SCADA in Railway Tunnel for Electromechanical Services

Abstract

This paper discusses the SCADA control of E&M services inside the Railway Tunnels with design of automated distribution of power, control and monitoring in railway tunnel and which will provide automatic sequential power provisions for various events like emergency (derailments, collisions and fires), train in tunnel and no train in tunnel. Indian Railway employees SCADA Systems to achieve safety in tunnels - evacuation in case of emergencies by safely operation of safety EM equipment, protection and power supply automation, acquisition and parameters storage of power supply, monitoring and controlling the entire power supply distribution, alarm and logging system, load management, load shedding, power quality monitoring and management.
