Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System

The vendor is required to provide supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system for the design, installation, operation and maintenance of SCADA system at the state forge test site for a period of six months.
- Requirement:
•    Design, supply and install a SCADA system, as indicated in the site drawings and P&IDS, using widely accepted industry-standard protocols to provide full surveillance, data collection and control capability off site by the vendor at its control facility and at a backup station installed at the university.
•    Supply, install and monitor a real-time weather station to record wind speed, humidity, temperature, atmospheric pressure and precipitation. 
•    Supply, install and monitor video surveillance equipment and lighting to provide continuous observation and assessment of conditions at ten points on the site. 
•    Control two water injection (booster) pumps equipped with VFDs, used to add groundwater to the test loop to maintain volume. 
•    Connect to the plc provided by others for operating four high pressure injection pumps in a single location. 
•    Add instrumentation and remotely operated controls, as needed to enable SCADA system functionality, to the manually controlled air-cooled chiller provided by others. 
•    Connect to and operate up to six motor-operated valves on the 16a/b(78)-32 site, to be provided by others. 
•    These include at least two for which SCADA programming will be required to automatically open upon detection of specified upset conditions. 
•    Others will be manually actuated for other purposes such as draining lines. 
•    Control up to ten heater circuits to be installed by others for freeze protection. 
•    Monitor up to six fractional horsepower chemical injection pumps and shut them off in case of upset.
•    Supply, install and monitor up to twelve independent pressure and temperature sensors in the test loop, as indicated in the site drawings.
•    Sensors must withstand environmental temperatures -20 c to +50 c and have overrange protection. 
•    Supply, install and monitor instrumentation for two orifice flow meters in the loop. 
•    Validate the selection of orifice plates and flanges to be installed by others. 
•    Monitor and control operation of a groundwater well 58b-32, on the nearby 58-32 wellsite. 
•    The well 58b-32 site has a submersible pump, up to two storage tanks with level sensors, up to three motor operated valves, and a freeze protection circuit. 
•    Provide utility powerplant-standard human monitoring of the SCADA and visual surveillance systems whenever the test facility is in operation (i.e., 24/7) for six months. 
•    Provide on-site technician support within one hour of specified upset events. 
•    Provide 6:00 am daily operating reports, summarizing the previous 24-hours, to state forge management by 6:30 am.
