Remote plant operation monitoring

Dunphy’s new Internet-based, remote energy centre monitoring system, DunphyDelta, reportedly eliminates the need for new software, cabling, USBs, or extra on-site servers.

By using standard web browsers on PCs, laptops, tablets, or smartphones, the password-protected links allow remote monitoring and control of boilers and burners on one or more remote sites. Multiple web-enabled devices can be given simultaneous data access via a password-protected ‘login’ screen. DunphyDelta uses end-to-end encryption of data in transit, and secure ‘cloud’ storage to protect information, while multiple level redundancy across different geographic areas prevents loss of data.

‘Near instantaneous’ access to real-time operational data is displayed via graphs and reports, with the cost of fuels, water, and electricity, all calculated at individual site values. Full historical analyses are also available. Alongside reporting on the consumption and actual site costs of utilities, reports can be designed to display quantified steam outputs, modulation, boiler sequencing status, and CHP operations. DunphyDelta also provides immediate operational commands delivered back to boilers and burners to change or modify modulation, sequencing, and other nominated operational control factors.
