石油设备网讯 据世界油气网休斯顿消息，作为一家全球能源生产商，BP在一项为期五年的全球框架协议中，选择了在能源管理和自动化数字转型中处于领先地位的施耐德电气作为其主要电力承包商（MEC）之一。
根据协议条款，施耐德电气将提供全方位的设计和工程服务，包括优化、项目管理和整合、采购和供应链管理，并在BP上游主要资本项目的配电系统启动后，为其提供从调试到运营的全面支持。
施耐德电气过程自动化总裁加里·弗雷堡表示：“EcoStruxure是我们基于物联网的架构与平台，它使我们的客户能够在设计、实施和运营资产时重新思考传统方法，这样他们就可以更快、更安全地达到首次生产，通过以资产为中心的观点看待工厂的整个生命周期，我们的客户可以更好地利用前期资本投资，以提高工厂开始运营时的盈利能力和投资回报率。”
施耐德电气与BP合作多年，该MEC协议加强了这种合作。通过它，BP和施耐德电气将合作降低项目风险，降低成本，提高效率，同时以安全的方式推动价值、创新和安全。
弗雷堡说：“通过使用一个通用的模拟平台，并将虚拟建模与实时操作数据连接起来，我们可以帮助客户在“按设计”和“按操作”之间建立一个循环。这种办法使他们能够更好地识别、理解和减轻其资产在整个使用寿命期间的运营和业务风险。我们期待着与BP合作，优化从前端工程和设计到运营，甚至生命周期结束的整个生命周期支出，而不仅仅是资本支出或管理支出。”
EcoStruxure 是施耐德电气基于物联网、即插即用、开放式且具有互操作性的架构与平台，可从安全、可靠、高效、可持续和互联互通方面为客户提升更高价值。EcoStruxure 利用物联网、移动性、传感、云、分析和网络安全方面的进步，在各个层级提供全面创新。这包括互联互通的产品、边缘控制、应用、分析和服务。在20000多个系统集成商和开发商的支持下，已部署了480000多个站点，通过40多项数字服务将管理的160多万项资产连接起来。

BP, Schneider Electric sign five-year global frame agreement
BP, a global energy producer, has selected Schneider Electric, a leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, as one of its main electrical contractors (MEC) in a five-year global framework agreement.
Under the terms of the agreement, Schneider Electric will provide full-scope design and engineering services, including optimization, project management and integration, procurement and supply chain management, and full support from commissioning through to operations after start-up for the Electric Distribution System of BP’s upstream major capital projects awarded to Schneider Electric.
“Our IoT-enabled EcoStruxure architecture and platform enables our customers to rethink traditional approaches when it comes to how they design, implement and operate their assets so they can reach first production sooner, safely and securely,” said Gary Freburger, president, Process Automation, Schneider Electric. “By taking an asset-centric view of the facility across its lifecycle, our customers can better leverage up-front capital investments to improve profitability and ROI when the plant begins operating.”
Schneider Electric has worked with BP for many years, and the MEC agreement strengthens that collaboration. Through it, BP and Schneider Electric will work together to reduce project risks, lower costs and increase efficiencies, while driving value, innovation and safety in a secure manner.
“By using a common simulation platform, and connecting virtual modelling to real-time operations data, we help customers close the loop between ‘as designed’ and ‘as operating,’” Freburger said. “This approach enables them to better identify, understand and mitigate operating and business risks across the life of their assets. We look forward to collaborating with BP to optimize total lifecycle expenditures—not just CapEx or OpEx—from FEED to operations and even into end of life.”
EcoStruxure is Schneider Electric’s open, interoperable, IoT-enabled system architecture and platform. EcoStruxure delivers enhanced value around safety, reliability, efficiency, sustainability and connectivity for customers. EcoStruxure leverages advancements in IoT, mobility, sensing, cloud, analytics, and cybersecurity to deliver Innovation at Every Level.
