|  Elna Company, the AdAstra's authorized  system integrator, has developed a new serial project: the process control system for low-capacity gas-turbine power plants up to 12 MW.
 The developers believe that the implementation of such system will provide a tremendous economic effect: in Russia such system allows to reduce the cost of electricity in 1000 times. The gas-turbine power plant  process control system has been developed on the PC-based PLC ELPK,  manufactured by Elna and the integrated SCADA/HMI & Softlogic system TRACE MODE 5, by AdAstra Research Group. The main tasks of this process control system are the following: - continuous acquisition and preliminary data processing;- diagnostics of hardware and software at all system levels;
 - emergency alarm signalling and logging of emergency events, including the electric part of the project;
 - history logging;
 - remote control.
 The first gas-turbine power plant process control systems have been implemented in Rybinsk Motor Plant (Russia) and Saturn company (Russia). |
