Energy Asset Management Equipment

BPL Global provides energy asset management equipment that connects hundreds of points in remote energy systems, such as distributed generation, energy storage and renewable energy, back to the operations center, service teams and engineering groups. We have an integrated system for fast and simple remote visualization of any device controller, field instrumentation or distributed control system, a protocol conversion device, an Ethernet backbone for connectivity between the remote system and the centralized operation and the HM; a human machine interface. Our deep understanding of complex protective schemes and, at the same time, utility and general industrial SCADA requirements allows us to effectively disseminating data to the right departments – for the right applications. Energy asset management improves electric service reliability while reducing operations and maintenance costs.

	HMI – Human Machine Interface The Human Machine Interface (HMI) is the window into the remote energy asset. The HMI is comprised of a hierarchy of screens which allows operator to view the system with increasing levels of detail using real-time data. A variety of screens are available in the HMI including Alarm Annunciator, Data Trending, Reporting, Control Faceplate screens.
	CENTRYWCC – Web Communication Controller The WCC enables a data connection between remote energy systems and a central operations center. The WCC is a 586-grade platform with dual LAN ports. It communicates with local controllers via two RS-232 and two isolated RS-232 / 422 / 485 ports and can support a wide array of communication protocols. It connects with local meters and instruments via 16-channel isolated digital I/O and timer/counter. The WCC is infinitely expandable to capture the balance of plant instrumentation through the use of the CENTRYPIA module. The WCC contains an embedded VPN client; no expense or complexity of VPN hardware. The WCC communicates with the operations center via a standard XML communication protocol that is open and conforms with IEEE 1547.3.
	CENTRYPIA – Plant Instrumentation Aggregator This is a flexible add-on module for the CENTRYwcc. It includes I/O modules, processors, communication adapters and option adapters that can be configured for a wide range of data aggregation and control applications. The PIA’s small size also allows it to be mounted closer to field devices for shorter wire runs, significantly reducing wiring and associated costs. Plus they are designed to simplify cabinet layout and wiring with direct connection to 2, 3 and 4 wire field devices. The PIA connects to a wide range of fieldbus networks in a snap...literally. Each communication adapter or processor adaptor mounts quickly and easily on an I/O base. The I/O base provides the foundation for the rest of the PIA system and serves as the mounting base for communication adapters, processors or option adapters – which all snap onto the I/O module. In addition to providing I/O capability, the base also includes the power supply for module circuits, option adapters, processors, and communication adapters. There are currently over thirty I/O module types available for the PIA, including analog I/O, discrete I/O, multi-function analog, bi-directional discrete and specialty modules such as a high-speed counter.
