Abstract

Based on SIMATIC S7-313C programmable logic controller (PLC) and SIMATIC TP 177B operating touch panel (HMI), this work presents an automation solution for monitoring and controlling a micro hydro power plant (MHC). Using the specified PLC and HMI, there was implemented a reliable automated system, which produces about 120 KWH of green energy, 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. The system was developed, tested and commissioned at ZANOAGA Drinking Water Treatment Plant and the owner is APASERV VALEA JIULUI.
