Abstract
The program aims to enhance the plant's operational efficiency and reliability. The SCADA system will be comprised of several key components, including a SCADA server, client monitors, and a UPS system. The SCADA server will be a ThinkServer TD340, equipped with Intel Xeon E5-2420 v2 processors, 32GB of RAM, and a 5U chassis kit with redundant power supplies. The server will also feature hot-swappable hard drives, a ThinkServer RAID 500 adapter, and a DVD ROM. Client monitors will be Lenovo LT2323P Raven Black 23" widescreen LED monitors with USB hubs, while the UPS system will be a 10KVA/8KW ferroresonant UPS from Powerware. The UPS will be accompanied by a battery cabinet and a bypass switch. The SCADA equipment bill of quantities (BOQ) outlines the required materials, including the ThinkServer TD340, client monitors, UPS system, and other peripherals. The BOQ also specifies the configuration options for the SCADA server, including the processor, memory, hard drive configuration, and RAID adapters. The generator PC configuration sheet provides detailed specifications for the LEC-2280E 3rd Gen (Ivy Bridge) Intel Core i5/I7 fanless embedded PC system. The configuration options include the processor, memory, storage, expansion, graphics, displays, audio, LAN, WLAN, WAN, DC power input, AC power adapter, mounting, and operating system. The SCADA system will be installed at the Tarakhil Thermal Power Plant, which is located in Kabul, Afghanistan. The installation will be carried out by Phoenix IT Solutions Ltd., a local company, in collaboration with Tetra Tech, the program's implementing partner. The SCADA system will enhance the plant's operational efficiency and reliability by providing real-time monitoring and control of the plant's operations. The system will also enable the plant to respond quickly to changes in power demand and to optimize its energy production.
