Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power Plant SCADA Systems

[@Hatanpaa140]

I really like the Nervous System analogy. Really helped me wrap my head around SCADA. Hard to put all the pieces together when I'm trying to learn SCADA, EMS, RTUs, ICCP, and more!

[@SCADASupportPh]

@Hatanpaa yeah, the Nervous system analogy was from my mentor - Robert, and it really stikes me as the best analogy. I'd say start with the SCADA Architecture, and consider all those components as I/O devices. good luck on your learning, make sure to have fun!

For a typical 300 MW solar power plant, with substation 33kV/220kV what will be the cost for the scada system including engineering, hardware, commissioning, and software.

[@SCADASupportPh]

@SaeedAhmed the overall cost of the SCADA system varies due to a lot of factors: Engineering and Commissioning - this will be more dependent on your preferred contractor as you'll be paying for Manpower and skillset. Hardware - dependent on the type of HW to be used ; types of cables and or connections (fiber, ethernet, wireless etc), Meters, Data Loggers, Virtual Machines, PPC (power plant controllers). the price would also double if you'd consider setting up a redundant network. Software - for those passive devices (Smart Meters, RTACs, etc) there is already an OEM software bundled with the hardware. However, for your main SCADA Application, this is separate and will be defined by the number of tags you need. Historization is also a separate package as well as Alarming and /or Events Generation. All of the above would also vary depending on your geographical location as some equipment and manpower cost may differ from one another.

@@SCADASupportPh thanks dear for your detail response. Just a rough estimation in dollars, how much it will be. Can you please share the price range. Location will be middle East.

[@saidsorour1097]

thanks for your informative video. may you let me know where could i get Scada for on grid solar plant 80 kw? i live in Kuwait

[@SCADASupportPh]

@saidsorour1097 I would recommend to check out these solutions: www.inaccess.com/scada/ n3uron.com/

[@lejlamony]

Hi. I need scada for on grid sola plant 155kw where to buy it.

[@SCADASupportPh]

@lejlamony, thank you for your inquiry. Would you be able to share where the plant would be located? This will give us a good baseline and help scout local suppliers for you to evaluate.

[@lejlamony]

Hi. Location is in Bosnia. Regards

[@SCADASupportPh]

@lejlamony since the location is within Southeastern Europe, I would recommend to check out these solutions: www.inaccess.com/scada/ n3uron.com/ Hope this helps

Can you please explain GC.

@SaeedAhmed SCADA Grid Controller is an absolute requirement for Plants from

[@saeedahmed4651]

@@SCADASupportPh nice explanation. Is there any documents that you can share gives little bit more insight about Grid controller hardwares, or communication diagram.

[@SCADASupportPh]

@@saeedahmed4651 RTACs are the most common, those SEL 3530 & SEL 3530-4(selinc.com/products/3530/) that are in-between the SCADA and the substation relays. For large power plants wherein a capacitor bank is required- for the V ratio changes on the high and low side, you should have a load tap changer (LTC). (www.reinhausen.com/productdetail/on-load-tap-changers/tapmotion-ed) Transformer monitoring is a must too (smsystems.co.in/qualitrol-SERVERON-TM8-on-line-DGA-monitor.html) On the subject of documentation, most of the documents I've used are more proprietary, so I would refer you to online / public documentation for those related hardware, or make sure to have a generalized video presentation.

where is placed panel photovoltaic?

[@SCADASupportPh]

@andreipacala the PV are mounted in the ARRAY. Further explanation can be found on this separate video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWKVnWyAaNV_f7c

can i have this pdf? pls

Thank you for the inquiry @xicor_ly, unfortunately, my backup copies were purged from my hard drive, so this video is the only copy available.
