由于對控制技術的關注和擁有大量的SCADA水水處理安裝經(jīng)驗，艾默生的SCADA解決方案能提供更好的風力發(fā)電廠資產(chǎn)管理。 弗吉尼亞匹茲堡2007年12月20日消息，艾默生管理公司于當天宣布將Ovation® SCADA用于風能管理。Ovation SCADA系統(tǒng)具有一級的監(jiān)視器，及用于優(yōu)化風場運轉的控制和診斷功能。針對風能管理的SCADA系統(tǒng)是艾默生用于可回收能源SCADA解決方案投資組合的一部分，還包括水力和太陽能及其它的管理。 用于風能管理的Ovation SCADA解決方案的推出時間非常適宜。世界風力協(xié)會預期在2010年，使所安裝的總風能發(fā)電量從2006年的74,000 MW增長到160,000 MW，增長近54％。艾默生電力水力解決方案部門總裁Bob Yeager說：“作為一個能源公司，通過增加每個農(nóng)場或多風場操作的發(fā)電機而實現(xiàn)效率提高，他們需要非常有效的管理，所以資產(chǎn)的有效管理就變得非常重要?！? Yeager解釋說：“除在單個風場優(yōu)化操作之外，Ovation SCADA系統(tǒng)還可被用于管理整個風場。連接大量活動風場的能力對于公司領導者或操作中心來說，可以更多的提高效率的機會，節(jié)省成本，使資產(chǎn)管理更有效?！? Ovation SCADA系統(tǒng)支持來自所有主要OEM的風力渦輪發(fā)電機，以及多種通信網(wǎng)絡，如撥號上網(wǎng)，租用線路及無線電。Ovation SCADA提供遠程啟動、重啟和標記單獨風力渦輪發(fā)電機的能力，最小化現(xiàn)場人力的使用。當某種預告確定的現(xiàn)場情況已達到，保護性的監(jiān)測關閉將由Ovation SCADA系統(tǒng)自動管理。例如：振動可由來自Ovation SCADA系統(tǒng)的氣象數(shù)據(jù)進行監(jiān)控。當振動超過安全操作限度時，Ovation SCADA系統(tǒng)就會使渦輪機關閉，以避免任何設備或是區(qū)域的損害。 來自渦輪機的診斷信息，通過網(wǎng)絡界面滿足塔和分站的需求。診斷信息被存儲在Ovation歷史記錄里，允許用戶圖形化創(chuàng)造趨于監(jiān)控各種設備和狀況。SCADA系統(tǒng)允許用戶跟蹤風力渦輪發(fā)電機的維護進度表及歷史記錄，并訪問用戶的報告。艾默生的SCADA系統(tǒng)還提供一個基于所知因素之上的預測預定時期潛在產(chǎn)量的工具，如風速、風向和其它渦輪發(fā)電機的狀況。 艾默生是唯一一個將SCADA系統(tǒng)用于剛剛起步的風力發(fā)電市場。從電力前景上看，艾默生是原油、核能及 300,000 MW發(fā)電能力選擇性能源發(fā)電廠控制系統(tǒng)的領先提供商，等同于美國平均高峰期需要的40％。艾默生還是蒸汽和鍋爐給泵渦輪控制解決方案設計、安裝的領導者。 從SCADA前景看，許多主要城市領域如：底特律、芝加哥、圣地亞哥和華盛頓D.C.，都將依賴于Ovation SCADA系統(tǒng)檢查大型、復雜的水和水處理架構。 Yeager說：“當其成為監(jiān)督控制和遙控解決方案時，沒有其它任何的系統(tǒng)可與艾默生提供的電力、渦輪和SCADA經(jīng)驗相媲美。作為電力能源投資組合多樣化的創(chuàng)造者，他們可以感覺到依賴艾默生會很安全，” [FONT=times] original text [/FONT] [font=times] Emerson Introduces Ovation® SCADA Solution for Wind Energy Management [/font] [font=times][Color=#708090]Drawing on power-focused control technologies and experience with large SCADA water/wastewater installations, Emerson’s SCADA solution offers better management of wind farm assets PITTSBURGH, PA （December 20, 2007） — Emerson Process Management announced today the introduction of Ovation® SCADA for wind energy management. The Ovation SCADA system features state-of-the-art monitoring, control and diagnostic functionality that optimizes wind farm operations. The SCADA system for wind energy management is part of Emerson’s portfolio of SCADA solutions for renewable energy, which also includes hydro power and solar power, among others. The introduction of the Ovation SCADA Solution for wind energy management comes at an opportune time. The World Wind Energy Association expects total installed capacity for wind energy to grow from roughly 74,000 MW in 2006 to 160,000 MW in 2010 – an increase of nearly 54 percent. As energy companies expand power production by increasing the number of generators per farm or operating multiple wind farms, their need to efficiently and effectively manage those assets becomes progressively more important, according to Bob Yeager, president of the Power & Water Solutions division of Emerson. "In addition to optimizing operations at individual wind farms, the Ovation SCADA system can also be utilized to manage an entire fleet of wind farms,” Yeager explained. “The ability to connect a number of active wind farms to their corporate headquarters or operations centers offers further opportunities for increased efficiency, cost savings and better overall management of assets.” The Ovation SCADA system supports wind turbine generators from all major OEMs, as well as multiple communication network types, such as dial-up, leased lines and wireless. The Ovation SCADA system offers the capability to remotely start, stop, reset and tag out individual wind turbine generators, minimizing labor-intensive site visits. Protective supervisory shutdown is automatically conducted by the Ovation SCADA system when certain predefined site conditions are reached. For example, vibration conditions can be monitored through meteorological data obtained from a met tower interface to the Ovation SCADA system. When the vibrations exceed a safe operating limit, the Ovation SCADA system activates a shutdown of the turbine to avoid any equipment or area damage. Diagnostic information generated from the turbine, met tower and substation is available from the Ovation SCADA system through network interfaces. Diagnostic information, which is stored in the Ovation Historian, allows for the creation of custom graphical trends to monitor various equipment and conditions on the farm. The SCADA system allows users to track wind turbine generator maintenance schedules and histories, and access custom reports. Emerson’s SCADA system also provides a tool that forecasts the production potential for a predefined time period based on known factors, such as wind speed, wind direction and the condition of the turbine generator. Emerson is uniquely qualified to offer its SCADA system for application in the burgeoning wind power market. From a power perspective, Emerson is a leading supplier of control systems for fossil, nuclear and alternative energy power generating facilities, with control systems installed in plants representing roughly 300,000 MW of generating capacity, which is equivalent to 40 percent of average peak demand in the United States. Emerson is also a leader in the design, installation and support of steam, gas and boiler feedpump turbine control solutions. From a SCADA perspective, a number of major metropolitan areas – including Detroit, Chicago, San Diego and Washington, D.C. – rely on city-wide Ovation SCADA systems to oversee large, complex water and wastewater infrastructures that require monitoring of up to 100 remote sites. "When it comes to supervisory control and remote monitoring solutions, no one else can come close to the combination of power, turbine and SCADA experience Emerson offers,” said Yeager. “As power producers diversify their energy portfolios, they can feel comfortable relying on Emerson – a familiar name with decades of relevant experience – for all their control needs.” [/color][/font]
