introduction to scada for pv
00:00:28
systems we will start off by listing the
00:00:31
misconception about scada
00:00:35
it's not something that was built
00:00:38
based on magic
00:00:41
nor voodoo
00:00:43
nor a single piece of equipment
00:00:46
block box
00:00:47
a computer
00:00:51
or something like internet or
00:00:53
telecommunications
00:00:56
so what is scada then
00:00:58
scada is an acronym that stands for
00:01:01
supervisory control and data acquisition
00:01:06
it is a system
00:01:10
which is integrated an integrated set of
00:01:12
software hardware
00:01:14
network and control subsystems that work
00:01:18
together to provide real-time visibility
00:01:20
in control of a facility
00:01:23
like in this tutorial a pv or a
00:01:27
photovoltaic power plant
00:01:31
in other words
00:01:32
it's just a centralized system that
00:01:34
monitors and controls the entire plant
00:01:43
when we talk about scada we can
00:01:46
associate
00:01:47
its functionality to the human nervous
00:01:50
system
00:01:51
wherein
00:01:52
it is a network of neurons whose main
00:01:55
feature is to generate
00:01:58
modulate and transmit information
00:02:02
between all the different parts of the
00:02:05
human body
00:02:08
you have your fiber optic and ethernet
00:02:11
networks
00:02:14
that acts like nerves
00:02:16
and your sensors
00:02:19
are value
00:02:20
generators like mirrors and
00:02:22
weatherizations
00:02:24
acts as eyes
00:02:26
ears or skin
00:02:29
and your grid controllers
00:02:32
serves as the autonomic side of the
00:02:35
nervous system
00:02:38
then your operators
00:02:40
or end users of the data set
00:02:43
would be
00:02:44
your brain
00:02:46
and can then respond accordingly
00:02:51
let's illustrate the scada elements for
00:02:54
a photovoltaic flower plant
00:02:59
in this basic diagram for a pv plant
00:03:04
attributes such as
00:03:06
kilowatts
00:03:08
voltage
00:03:10
operating status
00:03:12
and alarms
00:03:15
are being pulled from the inputs
00:03:18
like what you have on the left
00:03:21
your inverse
00:03:23
and those data sets are being
00:03:26
transmitted to
00:03:28
the scada server rack on the right
00:03:32
through a fiber line
00:03:36
via modbus tcp
00:03:39
this also shows the essential
00:03:41
communication elements
00:03:43
like communication module interfaces
00:03:46
as well as network switches
00:03:52
in addition
00:03:53
live data parameters such as irradiance
00:03:58
wind speed
00:03:59
ambient temperature
00:04:01
and all that relates to your weather
00:04:04
station on the left
00:04:06
are also being collected
00:04:11
adding more functionality such as
00:04:13
controls
00:04:17
we now have grid controllers and relays
00:04:19
that would enable the user to send set
00:04:22
points
00:04:23
and breaker operations
00:04:27
with those information now available on
00:04:29
the scada server rack
00:04:32
you can also configure it to send those
00:04:34
parameters out to the internet
00:04:38
once
00:04:39
this has been configured properly
00:04:42
your data is now accessible
00:04:45
anywhere and remote operators
00:04:49
can now access the site remotely
00:04:52
as from there we can transmit the data
00:04:54
over the internet
00:04:58
in this slide we can associate those
00:05:00
equipments to their physical location in
00:05:03
the pv plant
00:05:05
namely the operations and maintenance
00:05:08
building at the right wherein we would
00:05:11
typically place those scada servers and
00:05:14
telecommunication equipments
00:05:17
your array on the left
00:05:20
which
00:05:20
are field devices that are located out
00:05:23
in the field
00:05:24
like inverse your solar panels
00:05:28
weather stations and trackers
00:05:31
and
00:05:32
you have your substation control
00:05:34
building at the bottom
00:05:36
where you have your relays
00:05:39
and grid controllers
00:05:44
in this section we will discuss briefly
00:05:46
the core elements
00:05:48
or
00:05:49
aspects to be taken in consideration
