Abstract(s)
Dada a atual conjuntura política global, marcada por crises económicas e energéticas
agravadas pela pandemia de COVID-19, bem como pelos conflitos armados em
curso, torna-se cada vez mais urgente encontrar soluções para a redução do consumo
energético, especialmente no setor industrial.
Com o objetivo de melhorar a gestão dos seus consumos energéticos, a BA implementou
diversas medidas, entre as quais se destaca a substituição de um antigo
sistema baseado em Siemens S7, obsoleto e fora de serviço há vários anos, pelo
software de gestão energética Power Studio Scada (PSS), da marca Circutor. Este
software permite a geração de relatórios de consumo, o armazenamento de históricos
de dados, o acesso a informação em tempo real e a criação de interfaces gráficas que
facilitam a visualização e o acompanhamento de tendências.
O principal objetivo desta dissertação consistiu em tirar o máximo partido das
funcionalidades do PSS para tornar o acompanhamento diário dos consumos energéticos
da unidade fabril mais eficiente, eliminando o fator humano da recolha manual
de dados e tornando todo o processo de análise e tratamento de dados mais rigoroso
e automatizado. Para tal, foi desenvolvida uma estrutura completa, ao nível de
hardware e software, que assegurou a comunicação entre os equipamentos instalados
no chão de fábrica e os ficheiros utilizados para análise e apresentação dos dados de
consumo energético.
A comunicação entre os dispositivos foi garantida através de equipamentos com
capacidade de ligação por Ethernet. Por sua vez, a interligação entre o PSS e as
ferramentas já utilizadas para a análise e apresentação dos dados foi assegurada com
recurso ao protocolo Open Platform Communications (OPC).
Como objetivo secundário, procurou-se também explorar as capacidades gráficas
do PSS para desenvolver um sistema de visualização simples, intuitivo e de fácil
acesso para todos os intervenientes, permitindo a consulta dos dados a qualquer
momento e em qualquer localização. Esta melhoria permitiu ainda dotar a instalação
de um sistema de alarmística substancialmente mais robusto e funcional.
Given the current global political climate, marked by economic and energy crises intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing armed conflicts, the need to find solutions to reduce energy consumption has become increasingly urgent, particularly in the industrial sector. To improve the management of its energy consumption, BA Glass implemented several measures, notably replacing an old system based on Siemens S7, which had been obsolete and out of service for several years, by the PSS energy management software by Circutor. This software allows the generation of consumption reports, storage of historical data, access to real-time information, and the creation of graphical interfaces for easier visualisation and trend monitoring. The main objective of this dissertation was to leverage the full potential of the PSS system to make the daily monitoring of the plant’s energy consumption more efficient, eliminating the human factor from data collection and significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of data analysis and processing. To this end, a complete infrastructure, both hardware and software, was developed to establish communication between the equipment on the shop floor and the files used for the presentation and analysis of energy consumption data. Communication between the devices was ensured through equipment with Ethernet capability. In turn, communication between the PSS and the tools already used for data analysis and presentation was established using the OPC protocol. As a secondary objective, the graphical capabilities of the PSS were explored to create a simple, intuitive visualisation system that could be easily accessed by all stakeholders, allowing data consultation at any time and from any location. This also made it possible to equip the facility with a much more robust and functional alarm system.
