Implementing a virtual power station using the SCADA system developed in-house

A programmable control system (PCS) undertakes the control tasks for the CHP plant. It acts as an interface with the higher-level visualisation and analysis system.

• Central control of the CHP plant.
• An open system, which enables the integration of other power stations and process control systems.
• Prerequisites for a combined power station using different energy sources such as wind, sun and biomass ("Next Generation Utility").
• An interface for mobile applications.

Central data collection and analysis are key functions for efficient decentralised power generation plants

• Around 30 MB data volume is transmitted daily by each CHP plant.
• The database also supplies valuable information for handling problems and product development.
• Fast and precise analysis of the causes is enabled in the event of faults. 80% of the plant faults can therefore be solved without deploying personnel on site.
