There are a handful of options when considering flow meter technology for measuring gas, most of which work very well in clean and dry gas applications. Endress+Hauser have developed a new ultrasonic flowmeter for inline gas flow measurement. The Proline Prosonic Flow G 300/500 is ideal for reliable measurement of raw or process natural gas, wet gas or complex, changing gas mixtures.

Data diodes are widely deployed in both power generation, transmission and distribution networks. In this session, we will run through use cases for simultaneously isolating and protecting power networks from cyber threats while maintaining a consistent and constant flow of data to outside parties for a variety of purposes (monitoring, production data, SIEM information, historian data, etc.) We will also look into regulatory issues and how data diodes help operators meet NERC requirements.

Hour 2:
Jeff MacKinnon, President
JMK Engineering Inc
The need today is for a utility protection and control system that is monitored and controlled from a central location. The merging of old and new assets, operational technology and information technology, managers and operators. The overlapping responsibilities and needs of various groups within a utility creates a number of conflicting design challenges. This presentation will outline one way that various levels of protection/controls can be systemized into discrete designs and then interact in a predictable manner with each other. This scheme is product agnostic, but the examples in this presentation will use SEL and VTScada products as the demonstration.
