Abstract
Intake is one of the most important pumping stations in water treatment plant (WTP) and greatly effects the overall plant
efficiency. Intake mainly consist of high-tension (HT) motor pump such as vertical turbine pump and submersible pump. The
required power supply for intake is generally fed from the main grid through distribution company/department. At the same
time, high operational cost of the diesel generator (DG) power back up source results in a huge burden. Also, internet of things
(IoT) and Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) based system is widely used nowadays. Therefore, study regarding
monitoring strategies of intake is very important and is rarely to be found. In this paper, monitoring strategies of Greater Aizawl
Water Supply Schemes phase II is studied. The main objectives are; to study and analyze pump energy consumption (viz. Feeder
Current, Frequency etc.); to implement ladder logic for monitoring energy parameters using MOVEREAL. The study shows
monitoring of intake energy parameters as well as the feeding substation, showing that SCADA can be efficiently used as an
energy management plan.

1. Introduction
Incorporation of SCADA solves many problems encountered during operation and maintenance of complex
systems [1,2]. Monitoring and control of every step of operation increases efficiency and allows for better energy
management [3–5]. Recently, water and energy nexus has been the focus of efforts for increasing sustainability [6].
The Intake structure (first stage water pumping) plays a very important role in water treatment plant and it must be
monitored closely so as to avoid complications due to pumping of seasonally varying raw water from the source. In
take structures are classified under three categories: based on source type; river, canal, reservoir and lake; based on

intake position; submerged and exposed; based on water presence wet and dry. Generally, intake tower is constructed
to have a vertical tubular structure consisting single or multiple number of openings for raw water inlet from the
source such as river, reservoirs etc. [7]. The design and construction of Intake is different with different regions,
generally it is constructed near the water source such as river, reservoir and lake etc., the intake convey raw water
to the water treatment plant (WTP) for filtration process, the water treatment plant pumps the treated water further
to the main reservoir through intermediate pumping stations (IPS), sometimes also called as a booster [8].
The power requirement of each pumping stages is fed by raw power supply from Power end electricity
department, the power requirement depends on the plant design such as pump data and head loss calculations.
Unlike other industries/plant majority of the electrical power is consumed under high tension (HT) category where
careful monitoring is required. Apart from this, monitoring of water quality such as salinity, turbidity and pH etc.
is also done for analyzing raw and treated water quality/quantity. Mostly, it is done manually through laboratory by
collecting raw and treated water sample. However, nowadays online monitoring using electronic sensor has been
implemented in many treatment plants, this could replace conventional Laboratory practice [9].
Therefore, in order to improve current practices and challenges being faced in water treatment industries such
as, training issues, bacterial control, poor monitoring and record keeping, equipment design and specification,
maintenance problems etc. Use of latest technology such as SCADA system is very important. Also, due to
flexibility and robustness, SCADA has been widely used in many countries for different applications such as
renewable energy, electric vehicles and microgrid controllers [10–15]. Extensive communication has become popular
in SCADA systems so that researchers are focusing on potential cybersecurity issues and their mitigations such as
message integrity [16,17], confidentiality [18,19], authentication [20–22] as well as overall system security solutions
[23–25]. Consequently, study and research on developing such a system for water intake systems is very important
as SCADA offers a very large field of applications [26].
The main objectives of this paper are to study SCADA system for Intake Jack-well and monitoring of energy
parameters, implement ladder logic and review the results of intake jack well in Aizawl (capital of Mizoram, India)
water treatment plant for different cases and discuss challenges being faced including issues and future scopes.
This paper has been organized as follows: Intake Jack-well operation is discussed in Section 2, and Power supply
concept is discussed in Section 3, in Section 4 SCADA system is discussed, followed by case study of GAWSS
phase II is Section 5, Finally conclusions are drawn in Section 6.
3. Power supply
The power supply system consists of the following four major components, such as raw power supply (from the
grid), Power backup (DG), Control and relay panels, law tension (LT) and high tension (HT) loads. Intake receives
403

