Integrated process
solution to ensure the measurement, monitoring and optimization of energy
process operations (oil and gas pipelines, on shore platforms, distribution
networks…)
Energy process control solution for energy and
water utilities infrastructures are dedicated to operators or EPC and provide
reliable and secure solutions for the operations and supervision of plants,
pipelines, platforms and networks efficiently in a cost-effective way.
Elaborated for large and complex projects, the
Energy Process Control Solution provides key systems and technologies such as
open and evolutive SCADA application. This allows to optimize the monitoring of
energy process networks, to reuse the existing client systems/applications and
to integrate with new functions like infrastructure protection, resource
management, information system or maintenance applications.
Thales approach consists of a modular
solution based on Thales in house supervision systems/multi level SCADA
integrated in a command and control centre.
Main characteristics to
design the Process Control of energy infrastructures:
> MEASURE: Critical information from infrastructure
acquired in real time by sets of sensors (SCADA, DCS, PLC, RTU, telecommunication
data backbone, field instrumentation…)
> MONITOR: Information centralized for real time monitoring
control in a unique point accessible to the dispatching operators, maintenance
team…
> OPTIMIZE: Modeling packages software which
offers advanced functionalities in order to optimize operations (business and
maintenance applications, ERP, crisis management…)
