General Description

An interesting technology for harnessing the energy from the ocean currents is the use of turbine-driven generators anchored in place in the current stream.

The blades of the turbine are driven by the moving water. These blades are used to turn the generators and to harness the energy of the water flow.

The ECMC unit is designed for simulating this energy generation system, allowing the study and tests of the operation and performance of a turbine (ocean turbine) for energy generation.

This Computer Controlled Unit is supplied with the EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), including: Control Interface Box + Data Acquisition Board +Computer Control and Data Acquisition Software, for controlling the process and the parameters involved.

Exercises and guided practices

GUIDED PRACTICAL EXERCISES INCLUDED IN THE MANUAL

  1. Study of the energy available from a water stream.
  2. Potential energy of water.
  3. Measures and controls.
  4. Sensors calibration.

MORE PRACTICAL EXERCISES TO BE DONE WITH THE UNIT

  1. Many students view results simultaneously. To view all results in real time in the classroom by means of a projector or an electronic whiteboard.
  2. Open Control, Multicontrol and Real Time Control. This unit allows intrinsically and/or extrinsically to change the span, gains, proportional, integral, derivative parameters, etc, in real time.
  3. The Computer Control System with SCADA and PID Control allow a real industrial simulation.
  4. This unit is totally safe as uses mechanical, electrical and electronic, and software safety devices.
  5. This unit can be used for doing applied research.
  6. This unit can be used for giving training courses to Industries even to other Technical Education Institutions.
  7. Control of the ECMC unit process through the control interface box without the computer.
  8. Visualization of all the sensors values used in the ECMC unit process.
  9. By using PLC-PI additional 19 more exercises can be done.
  10. Several other exercises can be done and designed by the user.
