“…The whole process control system was developed and controlled by the user-friendly HMI. In [10], the authors have elaborated on the controlling process by using distributed control systems (DCS), SCADA, and PLC. The research contribution educates the reader about the working of the DCS system with a focus on developing a control system for the reverse osmosis plant.…”

Design and implementation of an open-source-based supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system for a community solar-powered reverse osmosis are presented in this paper. A typical SCADA system available on the market is proprietary and has a high initial and maintenance cost. Aside from that, there is no SCADA system with an alert system available to give users updates and status information concerning the system. The objective of this study is to develop a comprehensive SCADA design that takes advantage of open-source technology to address the world’s most pressing problem, access to clean water. The designed reverse Osmosis system also uses renewable energy-based power sources. In this system, all data is stored and analyzed locally, which ensures the data is secure and allows the user to make data-driven decisions based on the collected data. Among the main components of this system are the field instrument devices (FIDs), the remote terminal unit (RTU), the main terminal units (MTUs), the web-based programming software, and the data analytics software. The Node-Red programming and dashboard tool, Grafana for data analytics, and InfluxDB for database management run on the main terminal unit having Debian operating system. Data is transmitted from the FIDs to the RTU, which then redirects it to the MTU via serial communication. Node-Red displays the data processed by the MTU on its dashboard as well, as the data is stored locally on the MTU and is displayed by means of Grafana, which is also installed on the same MTU. Through the Node-Red dashboard, the system is controlled, and notifications are sent to the community.

“…Another advantage of using LabVIEW is the fact that it allows the creation of intuitive interfaces in process analysis [18,19]. Also, LabVIEW can be integrated with MATLAB in order to model, simulate, and test processes [18,20,21].…”

This chapter proposes the use of LabVIEW in a very common application both in the field of power engineering technical education and in the industrial environment. It is about compensating the reactive power with the aim of increasing the power factor. Capacitive reactive power compensators for this purpose are provided with compensation steps. The connection and disconnection of these steps according to the load curve of the consumer and the power factor at which it operates are done by means of programmable controllers. Most capacitive compensators are designed to be connected balanced to the three-phase network, in delta connection. In the situation when the reactive capacitive compensators are designed for both power factor improvement and load balancing, single-phase connection of capacitor steps is needed. The chapter proposes a LabVIEW virtual instrument that, by means of National Instruments equipment, is designed for operating condition monitoring and single-phase command. The virtual instrument was tested in the laboratory on a model consisting of a RL consumer with step-adjustable inductive component and a step-adjustable capacitive compensator. The National Instruments hardware equipment used, the modeled consumer, and its related capacitive compensator are presented. Special attention, with details of realization, is given to the virtual instrument architecture.
