“…Among the merits of this approach are compact protection against the battery overcharging, underdischarging and overheating. This is superior to the conventional control techniques (using microcontrollers [14], [15]) in which the limitations of restricted input and output ports, noise immunity and shortage lifespan are effectively overcome. There are some works on the PLC implementation and control for battery applications [16]- [19].…”

“…PLC is used effectively in BESS. PLC for management and control of distributed energy production consisted of three units, namely photovoltaics unit, wind unit and biomass unit, and battery [15]. Also, PLC was used for control hybrid energy storage system, which was a power system consists of a stand-alone photovoltaic, pumped water energy storage and battery pack has been developed for a village [16].…”

Battery energy storage system (BESS) is used in many practical applications including uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), portable devices, electrical vehicles and renewable energy systems. To utilize BESS effectively, an efficient control operation is required. Various controllers have been introduced in the open literature. However, they are not considered the best fit due to their limitations. This includes their incapability of handling high-power rating BESS, low noise immunity, short life cycle and limited number of input and output interfaces. In this paper, the programmable logic controller (PLC) is used to control and monitor a 158.8 kWh offline BESS for a typical Malaysian household. TIA Portal V13 software by siemens is used to program the proposed PLC control. Human machine interface(HMI) system is used to monitor and simulate the control performance. The results show that the PLC approach provides an efficient and reliable control of the BESS in which a compact protection against the battery overcharging, under-discharging and overheating is achieved.

“…Research on PLC-based automation as a better alternative to hard-wired control was conducted by authors in [1]. The PLC has wide applications in automation, such as in a protomatic labeller of a brewery [2], Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) using a Kalman filter algorithm based on memorised path and kinematics determination of vehicle movement [3], management and control of distributed renewable energy production units for minimum specific fuel consumption in real time [4], energy management and energy optimisation in the process industry [5], manufacturing process of the glue and gritting of aluminum helical wires [6] and vacuum controls [7].…”

Most car parking lots in the country have not been fully automated and many of them serve temporal, manual parking needs. A fully automated car parking lot assures of flexibility, improved efficiency and minimisation of manual tasks. In this paper, use was made of Siemens Step 7 PLC and WinCC Flexible Advanced software to design a fully automated car parking lot. The number of parking spaces available, the parking space number and position, arrival and departure times of cars and the time spent at the parking space are provided by the design. Simulations of designed system using Simatic PLC SIM confirmed the fulfillment of the design criteria and reliability of the developed flowcharts. Remote operator monitoring and control of the car parking lot has been actualised. Simulation results on the parking of six cars for a time duration of 0.5 hr, 1 hr, 1.5 hrs, 2 hrs, 2.5 hrs and 3 hrs, respectively yielded a total amount of GH 17.00. It stands to reason that hitherto existing manual car parking lots should be converted into the fully automated type using a PLC and an HMI workstation in order to bring orderliness and deserving responsibility to car parking in Ghana.

“…8,9 The main feature of a SCADA system is its ability to communicate with wind turbine control equipment in order to facilitate control actions, such as adjustments of blade pitch angles or yaw angles of the nacelle. 10 Unfortunately, common SCADA systems do not integrate structural data, which is needed for life-cycle analyses that consider-in addition to the operational wind turbine performance-the structural wind turbine integrity. Furthermore, SCADA systems are primarily real-time control systems and, as such, require to make compromises: For example, as reported by Yang et al, 11 sensor sampling rates provided by commercial SCADA-based monitoring and control solutions are not high enough to conduct life-cycle analyses under consideration of the structural dynamic behavior of a wind turbine.…”

The integration of structural health monitoring into life-cycle management strategies can help facilitating a reliable operation of wind turbines and reducing the life-cycle costs significantly. This paper presents a life-cycle management (LCM) framework for online monitoring and performance assessment of wind turbines, enabling optimum maintenance and inspection planning at minimum associated life-cycle costs. Incorporating continuously updated monitoring data (i.e. structural, environmental and operational data), the framework allows capturing and understanding the actual wind turbine condition and, hence, reduces uncertainty in structural responses as well as load effects acting on the structure. As will be shown in this paper, the framework integrates a variety of heterogeneous hardware and software components, including sensors and data acquisition units, server systems, Internetenabled user interfaces as well as finite element models for system identification and a multiagent system for self-detecting sensor malfunctions. To validate its capabilities and to Smarsly et al. 2 demonstrate its practicability, the framework is deployed for continuous monitoring and lifecycle management of a 500 kW wind turbine. Remote life-cycle analyses of the monitored wind turbine are conducted and case studies are presented investigating both the structural performance and the operational efficiency of the wind turbine.
