Keep your hydro-electric power plant under control

zenon Energy Edition from COPA-DATA can assist in hydro-electric power plant automation, by monitoring, controlling and optimizing hydro-electric power plants. The level of control it provides helps reduce plant operational costs and increases productivity.

 

The monitoring and control of hydro-electric power plants with their specific output data is a particular challenge. zenon offers SCADA functionalities that increases efficiency – from project configuration through to visualization and control, to reporting. You can use the system to control individual power plants or different plants in a higher-level system.

 

Combine process automation and energy generation

You will save time and aggravation as zenon communicates with components of the energy generation and distribution while providing connections to process automation components, all in one application. With our extensive in-house driver library, you can connect all subsections of a hydro-electric power plant in a system directly – without a gateway. The system supports command processing, including driver-specific functions such as “Select Before Operate”. Additionally, zenon supports the display of hydraulic schematics that have been imported from AUTOCAD, for example, as well as the use of faceplates for motor and pumping controllers.

Use zenon Energy Edition for effective and secure operation of substations – locally or remotely. For electrical substations and switchyards of any scale, you will benefit from quick project configuration, simple operation, and maximum reliability.

 

 

Full control and situational awareness at any scale

zenon Energy Edition from COPA-DATA is the ideal complement for any PAC (protection, automation and control) installation. This substation automation system is perfectly suited for various tasks in the substation domain, such as:

  • Substation HMI for local as well as remote operation
  • Control Room (SCADA) applications, for advanced supervision of cross-regional substation infrastructure or in conjunction with 3rd party systems
  • Protocol Gateway, to flexibly interface with higher-level control systems.

zenon energy edition: use in public transportation management

zenon Energy Edition from COPA-DATA provides comprehensive solutions for the automation of substations in rail traffic as well as the control of tunnel backup systems. It also offers SCADA functionalities for public transportation control rooms and supports energy management in the transport field. With zenon public transportation management software, you can benefit from quick project configuration, easy operation and maximum security.

 

With zenon, rail power networks are controlled and maintained easily and economically. The system supports project configuration and automated control of substations in rail power networks. Additionally, zenon can be used in the monitoring of auxiliary systems in rail tunnels, such as the emergency power supply or fire alarm systems.

 

 Engineering – configure projects quickly without errors

Creating a project requires the design of many common objects, such as those for transformer fields and output fields. This is time-consuming and the repetitive work can lead to errors. zenon is structured in a completely object-orientated manner. You can create a robust library of common symbols and reuse them across projects. Integrate components, processes, and functions easily with the click of a button. You can also configure and maintain extensive projects quickly and efficiently. As a result, project development time can be significantly reduced.

 

The Command Sequencer can automate the execution of switching operations and avoids potential errors. You can use it to configure command sequences instead of programming them. This allows intuitive operation with a clear overview and avoids errors in command input. You can also create command sequences in a protected environment and fully test these as a simulation. Execution in live operation is carried out automatically. This prevents incorrect switching operations and increases the supply security.
