HOW TO SELECT A PROJECT PARTNER

2. Manner and Method of validating automation before delivery: Importance of an emulation system

• Way and method to be able to validate the installation before delivery
• Validation in the workshop FAT of the functionalities (Auto mode, Semi-Auto, Degraded operation, different test modes)
• Validation of any type of error handling (Mechanical, electrical, automation)
• Test process with real programming in a virtual world (virtual grids, virtual GE, virtual LV and HV circuit breaker and virtual load
• FAT with Emulation (following Protocol in collaboration with Customer CLIENT)
• Validation of communications in layers (process control, visualization, remote Access)

3. Methodology of validating on-site automation

• Validation in real world of the functionalities (Auto Mode, Semi-Auto, Degraded mode, different test modes
  SAT tests (following Protocol in collaboration with customer)
  Validation of correct fault handling of a number of errors (Mechanical, electrical, automation)
• FAT with Emulation (following Protocol in collaboration with Customer CLIENT)
• Validation of communications in layers (process control, visualization, remote Access)

!! No customer is able to generate hundreds of power interruptions to validate in real time the handling of any type of incident, that’s why emulation validations during FAT tests are very important

Customer training: possibility of doing a digital twin training to teach operators to familiarize themselves with the installations

4. After-sales organization specifically for automation

The client hopes to have good maintenance support and in the event of a disaster (example complete blackout of the site) to have the guarantee that the automation partner can:

• Guarantee 24/7 on-site assistance within the short time from an expert who has detailed knowledge of the specific installation and the equipment installed to be able to restore the power supply to critical installations ASAP.
• Take over the control via remote access (by a specialist) in case of panic to make the right decisions within 10 minutes while waiting for the arrival of the expert on site
• Guarantee this efficient service throughout the whole life cycle of the installation (minimum 25 years)
  For this, the automation partner must:
• Train experts on the specific installation throughout its lifetime to prevent the Know-How from degrading or being limited to one technician
• Perform on-site training for his staff and for the customer

5. Choice of technical products

DEIF CONTROLLERS

• From diesel generators to solar panels and wind energy, and from hospitals and data centres to industrial manufacturing, switch boards, and air traffic control, power needs to flow without interruptions. Efficiently, safely, and in a climate-friendly manner.
• DEIF offers control solutions for your applications, from genset controllers, PLCs, and advanced power management solutions to electrical switchboards and cutting-edge wind power technology.
• This requires adequate control, and that is what we do at DEIF: With an intelligent and flexible generator controller or wind turbine controller, power generation becomes more efficient without additional climate impact. With a highly configurable electric switchboard, power goes where it needs to go and ensures uninterrupted uptime. And with user-friendly bridge instrumentation, ships make it safely from port to port, on time and on a minimum of fuel.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT

• Asset control; Inventory of all consumers and production units and management and control of assets
• Hybrid & Microgrid; Hybrid networks and microgrids provide stability, operational security and increased profits for your business.

• Power Solutions;

  Power and control solutions for your business

• Intelligent Controllers; Our intelligent DEIF controls and PLCs are at the heart of our installations
• Weather & Energy cost prediction – Buy or Sell Energy; The hybrid system and control of the assets are determined by energy prices, weather forecasts and the company’s current interests.
• Artificial Intelligence; Optimize the customer’s overall energy costs, production, revenues and expenses based on energy prices, weather forecasts, currency fluctuations, production costs, etc.

ENERGY TRADING

• Injecting energy into the grid (R2 and R3) at critical times when green energy is not in available or when energy is very expensive. Green energy production with a microgrid installation.
• Controlling and managing the EV charging stations and managing the stored energy in the parked EVs provides significant savings.
• The DEIF controllers control the solar panels, wind turbines, battery storage, and the gensets.
• SDM-Projects programs the DEIF controllers as well as any touch panels, PLCs and, when necessary, the Scada systems.

ENERGY STORAGE

• Energy storage is the key to overcome the current instability in the electric grid.
• Green energy production provides a lot of energy but production is never constant and depends on the wind, clouds and the sun
• The DEIF controllers control both solar panels, wind turbines and battery storage.
• SDM-Projects programs the DEIF controllers as well as any touch panels, PLCs and, when necessary, the Scada systems.
• In this way we create a Micro Grid system that absorbs the instability of green energy.
• We can then add the management of charging stations.
• Injecting energy into the grid (R2 and R3) is also possible.