00:05:52
when putting up a functional scada
00:05:54
system
00:06:00
first we have engineering
00:06:03
when it comes to the core
00:06:05
engineering plays a big role as this
00:06:08
involves
00:06:09
balance of the plant
00:06:11
substation automation
00:06:13
as well as network and
00:06:16
telecommunications
00:06:19
the ideal scada system should have an
00:06:21
integrated data system
00:06:24
telemetry and control systems for
00:06:27
utility interconnections
00:06:29
this should also have the support for
00:06:32
system owners
00:06:34
and
00:06:35
third
00:06:36
party data feeds
00:06:38
using opc
00:06:40
the np3
00:06:42
modbus
00:06:43
and other communication protocols
00:06:48
nowadays teleprotections and network
00:06:51
security
00:06:52
is becoming a standard
00:06:55
your scada system should have a cyber
00:06:58
security
00:06:59
best practices
00:07:01
using encryption
00:07:03
network vlan segmentation
00:07:06
and
00:07:07
permit by exception policies
00:07:12
when it comes to hardware considerations
00:07:16
a rovus scale server rack is needed for
00:07:20
large pv plants
00:07:23
virtual machines are more suitable
00:07:25
due to their flexibility and
00:07:28
manageability
00:07:30
credit controllers plc's are definitely
00:07:33
needed for controls
00:07:37
as for the weather station
00:07:39
there is already a wide range of
00:07:41
equipments we can choose from
00:07:46
if in case we need real-time automation
00:07:51
our tank is the best way to go
00:07:55
if you have a large-scale pv plant
00:07:59
distance from the substation building
00:08:01
where your equipments are should be
00:08:02
considered as they will be connected to
00:08:05
the inverters out in the field
00:08:08
this is where fiber line comes into play
00:08:12
and are being terminated through the
00:08:14
scada communications panel
00:08:19
commissioning comes next as this will be
00:08:22
the foundation of your system's
00:08:24
performance
00:08:25
throughout your system's lifecycle
00:08:30
you should have a good system acceptance
00:08:33
testing
00:08:34
procedure
00:08:36
and monitor your power plan startup and
00:08:40
lastly
00:08:42
compile your documentation and execute a
00:08:45
formal handoff
00:08:46
to your operations and maintenance team
00:08:53
on the subject of a software features
00:08:57
here we list down all the essential
00:09:00
functions of the scada software
00:09:03
it should have a comprehensive alarm and
00:09:06
event management system for example the
00:09:09
scada system quickly notifies an
00:09:11
operator that a batch of a product is
00:09:14
showing a high incidence of errors
00:09:18
the operator then can pause the
00:09:20
operation and view the scada system data
00:09:24
via an hmi
00:09:26
to determine the cause of the issue
00:09:30
on the historicization
00:09:33
scada software that utilizes the power
00:09:36
of sql databases provides huge
00:09:39
advantages
00:09:41
one big advantage of using sql databases
00:09:45
with a scada system
00:09:47
is that it makes it easier to integrate
00:09:50
into existing mes and erp systems
00:09:55
allowing data to flow seamlessly through
00:09:58
an entire organization
00:10:02
historical data from scada system can
00:10:04
also be logged in a sql database
00:10:08
which allows for easier data analysis
00:10:13
through data trending
00:10:16
for controls
00:10:18
ideally we would need a fast acting
00:10:21
and fault tolerant grid control systems
00:10:25
this should have features like closed
00:10:27
loop curtailment
00:10:29
power factor
00:10:31
reactive power and run plate controls
00:10:38
as a summary
00:10:39
the main goal of this
00:10:42
supervisory system is to monitor and
00:10:45
control equipment within the pv plant
00:10:49
and its core functions are
00:10:52
data acquisition
00:10:55
network data communication
00:11:01
data presentation
00:11:08
and lastly controls
00:11:14
these are the four
00:11:16
core functions
00:11:17
of a scada system
