SCADA and Telemetry System Sample Clauses
The SCADA and Telemetry System clause defines the requirements and responsibilities related to the installation, operation, and maintenance of supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and telemetry systems within a project. Typically, this clause outlines the technical standards the systems must meet, the data to be collected and transmitted, and the parties responsible for ensuring system functionality and integration with other project components. Its core practical function is to ensure reliable remote monitoring and control of equipment or processes, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and enabling timely response to system issues.
SCADA and Telemetry System. All communication, metering, telemetry, and associated generation operation equipment will be centralized into the Generating Facility’s SCADA. Seller shall configure the SCADA so that SCE may access it via the GMS from the GOC. Seller shall link the systems via an approved SCE communication network, utilizing existing industry standard network protocol, as approved by SCE. The connection will be bidirectional in nature and used by the Parties to exchange all data points to and from the GOC. Seller shall be responsible for the costs of installing, configuring, maintaining and operating the SCADA and internal site links for the Generating Facility. Seller shall be responsible for designing, furnishing, installing, operating, maintaining and testing a real time Telemetry System capable of interconnecting to the GMS, the CAISO-Approved Meter(s) and the Generating Facility’s control system with the CAISO’s Energy Communication Network. The Telemetry System shall be designed in accordance with the CAISO monitoring and communication requirements and must be capable of:
(i) Reporting data from each CAISO-Approved Meter;
(ii) Providing the status of key control points from the Generating Facility’s control system;
(iii) Routing generating unit set points to the Generating Facility’s control system; and
(iv) Communicating availability of the Generating Facility pursuant to Section 3.08(g). The Telemetry System must include a data processing gateway, internet connection, interconnecting cabling and all service agreements required for accessing the CAISO’s Energy Communications Network. The above mentioned connections and data transfer must be included in the systems engineering tasks as a part of the construction of the Generating Facility, and must be fully functional before Initial Synchronization.
