Abstract

The monitoring and control of all industrial processes in today's society is an essential requirement to achieve efficient productivity. The main objective of the work is to design a SCADA system for the chemical water treatment plant of the Thermoelectric Power Plant “Jose Marti”. For this, the architecture and the SCADA were designed, the results and contributions obtained from the tests carried out were evaluated. In the work, the PLC M221CE24R was used, which has very good computational performance and an adequate cost/benefit ratio. The design was carried out using the Eros Cuban development platform, version 5.11, and the Modbus TCP/IP protocol was used for communication between the automaton and the Eros. The SCADA that was designed allows to know in real time the parameters and alarms of the plant and the same actions can be executed locally and remotely. For what is viable and necessary, because it guarantees technological independence. The simulation and the tests carried out, both in the laboratory and in situ, validate its functionality and it is designed in a scalable and flexible way to assimilate future extensions.

Highlights

  • Today, the basis of electricity generation in Cuba is constituted by thermoelectric plants [1]

  • The design was carried out using the Eros Cuban development platform, version 5.11, and the Modbus TCP/IP protocol was used for communication between the automaton and the Eros

  • The SCADA system designed for the supervision of the chemical water treatment plant of the thermoelectric power plant “José Martí” is viable and necessary, since nowadays new technological solutions are created that allow a better use, rational use and saving of supplies

Summary

Introduction

The basis of electricity generation in Cuba is constituted by thermoelectric plants [1]. The efficiency with which steam boilers operate and their operating cost, the safety of their operation and their durability, depends to a large extent on the quality of the water with which they are fed [3]. This water requires a special quality, so its treatment is essential. Chemical water treatment plants are installed in each of the CTEs with the aim of purifying and demineralizing it
