 ZAO PIK ZEBRA (Moscow, Russia) the AdAstrA's system partner has completed development and successfully implemented control system for the power unit 1 (800 MWt) at Talimardjan heat power plant (Uzbekistan). The control system is based on KRUIZ DCS and SOFTLOGIC and HMI software TRACE MODE. The technology engineering for the control system was provided by ORGRESS company (Moscow).
The Talimardjan heat power plant is the largest power plant in Central Asia. It is the first large heat power plant built in Uzbekistan for the last 13 years. The plant's heat capacity is equal to 3,2 GWt (four power units for 800 MWt). The power plant uses natural gas of the Shurtansky gas field.
The control system for the Talimardjan heat power plant (software for redundant DCS controllers and dozens of HMI PCs) is fully developed in TRACE MODE SCADA/HMI and SOFTLOGIC system. The overall information power of the power unit control system is equal to 11 500 tags, including:
- analogue inputs – 2867;
- digital inputs – 3344;
- analogue outputs – 26;
- digital outputs – 2239;
- actuator control – 941;
- protections – 304;
- technology blockings – 638;
- PID loops – 128;
- statistical values –1187.
The control system for the Talimardjan heat power plant is located in 29 cabinets, containing redundant controllers KRUIZ, operating under Micro TRACE MODE in the hot standby mode and in 16 cross cabinets. The HMI Talimardjan heat power plant control system is run under TRACE MODE Real time monitors and include 29 HMI PCs and video system with 4 video cubes. All control system components are connected by Ethernet network.
PIK ZEBRA company specializes in large scale and high complexity control system development for power industry. Before they implemented the following control systems:
 control system for power units 1, 2, 3, 4 (210 MWt) for Nassiria heat power plant (Iraq);
- control system for gas turbine power units for Tyumen heat power plant (Russia);
- control system for power units 1 for Pskov heat power plant (Russia).
In all above given projects TRACE MODE SOFTLOGIC and SCADA/HMI software was used.
Before launching the control system was thorougly tested on a full scale heat power unit 800 MWt simulator in the PIK ZEBRA moscow office. |
We wish a very Happy New Year for all AdAstra partners and users!
We wish all your dreams come true!
On 24 April, 2006 AdAstrA Research Group has opened the Beijing Representative office. The office will focus on technical support for Chinese users of TRACE MODE SCADA software and will co-ordinate building of the Chinese national network of system integrators and dealers. Special attention will be given to the close OEM co-operation with Chinese instrumentation companies. 
Baoshan Iron & Steel Plant is the biggest metal plant in China. In January 2004, a SCADA/HMI and softlogic process control system for air and oil supply to the rolling mill was successfully launched in the steel-rolling shop of Plant No. 3. The system has been developed by engineers of 
Advantech Corporation (Taiwan) has presented the Advantech eBuilding Automation System, the control system for its own office building in Beijing based on the Russian 
Elna Company, the AdAstra's authorized system integrator, has developed a new serial project: the process control system for low-capacity gas-turbine power plants up to 12 MW.
The Silian corporation, one of the main AdAstrA's OEM-partners in China, has completed the development of DCS-system at the Yong Xin Sugar factory in the Guang Xi province (China).
