INDUSTRIAL SCADA ENGINEERING: HOW-TO GUIDE WITH TWO SAMPLE DESIGNS

A Use-Case SCADA Design Reference for Power Generation Facilities

De: Applied Engineering Group

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Two complete SCADA system designs. Fifty-one engineering drawings. One practical reference that shows you exactly how it is done.

Most SCADA engineering books explain concepts. This one shows you the work. Industrial SCADA Engineering walks through two full use-case designs from project initiation to final closeout, covering every phase of the engineering lifecycle the way it is actually executed on real power generation projects.

Whether you are an automation engineer moving into the power sector, a controls technician advancing your career, or an engineering student preparing for your first SCADA project, this book gives you a complete picture of how SCADA systems are designed, documented, and delivered at utility scale.

WHAT YOU WILL FIND INSIDE

A complete 17-phase SCADA engineering workflow with detailed guidance for every phase.

Two full sample designs -- a 650 MW combined cycle gas turbine plant and a 180 MW hydroelectric station.

Over 50 embedded engineering drawings including architecture diagrams, OT network topologies, IEC 62443 zone and conduit diagrams, PLC cabinet layouts, I/O architecture diagrams, HMI navigation hierarchies, alarm system diagrams, historian data flow diagrams, FAT and SAT workflow diagrams, and turnover package indexes.

Phase-by-phase engineering deliverables including control philosophies, SCADA architecture summaries, I/O databases, alarm matrices, FAT procedures, commissioning checklists, and turnover packages.

Cybersecurity engineering guidance referencing IEC 62443, NERC CIP, and NIST frameworks.

Alarm management design referencing ISA-18.2. HMI design guidance referencing ISA-101. OT network design covering VLAN segmentation, fiber ring architecture, firewall rule matrices, and remote access architecture.

PLC system design including cabinet architecture, I/O signal flow, loop diagrams, and control narratives.

Factory acceptance testing, site acceptance testing, commissioning, and turnover documentation workflows.

A standards reference appendix, complete deliverable register, and engineering glossary.

PART I - NORTHGATE 650 MW COMBINED CYCLE GAS TURBINE PLANT

Follow the complete SCADA engineering lifecycle for a utility-scale gas-fired power generation facility. Eighteen chapters cover every phase from the initial project charter through final project closeout, with 26 engineering drawings showing the architecture and design decisions at each stage.

PART II - CASCADE FALLS 180 MW HYDROELECTRIC STATION

Apply the same 17-phase workflow to a hydroelectric facility with its own unique control requirements, regulatory obligations under NERC CIP, and unit control panel architecture. Seventeen chapters and 25 engineering drawings show how the same engineering discipline adapts to a different facility type.

WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR
