Abstract
This paper presents a cement plant simulator designed on Lab VIEW platform. It generates process data and electrical parameters for all the lines of workshops in the cement industry. The simulated design is universal and applicable to all kinds of cement plants. Client-server architecture is established and the generated parameters are communicated to Matrikon OPC client. Single Line Diagram of the electrical distribution of cement plant has also been developed using MS Visio. An exclusive user interface has been designed to monitor and analyze the electrical parameters in detail. The KWh/tonne consumption and % energy consumed by the workshops have been observed and tabulated. Also, all the process and electrical data are exported to NI Citadel Database. So, in a single design, all the relevant key performance indicators (KPI's) for the process are calculated and displayed. © 2005 - 2012 JATIT & LLS. All rights reserved.
