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 has provided SCADA systems for 25 biogas fueled power plants and
11 landfill gas flare stations.
SCS
Energy is a Registered
WonderWare System Integrator

OII
Landfill Control SCADA System
Owner: New Cure, Inc.
Location: Monterey Park, California |
 
|
This
project included the design and installation of an
integrated control system in support of
a 420 kW microturbine power plant and the
associated fuel pretreatment system.
Additionally, the control system incorporated
existing site operations, including a 6,000 scfm
flare station and a 20,000 GPD leachate plant.
A
wired and wireless Ethernet network is utilized to
communicate with a variety of PLCs 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.

North
Island Naval Base SCADA System
Owner: U.S. Navy
Location: San Diego, California

This
project includes the design and installation of an
integrated 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
Owner: Waste Management, Inc.
Location: Sun Valley, California
|
|
This
project involved the integration of multiple
existing LFG utilization and management operations
into a single control system. Operations included three flare stations,
LFG pressurization and cooling equipment to serve
a 6 MW power plant, a condensate treatment
system, and a 2,000 scfm compressor to serve an
off-site power plant. 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. 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
Owner: San Diego Public Works Department
Location: San Diego, California
|
|
This
project involved replacing the control systems at
ten existing LFG blower/flare stations. One
site also hosted four LFG fired microturbines.
Sites
with obsolete hardware were retrofitted new PLCs.
A Data Acquisition and Management System was
installed at each site. The PLCs communicated
with the DAMS which collects and stores
data. Data can be retrieved over the internet 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.
