Power Plant Automation System
About
HESKON Power Plant Automation System, which has the Domestic Goods Certificate, is a technology of strategic importance for Turkey's power generation infrastructure. The system, which stands out with its technological maturity at THS 8 level and its compliance with international standards and critical cyber security requirements, offers a safe and cost-effective domestic alternative by reducing foreign dependency in this field.
Product Overview
It is an integrated automation system that fulfills all control and monitoring functions of power plants, especially hydroelectric power plants. It is a set of hardware and software that ensures the safe and efficient operation of all subsystems of the power plant (turbine, generator, switchyard, etc.) by processing real-time data received from remote end units (RTU) and sensors in the field.

Technical Capabilities and Capacity
HESKON is designed to deliver the high reliability, cyber security and flexible operating infrastructure required by modern power plants.
High Operational Continuity
Redundant server and workstation architecture guarantees uninterrupted system operation even in the event of a hardware failure.
Advanced Cyber Security
It has been developed in accordance with the ISO/IEC 27019 cybersecurity standard, which is critical for the energy sector, protecting the system against cyber threats.
Flexible Infrastructure
Although it runs on Windows operating system, it offers virtualization support, reducing hardware costs and providing ease of maintenance.
User Friendly Interface
It features a local Human-Machine Interface (HMI/SCADA) software designed for operators to easily monitor and control the plant.
Comprehensive Archiving
It provides retrospective analysis and reporting by archiving all operational data and event records of the power plant for a long time.
Communication Infrastructure
It provides seamless communication with internal and external systems (e.g. Load Dispatch Center) over standard protocols.
- Hydroelectric Power Plants (HPP): It is the main area of use of the system and is an ideal solution for newly installed HEPPs or existing HEPPs whose automation system will be renewed (modernization/rehabilitation).
- Other Power Plants: Its architecture is also adaptable to other types of power plants.
