Achievements
Highly accurate CTM at the
Hospital Centre in Soissons
|
INEO Nord Picardie,
Saint-Quentin branch, implemented at the Hospital Centre in Soissons
a TOPKAPI supervision solution to ensure Centralised Technical
Management (CTM), covering all needs of the infrastructures. The
system allows real-time acquisition and centralization of technical
and safety information, and transmission of operating instructions. |
In 2007, when the hospital was extended, the CTM system
required complete redesign to integrate new equipment and renovate the existing
tool, no longer up to date. For a group of buildings over a total area of
45,000 mē, 500 beds and 1,500 employees, the
stake was a major one, as it was monitoring and controlling all technical
equipment used in:
 power
distribution including generator sets, low voltage main panel, floor panels,
power cutback/restoring priorities, …
climatic comfort: heating and A/C
air treatment unit (ATU)
fluid distribution: water, oxygen, and medical
gases
lighting
The supervision architecture, designed and installed by INEO
Picardie, is built around a server station and two client stations linked
through Siemens S7 controllers, Sauter regulators and DIRIS measurement central
units. Together they monitor electrical measurements, metering and energy
management.
Easy configuration and
ready to use functions prompted INEO to select
TOPKAPI, including:
the time based programming function with the ‘Scheduler’
for lighting management
easy installation of a client station, i.e.
requiring a few minutes only and synchronized automatically with the server when
modifying applications
data archives management allowing to find
logged data easily
quality of AREAL’s technical support
Nicolas Renard, in charge of the electricity and climatic
department, points out that ‘the tool is used daily’ for:
reporting operating
faults and diagnostic
remote adjustment of
temperatures and regulation settings
monitoring power
consumption meters and detecting drifts
In total about 80 recorders
are configured, representing over 600 graphs plotted. To use this data
systematically, the application is planned to be upgraded for the production of
energy reports allowing to check and reduce
consumptions by monitoring ambience temperatures and calory/frigory meters. This
upgrade results from an energy effectiveness
process already engaged, and at the centre of the users' concerns.
