We are into building a Coal based Thermal Power Plant. We'll be having a centralised Distributed Control System for Boiler, Turbine and auxillaries. We'll have offsites Coal Handling, Ash Handling, Raw water Treatment etc. within One KM. Besides this, there is River water intake house and Water Reservior at a distance of 6 KM and 4 KM respectively. We plan to have independent redundant PLC's with HMI's for respective offsites.
How effective is the Control and Monitoring from DCS to respective PLC's by using OPC communication protocol. Are we having this type of setup anywhere, Power Plant or somewhere. How much is the Input/Output count. What could be the best Control System (DCS) for this. Can you suggest some better practice or effectiveness in the long run.
thanks & regards
