Abstract
This work aims to develop the automation system for the motorcompressor and expander-generator systems of a compressed air energy installation, henceforth referred to as ROCAES. Considering that the expander and compressor operate independently according to the scope of work, a solution comprising two separate automation systems that work together was chosen. The software programming was performed relying on the established parameter lists and in accordance with the project’s piping and instrumentation diagram, as well as the equipment mounted on the skid and in the automation cabinets. Guidelines are provided for future development, emphasizing the strengths and weaknesses of the solution.
