Project Summary

LUKOIL sought an HMI/SCADA system for a planned datacenter, the latest of many among the company’s widespread IT infrastructure, in its new Moscow company office. Working with NVision Group, the company sought a solution that can provide maximum security and performance of datacenter utility systems while also ensuring high energy efficiency. LUKOIL’s datacenter computer rooms include over 100 server racks, each designed with a capacity of 17kW of power.

In addition, the company mandates that its utility systems have 24/7 control capability.

The company wanted an HMI/SCADA system that could provide estimates for the datacenter rooms’ technological and climatic metrics and could quickly acquire status information for all nodes of power and cooling/air conditioning systems. As the planned datacenter was to include approximately 5,000 data points, LUKOIL sought an HMI/SCADA solution that easily centralizes functional mode management for utility systems.

Benefits of the System

Currently, ICONICS’ GENESIS64 HMI/SCADA suite assists LUKOIL’s operational department in the efficient and secure placement of equipment in server racks, based on:
  • Actual Power Load by Rack Design
  • Power Load Level by Electric Phases
  • Nominal Value Ratio of Actual Power Load to Embedded Switches
LUKOIL’s new HMI/SCADA system now helps users to monitor critical cases and trends, including power distribution deviations for each level of electrical power supply system, from incoming switchgear to certain server racks. GENESIS64 is used to provide an ergonomic interface design, developed specifically with consideration of operating personnel efficiency. Users of the new system are now able to view data from different subsystems in a single window, allowing for the comparison and analysis of information without additional reports and needless switching between windows.
