Power Management using PLC and SCADA

Operation, control and protection system can be implemented to cover various industries starting from small scale industries to wide area operation and controlling. Power Control operation with Supervis ory Control Data Acquisition (SCADA) System is mandatory to run smooth heater control in industries. High scale SCADA system with enhanced features not only used for wide area system operation, but also covers Distribution Management System (DMS), Energy Management System (EMS), various Network Applications and Metering Management systems. This implementation includes power management for such industries using PLC and SCADA system. Control algorithm measures critical parameters and adjust variable outputs to optimize power by turning ON/OFF the heater with improved performance. Further electricity cost further reduces by around 5%. PLC and SCADA is used to model and realize the complete system and perform the experiment for result analysis.
