SCS Energy custom designs and installs hardware and software to configure project-specific Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems for distributed energy and environmental projects.  SCS Energy's SCADA systems allow off-site monitoring and control, through the internet, using a conventional PC, via dial-up or high speed connection.  The following are examples of SCADA systems deployed in environmental project applications.  All of SCS Energy's design/construct energy projects employ SCS Energy SCADA systems.

SCS Energy is a Registered

OII Landfill Control SCADA System
Microturbine Power Plant, Thermal Oxidizer, 
and Leachate Treatment Plant

This project includes the design and installation of an integrated electronic control system in support of a 420 kW microturbine power plant and the associated fuel pre-treatment system.  Additionally, the control system incorporated existing site operations, including a 6,000 scfm thermal oxidizer, a 20,000 GPD leachate plant, and a remote booster blower station.

A wired and wireless Ethernet network is utilized to communicate with a variety of PLCs and controllers to a central server.  A site-specific HMI interface was developed using Wonderware Software Tools.  A data server uses Industrial SQL to compress and supply data to a Microsoft SQL database.  Custom trends and status reports are made available locally and remotely through Active Factory.  The alarm system uses SCADA Alarm for custom dial-out messages and e-mail notification.

Software Utilized:

Wonderware Software Tools

  • InTouch

  • Industrial SQL

  • Active Factory

  • SCADAlarm

  • I/O Servers

Microsoft SQL

Windows 2000 Server

Internet Tunneling Software

North Island Naval Base SCADA System
Steam Enhanced Vapor Extraction and Treatment System

This project includes the design and installation of an integrated electronic control system in support of a 25,000 scfm steam enhanced vapor extraction and treatment system.  The control system incorporated Allen Bradley PLC technology and a Wonderware Human Machine Interface with access and logging of over 350 interface points.

The PLC communicates over an Ethernet network to site specific HMI interface developed using the Wonderware Software Tools. The data server utilizes a Microsoft SQL database with Industrial SQL compression software to record data at a 100-millisecond resolution. Custom trends and status reports are made available locally and remotely through Active Factory.  The alarm system uses SCADA Alarm for custom dial-out messages and e-mail notification.

Bradley Landfill SCADA System
Blower/Flare Stations, Gas Cooler, Condensate Incineration System

This project involved the integration of multiple existing LFG operations in support of a new power plant. Operations included three flare stations, gas cooler equipment, 6 MW power plant, and a condensate treatment system. The project required communication between multiple PLCs including Allen Bradley, GE Fanuc, and PLC Direct.

The PLCs communicate over an Ethernet network to a site- specific Human Machine Interface (HMI) interface developed using Wonderware Software Tools. The data server utilizes a Microsoft SQL database with Industrial SQL compression software to record data. Custom trends and status reports are made available locally and remotely through Active Factory.  The alarm system uses SCADA Alarm for custom dial-out messages and e-mail notification.

San Diego County SCADA System
Blower/Flare Stations, Condensate Injection Systems, and Microturbine Power Plant

This project involved the integration of ten existing LFG blower/flare stations in support of a web based user interface.  The sites all had LFG flares installed, while a single site also had four LFG fired microturbines.  The project required communication between the remote sites and a central office server where data is warehoused, processed for reporting, and posted to a secure website.

Sites with obsolete hardware were retrofitted with a PLC controller, and a data acquisition and management system was installed at each site.  The PLC’s communicated with the DAMS which collected data, then forwarded the data to the central server via an internet VPN tunnel.  Key features of the DAMS were its fault tolerant properties and its auto recovery feature.  The system can recover from a power or communications outage with a minimal loss of data.
