APPLICATION OF SCADA

-

 

SCADA regulates traffic lights, controls traffic flow, and detects out-of-order signals. SCADA software applications are used to remotely monitor and control equipment related to pipelines, pumps, storage, offshore platforms and onshore wells, refineries and petro-chemical stations, 

Electric power generation, transmission and distribution

Electric utilities use RTUs (or PLCs) and HMI SCADA to detect current flow and line voltage of remote sites. They also use them to monitor the operation of breakers, and to take power grids on or off. SCADA systems can be found at electrical power distribution from gas-fired, coal, nuclear, electrical power transmission and distribution, etc.

Water, wastewater and sewage

State and municipal water use SCADA applications. They monitor and regulate water flow, reservoir levels, pipe pressure, wastewater collection and treatment facilities, water treatment centers and distribution, and other factors of the field devices.

Buildings, facilities and environments

Facility managers use SCADA to monitor and control HVAC, temperature sensors, refrigeration units, lighting and entry systems.

Manufacturing

SCADA manages parts lists for just-in-time manufacturing and regulates industrial automation and robots. It also monitors quality and process control in industrial plants.

Mass transit

Transit authorities use SCADA protocols to regulate electricity in remote locations. They also use it to automate traffic signals, to track and locate trains and buses, and to control railroad crossing gates.

Traffic signals

SCADA regulates traffic lights, controls traffic flow, and detects out-of-order signals.

Oil and Gas

SCADA software applications are used to remotely monitor and control equipment related to pipelines, pumps, storage, offshore platforms and onshore wells, refineries and petro-chemical stations, etc.

Food and Beverage Production

Keeping temperatures within a proper range is very important when making and processing food. SCADA systems will be used to monitor and control temperatures within these facilities.

Other processes include telecommunications, agriculture/irrigation, healthcare, pharmaceutical, and many others.

Image
  Unmanned Power Sub Station System An Unmanned Power Substation System refers to a modern and technologically advanced electrical substation that operates without the need for constant on-site human presence. These unmanned substations utilize automation, remote monitoring, and control technologies to efficiently manage potential events. Automation and Remote Control The system is equipped with intelligent devices and sensors that automate various tasks such as monitoring voltage, current, temperature, and other parameters. Remote control capabilities allow operators to manage the substation from our command center. Reduced Operation and Maintenance Costs With the elimination of on-site personnel, the operational and maintenance costs associated with manned substations are significantly reduced. Routine maintenance tasks can be scheduled and monitored remotely. Enhanced Reliability and Safety The use of automated systems ensures greater reliability and minimizes the risk of human ...

Difference Between AC And DC Motor

  Difference Between AC And DC Motor The difference between AC and DC Motor are discussed below: AC Motor vs DC Motor AC Motor DC Motor AC motor runs on alternating current. DC motors operate on direct current. There is no need for conversion of current in AC motors. Like AC. There is no need for conversion of current in AC motors. Like AC. AC motors are used where power performance is demanded for extended periods of time. DC motors are used where the speed of the motor needs to be controlled externally. AC motors can be single-phase or three-phase. All DC motors are single phase. In an AC motor the armature does not rotate while the magnetic field keeps rotating continuously. In a DC motor, the armature rotates while the magnetic field rotates. Repairing AC motors is not expensive. DC motors are very expensive to repair. Brushes are not used in AC motor. Brushes are used in DC motor. AC motors have a very long life span DC motors do not have a very long life span. The speed of AC...

MOSFET

  What is MOSFET? The MOSFET, also known as a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor, is a type of FET with an insulated gate that is assembled by the controlled oxidation of that  semiconductor . The semiconductor used in it is generally silicon. In more detail, we can explain that it is a four-a terminal-based device that is composed of a, Source(S) Gate (G) Drain (D) Body (B) In a general overview, the body of a MOSFET is in connection with its source terminal hence forming a three-terminal device such as a field-effect transistor. It is normally considered a transistor and is utilized in both digital circuits and analog circuits. A MOSFET can function in two ways Depletion Mode Enhancement Mode Enhanced Mode Enhanced mode can be defined as if there is no voltage across the gate terminal then the device will not conduct. But when there is a maximum voltage present across the gate terminal then the conductivity of the device gets enhanced. Depletion Mode Depletion...