power supply from the grid through certain voltage level such as 33/11 kV Substation consisting of switchgear
equipment such as lightning arrester (LA), current transformer (CT), potential transformer (PT), circuit breaker
(VCB/SF6 ) etc. and stepped down 33 kV feeding voltage from the source to 11 kV by using step-down power
transformer, the output of the transformer is fed to HT load (i.e. 11 kV Pump motors through 11 kV HT panel).
Similarly, auxiliary transformer feeds auxiliary LT loads through LT panels. Further, important device such as
HT and LT motor starter and automatic power factor corrector panel (APFC) are also normally used for smooth
functioning of the power system [30–32].
The control and numerical relay panel linked with the SCADA system are used to monitor and control the
switchyard equipment such as CT, PT and Breaker etc. Similarly, HT and LT side of the transformer are protected
through temperature control, Earth fault, Buchholz relay etc. In a typical High Tension (HT) panel for intake power
supply system, two HT incomers i.e. incomer 1 (from the grid) and incomer 2 (from DG) feed the panel and the
load through SCADA interlink. Also, the bus interlocking system isolate the two sources to avoid unwanted dual
operation during switching and normal operational period.
4. SCADA system
SCADA system is a computer-based control system mostly used in industry and energy systems [33–36]. SCADA
collect, analyze and processes data from different field equipment and offers efficient and desired output of the
plant. A typical SCADA system architecture has the following general components, (a) Central SCADA station,
(b) SCADA Communication media, (c) HMI/PLC and RTU, (d) Field instruments apart from this Ladder Logic is
commonly used for programming of PLC SCADA system [37].
To understand the basic working principle SCADA system, a typical SCADA architecture for intake (jack-well)
is shown in Fig. 1. The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) compute and control the process flow of the system
as per the set of instructions given by the user through program. The input and output signal of the PLC are linked
with field equipment such as pressure transmitter, level transmitter, flow transmitter, energy meter, analyzer panel
etc. and other SCADA components. The human machine interface (HMI) provides platform for human (user) and
machine direct interface through touch screen and push buttons. Generally online UPS with battery is also provided
to ascertain power reliability and backup during power failure. GSM/GPRS and optical fiber media are used for
communication media within the SCADA station.
Ladder logic for equipment data mapping and monitoring of energy consumption is implemented in PLC using
MOVE REAL block and the ladder logic input data of energy meter such as Frequency, phase voltage, Line currents,
Active power etc. are collected from input port such as W00372, W00308, W00318, W00348, etc. as per the assigned
tag names/ numbers given for each data. These real time data are fed to the corresponding PLC and computer located
at SCADA station for monitoring and operation of the system. Port allocation of PLC with the corresponding field
equipment as mentioned above is shown in Table 2. Similarly, energy data of the feeding substation, such as line and
phase current, active power, reactive power, apparent power, phase voltage, power factor and frequency are being
fetched to PLC. The same concept can be followed for monitoring and control of SCADA system using ladder
logic in other treatment plant.

5. Case study
In order to understand the concept of monitoring using SCADA system, case study of Intake Jack-well for Greater
Aizawl Water Supply Schemes (GAWSS) phase II (Aizawl Water supply system in India) has been done. Real time
data collected from Intake of GAWSS phase II for 24 h are discussed and shown in this section, the observations
are drawn from analyzing daily report of a particular sensor data (i.e. energy meter). CIMPLICITY 10.0 software
is used to develop ladder logic for the SCADA system.

The energy meter reading of intake jack-well for a period of 24-h cycle is shown in Table 3. The graphical
representation of the same is shown in Fig. 2. From the figure we can see the behavior of the line current (A),
active power (kW), power factor, line voltage (V) and frequency (Hz) etc. drawn from the SCADA station for a
particular day. Droop in the graph i.e. from 7:00 A.M. to 10:00 A.M. is due to switching/scheduling of the pump. In
406

line with this, the daily report curve and alarm settings of each water quality and water quantity can be implemented
as per user requirement. This gives freedom to analyze each and every data for monitoring various water parameters
as well as power parameters for the water supply system.
Data collected for the substation feeders are discussed in this section. Monitoring of the feeder substation
parameters such as voltage, phase currents, frequency, real and reactive power, power factor etc. are shown in
Figs. 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Similar to the 132/33 kV power substation incomer, feeder energy meter readings
shown in the previous section, data collected from the incoming 132 kV line and 33 kV outgoing feeder I and
II are plot against time for 24 h. Droop in the graphs is due to transition of scheduling from dual–single–dual or
triple–dual–triple operation of the pump. Here, only one or two pumps are normally operated to optimize pumping
schedule. Pumps are operated in single mode from 1:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. and in dual operation mode for the rest
of the day. The operating hours depend operated in single mode from 1:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. and in dual operation
mode for the rest of the day. The operating hours depend on various factors such as health of the pump, seasons,
load demand and availability of water.

6. Conclusions
Monitoring of Intake system is an important factor in improving the overall efficiency of Water Treatment plant.
Real time data collected from SCADA i.e. Energy meter readings of Intake as well as substation incomer and
outgoing feeder shows improvement in SCADA systems. It is estimated that Incorporation of SCADA would have
improved the overall efficiency as well as reduce the operation cost i.e. around 30%–40% reduction of expenses
compared to the non-SCADA station. Data collected from all sensors are stored in local server located at SCADA
stations and corresponding reports can be generated by operators at the desired day and time. Therefore, using these
data from various stations study regarding future water management plan as well as energy management plan can
be done which will greatly improve the water supply system.
The main disadvantage observed from the study system is the requirement of skilled engineers and technically
equipped manpower to quickly attend any hick ups and unforeseen technical issues which may arise anytime during
operation and maintenance. Also, technically sound/well-versed operators are required to maintain record keepings
and to attend alarm systems for monitoring the SCADA system. Moreover, one of the drawbacks of the SCADA
system is data lost due to internet issues and optical fiber issues especially observed in the study region located
near the river which is hilly and remote from the city where internet connectivity is provided. However, this can be
improved by providing GSM/GPRS modem and provision of better route for internet connectivity. Also, deployment
of skilled and efficient field staffs for handling of technical issues and reports for carrying out of periodic operation
and maintenance will greatly improve the reliability and efficiency as well as lifetime of the equipment. Further,
online web based and mobile application can also be developed for the system so as to provide platform for
monitoring from any locations, this will provide access for smart solutions and rapid response for any issues.
