Remote monitoring and control of pumping stations in the water supply systems

The paper describes the functioning of the pumping station remote monitoring and control system in the water supply system. A modern way of data transmission based on the Web platform is applied. The proposed configuration is developed based on Microsoft tools as Web applications and a set of Web services. It enables stable and reliable data transmission from the pumping station to the dispatch center as well as the signal commands from this center to the local control unit. The system provides the operator in the dispatch center with the visualization of control facilities with graphical and tabular presentation of relevant values and parameters. The operator can monitor the functionality of the entire building on the SCADA screen, and alarm reports assist in locating faults, which contributes to a significant increase in maintenance efficiency. The connection between the pumping stations and the dispatch center is established with wireless data transmission using mobile phone operators.
