The Value of Knowledge Relay’s Data Solution-as-a-Service for Nuclear Power Operations

Nuclear power plants play a crucial role in meeting the United States’ energy needs while reducing carbon emissions and producing “clean energy.”  The safe and efficient operation of these complex facilities requires a significant investment in human and technological resources.  With limited staff and the increasing demands of regulatory compliance and operational efficiency, nuclear power operators are turning to third-party “solution as a service” providers to augment their capabilities.

Leading the charge, Knowledge Relay delivers unrivaled Project Controls, ETL, and data services to approximately 70% of U.S. nuclear power operators as the industry leader in fleet, online, and outage data and metrics.

One of the primary benefits of engaging third-party solution providers like Knowledge Relay is our deep expertise and specialization in specific areas of nuclear power operations.  At Knowledge Relay, our senior staff bring decades of experience working with nuclear facilities—ensuring industry best practices and innovative data reporting solutions.

U.S. nuclear operators rely on us for:

• Data Systems Integration — integrating disparate data systems, migrating enterprise data between ERPs, and ensuring the seamless data flow that is critical for effective decision-making and regulatory compliance.  Nuclear operators leverage our expertise in data integration technologies and methodologies to streamline data management processes and improve your operational efficiency.
• Data Migration/ETL — migrating large volumes of data from legacy systems to new platforms is always a complex and time-consuming task.  Our experts at Knowledge Relay offer specialized ETL services to ensure your critical data is migrated accurately, efficiently, and quickly minimizing disruptions to online and offline operations.
• Faster Implementation and Time-to-Value — implementing new software solutions or upgrading existing systems can be a lengthy and resource-intensive process.  Knowledge Relay has proven methods to accelerate implementation timelines.  By leveraging our teams’ experience and best practices, we can help your nuclear power operations realize the benefits of new technologies faster with greater ROI.
• Dashboards for Risk and Regulatory Compliance — imagine a single dashboard that shows everything about your energy projects in real-time.  Knowledge Relay’s dashboards do this by bringing together data from all your sources:  From scheduling, cost tracking, and risk assessment tools.  Even better, Knowledge Relay automates this process to ensure the information is always accurate and up-to-date.
• What-If Analysis — nuclear power generation portfolio managers need to accurately assess potential budget, resource, operational, and regulatory scenarios to forecast what-if impacts and make informed decisions about budget allocation and resource deployment.  Knowledge Relay uniquely delivers what-if analysis software and services to improve your forecasting and strategic resource allocation.
