribution Networks, will be on Friday, June 29 at 1pm. Sergio collaborated on the paper for this presentation with Emerson’s Dave Macedonia, Aurélien Tissot and Rossella Mimmi.
They open their abstract noting:
Natural Gas distribution companies have been historically slow to adopt new technologies, especially so-called “smart” technologies, in their networks.

Recently, the natural gas distribution segment has begun to catch up by adopting these types of technologies to enjoy similar results. Solution providers in the industry have developed customized systems for customers and, when coupled with a digital ecosystem, they can drive substantial value for gas utility companies.
Opportunities for improved operational performance include: Continue Reading ▶
