Tour of Orrville Power and Water Plants
Presentation Summary:
A tour will be conducted through the City of Orrville’s power
generation/distribution, water and waste treatment utilities. The City of
Orrville over the past 6 years has undertaken a massive upgrade to the
instrumentation, controls, operator interface and city-wide data collection
systems. This involved selecting a state-of-the-art distributed control system
platform, migrating the existing control schemes, and creating a city-wide data
historian. This involved the creation of a citywide network using an Ethernet
communication backbone and wireless technology to integrate remote sites into
the overall utility infrastructure.
SPEAKERS:
The Manager of each Utility will describe their processes and discuss
the benefits of an integrated control system and what challenges they face in
today’s world, from security, to smart grid, to environmental impacts.
