Zusammenfassung: | Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems are frequently located in remote, environmentally hostile locations. Even in favorable conditions, the remote terminal unit's (RTU) location often dictates operation with a minimum of maintenance and routine oversight from operators. These criteria demand that these systems be durable, reliable, and portable. Without an equally durable, reliable and portable power source, they cannot carry out their intended functions. Photovoltaic (PV) or solar power systems can meet these conditions. This article presents an overview of steps involved in designing and installing PV power systems supplying RTUs. Reviews of two Arco systems are included. |
