Design and Simulation of Thermal Power Plant Using PLC and SCADA

This project is enhanced by constant monitoring using SCADA screen which is connected to the PLC by means of communication cable. In order to automate a power plant and minimize human intervention, there is a need to develop a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system that monitors the plant and helps reduce the errors caused by humans. SCADA system is used in monitoring the power plant parameter likes temperature, pressure, flow, level sensors  are used to monitor the parameter and the sensed signals are processed by PLC and monitor with SCADA the signals are compared with the reference parameter and the respective valves of the parameter are adjusted with the monitoring  and logic control system.
