New generation digital flood warning system
The Buon Kuop new generation digital flood warning system for the downstream area of hydropower plants uses communication protocols to control, monitor, and collect information and data, and use tools based on open source programming languages (Node js, Node-red).
The system has been installed on a trial basis since January 2023 with 10 remote warning stations in the downstream area of Buon Kuop Hydropower Dam. The announcement content is stored as a recording file at each station. When notification is needed, operators can easily and quickly retrieve data to broadcast on loudspeakers at warning stations.
Through actual operation, the digital system has overcome the disadvantages of the previous system because it can control and broadcast content that needs to be notified to remote warning stations on a digital platform (WebServer); monitor the operation of all remote warning station parameters; Collect and store data for query purposes when necessary and automatically send daily operating reports to the operating workshop for synthesis and monitoring.
Overview interface of warning stations makes it easy to query historical data
In addition, the system has a simple and easy-to-understand interface on the website platform with full operating information of remote warning stations for hydropower plants’ downstream, flexible operation capabilities, and quick response in real-time, at the same time storing data and allowing lookup of historical events and automatically emailing daily operating reports to operating workshops for the management and operation of power production. The encrypted device centrally collects information on an independent web server built and managed by the unit, thereby ensuring safety, security, and reliability.
With the benefits and efficiencies it brings, the digital flood warning system for the downstream area of hydropower plants of Buon Kuop Hydropower Company has been registered as a "Make by EVN" product. This system is the result of labor, research, continuous improvement, creativity, mastery of science and technology, and promotion of digital transformation to adapt to the production requirements of Buon Kuop Hydropower Company in particular, and Power Generation Corporation 3 and Vietnam Electricity in general.
