Examples of SCADA System in TPPs
This paper presents the applications of a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system in thermal power plants (TPPs). In fact, a supervisory system must take into account the physiological and cognitive features of the supervisory operator.
The paper briefly discusses, on the one hand, the different steps of the application of a SCADA system and the difficulties to manage and on the other hand, it presents three examples of the application of a SCADA system in a TPP in Tunisia and the instrumentations and the measurements used.
The first application is related to a counting system of the natural gas, the second one is related to the supervision of pumps vibrations and the third one is related to the supervision of heavy fuel oil.
Supervision consists of commanding a process and supervising its working. To achieve this goal, the supervisory system of a process must collect, supervise and record important sources of data linked to the process, to detect the possible loss of functions and alert the human operator.
!!! The main objective of a supervisory system is to give the means to the human operator to control and to command a highly automated process. So, the supervision of industrial processes includes a set of tasks aimed at controlling a process and supervising its operation.
Supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA) are widely used in the industry for supervisory control and data acquisition of industrial processes. The process can be industrial, infrastructure or facility.
SCADA system is used to observe and supervise the shop floor equipment in various industrial automation applications. SCADA software, working on DOS and UNIX operating systems used in the 1980s, was an alarm-based program, which has a fairly simple visual interface.
The SCADA System Usually Consists of The Following Subsystems
A Man-Machine Interface (MMI) is the apparatus which presents process data to a human operator, and through this, the human operator, monitors and controls the process.
A supervisory system, acquiring data on the process and sending commands to the process.
Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) connect to sensors in the process, converting sensor signals to digital data and sending digital data to the supervisory system.
Communication infrastructure connecting the supervisory system to the RTUs.

Lors d’un week-end prolongé à Marrakech, j’ai eu envie d’explorer au-delà des souks et des monuments. Sun Trails m’a permis de vivre une expérience personnalisée, entre visite culinaire, balade guidée hors des sentiers battus et soirées dans des lieux intimistes. On sent une vraie maîtrise du terrain et un respect de l’identité locale. Cela m’a permis de profiter pleinement de Marrakech sans jamais avoir l’impression de suivre un circuit figé. Une belle découverte.
Ce que j’apprécie chez Jebtlik, c’est la manière dont le site met en valeur le lien entre bien-être personnel et ancrage naturel. Il ne s’agit pas seulement de vendre des produits, mais de proposer une vision plus large du soin. Les descriptions sont précises, les ingrédients compréhensibles, et l’ensemble donne une impression de transparence. Un site qui invite à ralentir, à choisir en conscience, et à prendre soin de soi sans tomber dans la surconsommation.
Je privilégie la simplicité et la coupe nette dans mes vêtements du quotidien, et ce T shirt homme correspond bien à cette exigence. Ce n’est pas un vêtement tape-à-l’œil, mais un basique qui fait le job sans compromis. Il s’adapte à toutes les situations, résiste au lavage, et garde une bonne tenue. On sent une volonté de proposer un produit bien pensé sans tomber dans l’excès de tendance. Une bonne base pour tout vestiaire masculin.
