Hydro-Power Generation
• Hydro Electrical plants have a critical requirement for accurate water flow rates in order to determine the amount of power they can generate.
• Upstream water catchment areas and snow stores must be monitored because weather forecasts are not accurate enough.
• These sensors are located in remote locations where there is no option other than satellite.

Why it is relevant
• There is increased demand:– Global climate change requires more accurate
monitoring– Green energy applications are significantly
effected by temperature, pressure, water levels and snow levels and seismic activity.
• Only satellite M2M supplies a communications infrastructure that can exist in the remote locations where these sensors need to reside.

When it is used
• Hydro-Power Generation would require remote monitoring in two situations:– Where it needs to monitor the flow and supply of
water to generate the power– Where it needs to understand the environmental
impact hydro-electricity has on surrounding ecosystems for the storage of water and resulting change in natural flow.

Flow and Supply of Water
• Related to the regional climate:– Cold climates get their water supply from snow:• Reservoirs are located in high locations and catchment
areas cover extensive mountain regions• snow levels, melting periods and supplies are
inconsistent throughout the year.
– Tropical areas get their water supply from downfalls during wet seasonal periods.
• Fundamental to hydro-power generation.

Environmental Impact
• Regulations are in place to ensure systems minimize impact on local environments.
• Close monitoring and reporting is done on:– Soil salinity– Water levels– Fish stock levels– Erosion.
• Not critical for power generation but required historically for trend analysis.

What it is triggered by
• There are two triggers that initiate information being sent through satellite M2M:– Constant Polling– Conditional Polling.

Constant Polling
• The hydro operator can set sensor polling rates for real-time or historical data for trending analysis.
• Polling rates depend on:– the rate of change in environmental conditions– how often data is required to make a decision on
flow rates through the penstock.
• Rates are constant.

Conditional Polling
• The remote terminal unit (RTU) can send back data to the host based on:– specified events– sharp rise in water levels– temperature – any specific data.

Satellite Communication
• For environmental monitoring, satellite communication must:– Report in real-time (less than 1 second round trip
time) for power generating water flow sensors (flow and supply of water)
– Report in near real-time for non-power generating sensors (environmental impact).

Communication Service
• For environmental monitoring, the satellite communication service must:– Operate in a satellite band that is not affected by
weather (rain and snow)– Work over a secure IP data service– Have reliability between 99.5% and 99.9%.

Satellite Terminals
• For environmental monitoring, satellite terminals must:– Operate over a large thermal dynamic range– Have high ingress protection– Operate on extremely low power– Integrate into multiple and differing RTUs– Support RS-232/RS-422 serial ports • A terminal server can be used for IP only satellite
terminals at the cost of additional power/complexity.

More Terminal Considerations
• When IP based RTUs are required, satellite IP only terminals must contain an Ethernet port.
• Where RS-232/RS-422 serial ports are needed a terminal server must be used at a cost of additional power and complexity.
• RTU and Satellite terminal shall:– Support both UDP and TCP. UDP is the preferred protocol for
SCADA networks to reduce total traffic. – Note: Reliability usually provided by TCP is provided by
application and satellite layers.© 2013 oneM2M Partners)

oneM2M Considerations
• Hydro-Power Generation requires M2M for remote monitoring of sensors for water flow and environmental impact analysis.
• Satellite M2M can meet their requirements of:– High availability– Security– Remote location of sensors– Ruggedized exteriors– A lower power usage than traditional satellite.
