Abstract

 

After a presentation of the functionality of a supervisory system for complex processes, we present the concepts of a supervisory control and data acquisition(SCADA) system. An application of supervision of a counting system of the natural gas (NG) of a thermal power plant (TPP) in Tunisia was realized. The paper briefly discusses the different steps of this application and some advantages of SCADA systems used in TPPs.

Key words: Supervision, thermal power plant, counting system, natural gas, SCADA.
