Mikrodev offers solutions for smart city applications with IoT protocol converter, PLC, DCS and SCADA product families with the support of industrial communication protocols.
Smart City systems using automation applications are designed to meet the needs of individuals living in modern cities and metropolises, as well as to ensure the sustainability of cities. While smart city management systems work similarly to building and campus automation systems, their application areas are larger in scale.
Smart city management systems projects may serve various areas such as smart city transportation system and traffic management, smart city parking system, energy and lighting management, waste management, smart city water management and distribution systems, security and emergency management. Using components such as sensors, data collection devices, and intelligent analysis software, these smart cities information systems collect, analyze, and present data from cities to managers.
These systems optimize traffic flow and vehicle traffic, saving time and fuel while reducing energy consumption and waste, supporting more environmentally-friendly practices. Additionally, they enable quick and effective intervention by instantly relaying data on emergencies and potential security threats in the city to the city’s management level.
In this context, Mikrodev’s technologies have a significant role to play in smart city systems. As mentioned, smart city is an area where information received from various IoT sensors and iot devices is used, and this data efficiently managed.
This includes the control, analysis and data tracking of many systems in the city, such as transportation systems (smart city traffic control system and smart city parking solutions), power plants, lighting systems, water distribution network and waste management. The smart city system is used to optimize service efficiency to citizens, enable analysis of what is happening in the city and how the city is developing, and reduce cost and resource consumption. Mikrodev offers solutions for smart city applications with IoT protocol converter, PLC, DCS and SCADA product families with the support of industrial communication protocols.
As a result, the smart city operating systems are used to optimize service efficiency for citizens, analyze what is happening in the city and how it is developing, and reduce costs and resource consumption. Intelligent systems in smart cities play a vital role in the sustainability, efficiency, and security of modern cities, especially in supporting the livability of large cities and metropolises.
Remote Control Monitoring
In Remote Control Monitoring applications, information received over different types of IoT sensors is transferred to the center. This data is then sent to a centralized control center where it is analyzed and used to make decisions about how to improve the efficiency and sustainability of the city. The system allows for remote control of various infrastructure components such as street lighting, traffic lights, and waste disposal units, enabling real-time adjustments to be made based on changing conditions. The system also enables real-time tracking of assets such as vehicles and waste disposal trucks, allowing for more efficient routing and scheduling. Overall, the Remote Control and Tracking System is a crucial component of smart city infrastructure that enables cities to operate more efficiently and sustainably.
Information sent from different locations can be tracked, controlled, analyzed and reported via ViewPLUS SCADA software which is provided within Mikrodev solutions. Energy data is sent from locations such as compensation, transformer, generator, roof solar power plants over Ethernet, GSM and Wi-Fi with Mikrodev IoT Protocol Converter, DCS and PLC product family. In addition, sensor data from elevators, escalators, underpasses and overpasses are sent to the remote system. Data is sent with industrial communication protocols such as MODBUS, MQTT, IEC 60870-5-104.
Lighting Control System
In smart city applications, lighting control is carried out in areas such as park and garden lighting, architectural building lighting. Within the scope of that, lighting control systems are essential components of smart cities projects. Lighting control systems enable street lights to be automatically turned on and off, adjust lighting levels based on time and location, and automatically detect and report malfunctions. These systems are designed within intelligent smart city projects to reduce lighting costs and provide energy savings, as well as to create an environmentally friendly city.
In this context, the Lighting Control system is operated over the communication protocol used in lighting systems such as DALI protocol. Lighting systems can be controlled by using Mikrodev DCS products and the DALI communication module together. Lighting fixtures can be controlled in groups or over a line. DIM adjustments are made via the SCADA control center, the light intensity can be increased or decreased over time. The light intensity can be controlled automatically by making clock adjustments according to different scenario selections. In addition to the status information, fault information and the type of fault can also be monitored via SCADA.
Renewable Energy System
Renewable energy systems for smart cities are based on the principle of using energy obtained from renewable sources such as solar, wind, hydraulic, and biomass to meet the city’s energy needs. On a global scale, the type of energy that can be used may vary depending on the country’s geographical and topographical location. The primary goal of smart city renewable energy systems is to increase energy efficiency based on natural resources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and ultimately ensure the sustainability of cities as much as possible through natural energy sources. Renewable energy systems can also be considered in areas where traditional energy sources are limited or difficult to access, thus supporting individuals and communities in these areas to meet their energy needs with more cost-effective solutions.
Within the scope of smart city applications, renewable energy is generally used through roof solar energy systems. Energy data is transferred to the center via Mikrodev products. The amount of energy produced and energy efficiency calculations are made over the renewable power plant data. Thanks to the integrated geographic map feature of ViewPLUS SCADA software (Google Maps JavaScript API, ArcGIS API support), the location of renewable power plants whose latitudes and longitudes are defined can be tracked on the map.
