SCADA APPLICATION FOR GEOTHERMAL POWER PLANT

Device process and control in industries need a fast response to the existing situation or changes occurring in doing such as activities as supervision, control, and data recording simultaneously. The advancement of computer network technology gives a strong impact in the revolution of real time control system. Nowadays, almost all modern industries in the world use SCADA-based control system for supervising industrial process performance. Visualization of geothermal power plant (GPP) principles are presented in this study. The SCADA system application is designed using Wonderware Intouch version 10 software, which also presents the cooling and generating systems of the GPP. There are 162 components being controlled equipped with security system, real-time trend, historical trend, and real-time alarm features. The application developed gives comprehensive information on the status of the GPP control process devices. In addition, the status of temperature, pressure, and fluid mass flow from the data fluid can also be acquired in real-time. The SCADA system application in GPP is expected to be able to give a lot of benefits for engineers in need of in-depth understanding on the process of energy flow in the GPP.
