The Krasnodar heat and power plant launched a control system for the 2nd power unit that was developed using SCADA TRACE MODE system and the RK-131/300M controllers. The system was deployed during overhaul at the 2nd power unit.
The Krasnodar heat and power plant is owned by Yuzhnaya Generation Company – TGK-8 and remains the largest power station in this region. The station provides 60% of power consumed by the city of Krasnodar, while the cash cost of its power is significantly lower compared to the power generated by the smaller boilers of this Kuban capital. The 2nd power unit capacity is 113 MW.
A team of YugOGRES engineers, ensured professional design and setup of the control system for the power unit at the Krasnodar heat and power plant. A standard setup was extended by adding additional operator level workplaces.
It took four control engineers and just two months to use SCADA TRACE MODE 6 system for designing the operator level of the control system for the power unit at the Krasnodar heat and power plant.
The units below employ the automated control:
- TGM-94 boiler;
- K-160-130 turbine.
The control system includes:
- 7 RK-131/300M controllers;
- one operator's workstation;
- one active and one redundant communication path with RS-485 interface;
- 77 analog signals;
- 88 discreet signals;
- 19 control circuits.
At the operator level at the Krasnodar heat and power plant is powered by SCADA TRACE MODE 6.05 RTM+ for Windows offering 512 input/output points. This enables the capabilities below:
- request and acquisition of analog and discreet signals from the power unit;
- displaying analog and discreet signals;
- displaying signal validation attributes, alerts and alarms;
- logging values and alerts;
- graphic display of analog and discreet signals;
- manual and automated control.
When designing and setting up the control system for the power unit at the heat and power plant, the development team worked closely with AdAstra Research Group, Ltd support team to quickly solve the issues.
SCADA TRACE MODE is certified for use in control systems for power units and widely used for control systems in boilers, boiler units and power units at the heat and power plants across Russia and CIS countries. |
The new 220 MW combined cycle plant was launched at the Tyumen Heating Plant (HP) -1. The power plant built at the Tyumen HP-1 is the second biggest combined cycle unit in Russia. The newest combined cycle technology used in the project will allow to reduce the specific fuel consumption for the generation of electricity on the whole at the Tyumen HP-1 by 12%, improve the efficiency and decrease the number of hazardous emissions into the atmosphere by 2.5-3 times (for NOx). 
AdAstrA Research Group has released a new SCADA TRACE MODE runtime module, TRACE MODE Data Center, providing remote access to real-time control system information using web-browser via Internet/Intranet or wireless networks (GSM, GPRS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth).
New free of charge drivers for TOSHIBA TOSVERT series frequency converters are added to the TRACE MODE SCADA/HMI software and published at the AdAstra Web site for download:
On January 30, 2007, a new release of the integrated SCADA-system TRACE MODE 6.05 has been made available, both in Professional and Standard editions. 
AdAstra Company (Russia) announced the release of real-time monitor (LinRTM) for the operating system Linux. 
AdAstrA Research Group, Ltd made available an external driver for Micro TRACE MODE 6 industrial controller programming system. This driver is designed to connect WinCon 8000 controller to sensors and flowmeters using a popular HART protocol. 
AdAstrA Research Group announces the release of the long awaited product - TRACE MODE 6 OPC server. The new product provides access to the real time data of any servers and PLCs programmed in TRACE MODE and T-Factory.
