Hazardous areas and safety
elled out to the Gerus site to complete the installation, and a week
later the hardware was completely installed and signed off.
The following week a representative from H3iSquared met the
operators at NamPower control in Windhoek, Namibia in order to
complete the commissioning and system training for the camera
solution. Using the IV&C software, the operators viewing screens were
fully customised to show all views that were interesting and relevant
to the operators, and various preset viewing positions for the cameras
were setup. These allowed the operators to move, zoom and focus
the cameras with a single click of the mouse button. This meant that
on any event operators could have a visual of the site and relevant
areas within seconds of being notified of the event.
Conclusion
At this point the original scope of the project was completed and
signed off. Future scope for this project includes the integration of
the camera system to the SCADA system using an ActiveX control-
ler, allowing further automation of the system and SCADA solutions.
