Part of the YH programme VVS-ingenjör at TUC Yrkeshögskola. This course cannot be applied for on its own. Programme code: VVS23STO.
The course gives you knowledge of how a SCADA system is structured and works and how it is operated at user level. You learn to read and interpret operating charts, flow diagrams and electrical drawings in HVAC, for example for air handling units and heating substations. The course also gives in-depth familiarity with standardised signals, symbols and functions in building automation. After the course you understand how different control and regulation strategies affect energy use and indoor climate.
Duration: 4 weeks
Language: Swedish
Level: Advanced
CSN-eligible
Time commitment: Equivalent to approx. 4 weeks of full-time study
The course aims to provide knowledge of how a SCADA system (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) is structured and how it works, and the ability to operate a SCADA system at user level.
The course gives students the tools to read and interpret values from a flow diagram in an operating chart or an operating screen in SCADA, as well as advanced knowledge of power supply, power measurement and interpretation of electrical drawings in HVAC. Furthermore, students should be able to interpret and understand different kinds of operating charts, e.g. from an air handling unit and a heating substation. Using dynamic flow diagrams, students should be able to determine how an installation works.
The goal of the course is to give in-depth familiarity with standardised signals and functions in building automation, knowledge of standardised symbols used in operating charts and SCADA systems, and knowledge of how different control and regulation strategies may affect energy use and indoor climate.
