Controlling the uncontrollable is challenging, to say the least. As a result, many companies struggle to predict virtually every aspect of their environment in an attempt to avoid uncontrollable scenarios. But this quest for control is nearly impossible when dealing with the potentially catastrophic forces of Mother Nature.

A combination of factors over the past decade has led to a boom in decentralized power production and renewable energy sources in order to meet the growing electrical demand in an environmentally conscientious way. Last winter, the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine opened a new expansion facility that required the second largest chilled water plant in Florida and a major upgrade to its emergency power system. The entire building is in compliance with the university's green building standards.

The advent of certain technologies have opened the door to higher plant performance through highly accurate, centralized monitoring. These technologies include data historians, better network/internet connection speeds, faster processor speeds and Similarity Based Modeling (SBM). By combining these technologies the modern utility can monitor a broad base of sites, components and plants from a central location.
