EMBEDDED BASED INDUSTRIAL BOILER PROTECTION AND MONITORING

project center in Tirunelveli 

An industry is fully monitored with the help of global monitoring and control system called SCADA system (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition). The main drawbacks of this global control can be explained in twofold. First one is the global monitoring is not secured in terms of safety drive. Secondly this global control may lagged by losing control in two or three boilers units due to communication barrier. So in order to quick protect the boilers from the water level, pressure and temperature raise, the local control and monitoring unit is essential. This project is addressing an embedded based local monitoring pipeline for the boiler units. The proposed system is having the embedded unit which continuously monitoring the temperature, water level and pressure and current settings in a pipelined architecture. Because of this local pipeline architecture it is possible to manifest the protection against the individual boiler units. This pipeline architecture consist of temperature sensor, pressure sensor and water level sensor that are interfaced with the embedded controller. The controller is vital in this architecture which is comparing the actual values with the critical values and activating the buzzer alarm if there is any violation found. The global control unit may failed to transmit the signals from/to the control rooms. But this local control pipeline architecture is able to alert the technicians while the crucial parameters cross the critical values. This project is valuable for the industries as well as power plant to monitor the individual boilers carefully and by this way the unexpected accidents can be avoided due to communication lag.
