With an installed capacity of 7.4 mil MW, is the largest power generation company in the state of São Paulo and the third largest in Brazil. To improve the monitoring of the temperature found in the generating units of Ilha Solteira and Engenheiro Souza Dias (Jupiá) plants, CESP has chosen E3, Elipse Software’s SCADA solution.

To do so, the company has worked alongside Altus Sistemas de Informática S/A, the systems integrator responsible for the software application. The idea is to reinforce supervision, which up until now had been performed by a simple local HMI system. Today, E3 supervises a total of six of the 20 units in Ilha Solteira, and 9 of the 14 units in UHE Jupiá.

With the introduction of E3, operators can now monitor temperatures from any computer at CESP. To do so, they only need access to the internet, where all screens from the application can be viewed with a login and a password. In addition, E3 has an improved interface, and data can be seen as charts, historics, and reports. Another benefit provided by the software is its backup capacity, which is one-year long.

E3’s alarms system is both visual and aural, and it is quickly activated when the temperature is above normal. This system has two degrees of criticality: one works as a warning, the other as a hazard notification, in which case complete device shut down is recommended.
