Modernization of Hydro-Electric Facility Monitoring and Control Systems Using LabVIEW and RIO Technology Print

"Using NI CompactRIO and Singleboard RIO has allowed us to implement a modern control for hydro-electric power generation with smaller and less expensive hardware components than in traditional test systems used in the past, allowing high speed analysis, calculations & high level logic implemented with the ruggedness and reliability of traditional PLCs."

– Patrick Wyse, TestWyse, LLC

The Challenge:
Upgrading traditional Hydro-Electric facility control systems to optimize performance and safety and to maximize water usage to generate electricity.

The Solution:
Using NI Reconfigurable I/O (RIO) hardware and LabVIEW software to build an advanced real time control and monitoring system that is fully automated, easy to use and highly reliable.
