ISCADA Implementation
Through the last few years of rendering various services to
its clients, DDSB has developed a niche solution i.e. an IP-Based
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (iSCADA) System and
GIS Mobile Field Force System for Managing Remote Assets. This
solution has the unique ability to consolidate data from all
asset types from all locations into a single database and Graphical
User Interface. Information to help address these challenges
are captured and made available to all levels of management
from any PC with an Internet connection
The key benefits of this solution are as follows:
Utilities Companies (Water Departments &
Electrical Companies)
- Water companies can use iSCADA to:
- Monitor water treatment plants, pump houses and reservoirs
- Monitor water pressure in water pipes
- Replace telemetry applications and simplify acquisition
of data from remote locations
- Perform trend analysis for water level, water pressure,
water quality and flow
- Provide remote control of various equipment such as
water pumps and valve equipments
- Electrical companies can use iSCADA to:
- Monitor smaller substation that are not connected to
its
- SCADA system (e.g. 11kV substation
Building owners
Uses ISCADA (integrated with its Building Management System)
to monitor
- Electrical system
- Energy consumption
- Power factor
- Instantaneous Power demand
- Security system such as cameras
- Humidity and temperature
- Air condition
|
- Fire protection system
- Generator
- Lift system
- PABX system
- Chiller system
- Cold water system
|
Telecomunication Companies
Uses iSCADA at their radio base stations, exchangers, and operational
buildings to monitor their mechanical and electrical (M&E)
equipments such as:
- Electrical system
- Energy consumption
- Power factor
- Instantaneous Power demand
- Security system such as cameras
- Humidity and temperatur
|
- Fire protection system
- Air conditioning
- Rectifiers
- Generator
|
The business benefits of DDSB
- Affordable - minimal capital and low, fixed monthly service
fees
- No requirement to purchase servers at each remote site
- No dedicated staff or retraining
- No application retooling
- Managed upgrade path
- Reduces lost revenues by eliminating or reducing operational
down-time
- Scalable - start with one asset and easily expand to all
assets
- Only use/pay for existing modules that have been developed
for your application (don't have to custom build/configure
from traditional "fit-all" application SCADA products)
- Greatly improves "Quality of Service"
- Data from any asset in any location
- Immediately notifies of alarm conditions or equipment shutdown
- Real-time 24X7 monitoring and alarming (cell phone, pager,
PDA, email)
- Historical data provides trending and aids in future system
