S5T is a DCS solution integrator for hydropower plants based on Nexus Controls – GE’s Oncore platform. With a team of experienced professionals, we are completely autonomous in surveying, designing, constructing, installing, and calibrating the system, as well as conducting training courses for customers. Thus, helping businesses save costs, optimize operations, increase production efficiency.
DCS solution of hydropower plant
The OnCore control system for hydropower plants is integrated in the same hardware and software platform with the following control functions:
- Engine control.
- Control of auxiliary systems (water intake, compressed air system, cooling system, turbine monitoring devices, generator…).
- Control power distribution stations.
- Control the overflow gate.
- Generator and transformer protection interface.
- Magnetic system interface.
- Transformer system interface.
- Connection to moderation levels.

Components of the DCS solution in a hydro power plant
System software DCS
The OnCore control system offers an integrated OptimumC comprehensive software package that enables visualizations, logs, graphics and alarms to give operators a complete view of the plant and its assets – This helps provide a clear picture for data analysis and troubleshooting.
OptimumC control software supports powerful control applications through simple configuration of function blocks, so it is easy to learn and use. In addition, real-time (online) and offline configuration execution is also integrated for monitoring convenience. Functionally, the process control capabilities of OptimumC software include:
- Collect data.
- Continuous control.
- Logic control.
System Hardware DCS
At the heart of the OnCore control system is the iDPU controller, which is a standalone, integrated computer that runs application code for control and data transmission. iDPU communicates with process I/O modules and can be implemented in a redundant configuration.
- Some other hardware includes:
- Input and output modules:
Input and output modules
- Operation station, technical station, historical data storage station.
Why should DCS solution be set up for hydropower plants?
Why should install DCS system for hydro power plant?
DCS systems are especially essential in high-volume manufacturing operations. Meanwhile, with few human resources, humans cannot manually monitor many individual systems, but an automated central facility is required. Therefore, the DCS system now plays an important role to:
- Help support production scheduling, preventive maintenance scheduling, and information exchange.
- Help monitor or significantly improve operational features such as: report export, device protection, fault detection, and fault isolation in subsystems to perform repairs.
- Redundant architecture provides enhanced control reliability and uninterrupted system access.
- Features a rich library of function blocks, allowing users to customize application and/or specific sequences to adapt to both current and future power plant configurations.
- DCS configuration software allows users to easily customize the HMI screen, conveniently control and monitor the overall operation of the plant.
The process of deploying the DCS solution installation service of S5T
Step 1: Receive customer requests, survey the system.
Step 2: System design, assembly manufacturing, factory inspection.
Step 3: Dismantle the old system (in case of need to upgrade), install the new system.
Step 4: Configure, install, test the system.
Step 5: Check, test and adjust at the scene.
Step 6: Training, operating instructions.
Step 7: Handover, warranty advice, customer care.Tại sao nên lựa chọn lắp đặt hệ thống DCS của S5T?
