DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR THE AUTOMATED CONTROL OF THE MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT OF THE MAINTENANCE OF SIX DAMS IN THE GUADALQUIVIR RIVER HYDROGRAPHICAL BASIN (SPAIN)

摘要

The process of design and implementation of an information system for the management of a monitoring and maintenance service in six dams site in the Guadalquivir basin is summarized in this report, as well as the working scheme of such system. For its development, a whole procedure was defined that considered the goals of the system superposed to the system of organisation and responsibilities over which it was settled, and the selection of components was established in base to market and technological tendencies, studying the points of view of the different work-teams involved in the system. In this way, a structure of components for the system was defined completely adjusted to the needs of the works to be performed. Later on, the adopted solution for each one of the dams has been explained in detail. Their monitoring data automatic acquisition systems consisted on distributed control networks composed by Smart Transducers, capable of converting analogical into digital signals, perform calculation and store data. Moreover, their capacity of interconnection between them and with external equipment allowed its integration within the information system. Finally, the working of the monitoring data treatment process is explained, together with the process of elaboration of such data within the information system and the software being used for data acquisition, transmission, treatment and analysis.
