Remote control system – successful digital transformation at DHD

Instead of using dozens of people like before, now, each shift only needs 2-3 people. That is the practical effect in the application of digital transformation into production activities that Da Nhim Hydropower Joint Stock Company – Ham Thuan – Da Mi (DHD) has done since the Remote Control Center (OCC). into operation.
Practical effect

DHD manages and operates 4 hydropower plants (Da Nhim, Song Pha, Ham Thuan, Da Mi) are scattered in Ninh Thuan and Binh Thuan provinces, but the company’s headquarters is in Lam Dong province. Therefore, the management and operation of production and business meet certain difficulties and limitations. In 2012, DHD has researched and built OCC and put it into operation since December 2013 (for the Ham Thuan – Da Mi factory cluster) and from March 2014 for the Da Nhim hydropower plant cluster. – Song Pha. Each operation shift of DHD now only needs 2-3 people After more than 7 years of official operation, up to now, OCC has been operating stably, The transmission system , communication systems, data collection systems all operate reliably and effectively, without problems caused by subjective matters. All operations performed at OCC are timely and accurate as required by the National Dispatch and Regional Dispatch. Putting the OCC into operation has basically met the requirements of the Company’s development strategy in the centralized management model, promoting the efficiency of management and operation of electricity production. OCC has synthesized and provided fully and promptly information about plant equipment, hydrological situation in reservoir basins and related data for analysis and evaluation of production results. Export – trade, thereby setting up a reasonable price offer for power plants, effectively participating in the competitive power generation market. In addition, thanks to OCC, the Company has saved telecommunications channel rental costs by reducing transmission channels from 20 channels to only 5 channels. Mr. Do Minh Loc – Deputy General Director of DHD, said that with OCC, each shift on duty of the Company only needs to arrange the Chief of the Center’s operation shift and 01 operator, to command and operate factories . Currently, the Company continues to maintain the operation shift at the factories, each on-site operation shift is arranged from 2 to 3 people / 1 shift, monitoring, support, supervision and manipulation. devices in place. The arrangement and arrangement to increase the operating force in place will continue to be considered and adjusted in the coming time to suit the actual requirements. Will replicate the model According to leaders of DHD, the most difficult in building models is the human factor. To commissioning OCC system in December 2013, the Company cooperated with the National Load Dispatch Center (A0), organized training courses and accredited 5 heads of operation shift at company level to be eligible for command. operation and troubleshooting of power plants Da Nhim – Song Pha and Ham Thuan – Da Mi at OCC. At the same time, the procedure for operation and handling of equipment problems has been issued at Da Nhim, Song Pha, Ham Thuan, Da Mi factories and OCC equipment systems. The Company also cooperated with A0 to develop and issue the operational coordination process between A0 and the Company, in which agreed on the regulation of dispatching, mobilizing and coordinating operation, and troubleshooting of equipment at the power plants in the Company. Up to now, DHD’s human resources have been able to ensure efficient and stable operation of the OCC remote control system. With the advantages of existing human resources, in the coming time, the Company will continue to increase the application of digital transformation with advanced scientific and technological achievements into technical management, maintenance, and maintenance. equipment level. At the same time, will completely automate Song Pha Hydropower Plant; building unmanned model at Da Mi Solar Power Plant.
