Arkhangelsk oblast, Oktyabrsky, Group of companies "ULK".
At the head enterprise of the Group of companies “ULK” an automatic control system of the heating unit has been introduced.
The system is designed to control heat supply by making the operation of technological equipment automatic. As a result, operational costs are reduced due to the technological equipment working with minimal staff presence.
The main functions of the system:
implementation of optimal heat supply modes by introducing the functions of automatic control of the technological equipment and technological parameters of the heat supply substation, also by maintaining the temperature schedule of heat supply;
prevention or reduction of damage from accidents due to the rapid identification of the sites and nature of accidents and, consequently, reducing the time for their confinement, containment and elimination of their consequences;
displaying on the control center screens of the reliable and on-time technological information for the prompt equipment control as well as the retrospective technological information for the analysis, optimization and planning of works on the heating unit equipment operation and repair;
reduction of the operational costs due to:
energy savings due to the regulation of the pump motors rotation frequency (using variable frequency drives)
heat resources savings due to the optimization of the heat supply process, also by correcting the supplied heat energy on the outside air temperature (temperature schedule)
reducing the number of emergency cases, the duration of forced equipment downtime periods and its repair costs by eliminating the “human factor” in technological equipment control as well as performing automatic diagnostics of all system elements
reducing the costs on system maintenance service as a whole due to the solution unification, using one and the same type of hardware and software
