Diseño e implementación de sistemas SCADA con LabVIEW para la turbina turgo y el generador en el laboratorio de turbomaquinaria hidráulica de la Facultad de Mecánica de la ESPOCH.

Abstract

This research describes the design and the implementation of the SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) with LabVIEW systems for the Turgo Turbine and the generator of the Hydraulic Turbomachinery Lab in the Mechanics Faculty in the ESPOCH. The first step was to select the elements to work in the signals acquisition when the turbine and the generator start working in order to choose the correct physical measurement needed for the electric energy generation system mainly pressure and temperature since some of the instruments are not manufactured to work with high temperatures and pressure. The level of water in the reserve tank was also consider since it must have an adequate rank to work correctly and avoid any kind of incident. This design was developed in the Hydraulic Machinery Lab in the Mechanic Faculty, it is mainly based on the data acquisition of the electric generation system operation. This process was developed by using a device which makes this work, and the HMI (Human Machine Interface) made through LabVIEW was completed. Finally, a maintenance plan for the components of this system was made, based on the recommendation of each manufacturer and according to the operation conditions of the elements. The equipment must be turned on quickly to avoid damage and incrustations in the pipe lines and bearings of the generator.
