"EMDAS" - Energy Management & Data Aquisition System
The EMDAS system is an acquisition and monitoring system for metered inputs from power generation plants. It has a complete measurement and storage environment. It's reporting facilities include hourly, daily and ad-hoc reports generated by the users.
It consists of an integral information system with all the capabilities of a relational database including SQL (Structured Query Language), for easy access to stored data.
The main function of EMDAS is to provide accurate information on an hourly basis and summary reports, which are user definable.
This information is used in the calculation of the actual power outputs and results in an associated invoice
System Components
The system consists of a data acquisition system based on the InterBus or Beckhoff field bus with a storage system, which incorporates the Microsoft SQL Server relational database. Due to the use of a field bus system, it has been possible to distribute the acquisition system, and retain the high-speed communication between the major components. The relational database design allows for flexible reporting and queries, which may be composed using standard graphical utilities or SQL (Structured Query Language). There are static and dynamic tables, which hold static data such as signal-input descriptions, and dynamic data such as the actual readings, and current values of the inputs.
EMDAS Static Tables
EMDAS Dynamic Tables
Hourly Log: This log occurs automatically every hour and is derived from an integration of the various inputs over the hour and followed by a reset of the value. Since the GPS clock is used for this, the values are guaranteed to occur within 1ms of the hour, and every hour. It is possible to call up any previous hour, up to approximately 3 months back, via this method.
Daily Log: This log runs from midnight to midnight of the same input metering signals as the hourly log. By selecting this icon on the toolbar, or via the menu, the previous day's daily summary log is displayed. Utilizing the Historical feature, it is possible to request a daily summary, which is available in the SQL Server (typically 1 year).
Historical Log: This log allows ad-hoc queries, which are only limited by the time frame of the stored values in the database. It is possible to select the exact starting time and date, and the end date and time. By selecting the OK button, a query is generated and the results appear on the screen. A combination of hourly values, over any time period is presented to the user.
