DEVELOPMENT OF SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM FOR ENERGY MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Energy management has become a key issue for large industrial and commercial users. In recent years due to increasing gap between supply and demand of electricity. The supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA) is widely used in modern industries to achieve higher productivity and product quality. Today's SCADA systems are critically dependent on the proper functioning of computing and communications technologies. The management and functional needs of such systems often require connection to public network infrastructure. Rational use of electricity in processes require on-line monitoring and consumption control of electricity. This dissertation describes how energy management is achieved using PLC and SCADA. A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) based energy monitoring and consumption control scheme has been designed and implemented. This energy monitoring scheme is realised through PLC programming and SCADA control. CIMPLICITY 7.5 (SCADA software) has been used to ...
