AzərEnerji – Biləv HPP
Biləv HPP is a hydropower plant on the Gilanchay river in the Ordubad district of Nakhchivan, Azerbaijan. It went into service in 2010 with two units and an installed capacity of 20 MW, and it feeds the grid over the 110 kV Ordubad line.
The plant used to run another SCADA system. We replaced it with YTCC and moved the plant’s existing screens over. The unit screens show the turbine nozzles, the lubrication system, governor and generator data, and temperatures. The chart screens cover the switchyard, the station service supply, the voltage, current and power of both generators, and the water levels.
The project has 1,400 tags, and YTCC talks to the plant over IEC 60870-5-104. Each event keeps the time stamp the device sent with it, and YTCC stores the arrival time as well. A strip across the top of the screens counts active alarms, warnings and unacknowledged alarms. Operators acknowledge alarms from that strip and open the alarm and event lists there. When a unit breaker trips, the top of the screen shows why the unit tripped, and the cause stays there until the operator resets it. Operators don’t have to search the alarm and event lists to find out why a unit tripped.
A 3D model of the turbine sits in the middle of the unit screen. We built it with AI through YTCC’s MCP server and bound it to the plant’s signals. Each nozzle’s opening and state appear on the model, next to that nozzle. We can also put the nozzles into maintenance mode from the 3D model.
