Details the 2009-2011 rehabilitation project that integrated Siemens DCS and multiple sub-systems onto a single GENESIS32 platform at Bulgaria's third-largest power plant. EXBIT Ltd. implemented DataWorX for OPC aggregation across 8,000+ tags, GraphWorX visualization, AlarmWorX Multimedia notifications, and WebHMI remote access. The upgrade increased capacity from 840 MW to 908 MW while achieving ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 compliance.

Key takeaways

Centralized OPC data integration across DCS and sub-systems using DataWorX32 with 8,000+ tags

Real-time visualization and alarm management via GraphWorX, TrendWorX, and AlarmWorX Multimedia

WebHMI deployment enabled remote monitoring without client software installation

First-out alarm sequencing and millisecond timestamp sorting for trip event analysis

Capacity increased 68 MW while meeting EU environmental standards and ISO certifications
