[ Year: 2025 ]

[ Country: Ukraine ]

[ Industry: Energy industry ]

Key Features:

construction of a unified process control system for the facility;
integration of cogeneration units, engineering systems, and auxiliary equipment operations;
automation of power generation, distribution, and transmission processes;
ensuring synchronous operation of multiple CHP units within a single energy complex;
enhancing the reliability, safety, and operational efficiency of the equipment.

Implementation:

Primary automation system (CHP control):

installation of local control cabinets for each cogeneration unit;
deployment of a synchronization cabinet that coordinates the operation of all CHP units and ensures their aligned performance within the system.

Engineering process control system:

automation of ventilation systems and air handling units;
pump group management:
- oil supply systems;
- circulation and cooling systems;
- coolant transportation systems from the waste heat recovery boiler.

Instrumentation and Control (I&C):

installation of sensors for pressure, temperature, flow, and other parameters;
connection of I&C devices to the Process Control System (PCS);
configuration of data collection and processing;
implementation of energy metering systems: natural gas consumption metering, as well as supplied electrical and thermal energy metering.

Integration and commissioning:

integration of all systems into a unified PCS;
setup of a remote operator workstation at the central control panel;
configuration of control algorithms and emergency response protocols;
execution of commissioning works.

Result:

A unified automated control system has been implemented, ensuring stable, synchronous, and safe operation of the cogeneration units and auxiliary equipment.

The following has been achieved:
