I don't regret it, I don't mourn it, I have to do things when I collect the consulting fee, and I do things fairly.

Larson took out Shenzi's bid from the pile of materials in front of him: "First of all, I suggest that you first understand the products of the three companies, understand their system structure, and DCS distribution before making an evaluation. ”

Everyone nodded, such a large project, it is indeed necessary to have a comprehensive understanding first, and then score with these contents, in the details of automation, IEC has already had many standards, but for the realization of automation in huge power plants, each has its own strengths, at this stage, regardless of the black cat or white cat, it is a good cat to catch a mouse, and it is a good system to realize automation.

Everyone follows Larsson's rhythm and first understands the system of Qi Shenzi.

The product description is as many as 45 pages, and this is just a comprehensive introduction, not involving technical details, but within a quarter of an hour, almost everyone read it, showing a crying and laughing expression.

Most of them are experts in automation, even if Thomas is not a professional, as a power plant technical engineer, he has a good understanding of the automation systems of major manufacturers.

After reading the product description, there are only two words in everyone's minds-

Mitsubishi!

If there is software for picketing plagiarism at this time, and the manuals of both companies are entered into it, and compared with each other, I am afraid that about 80% of the content is completely overlapping.

"It's like...... There's nothing to discuss. Larson said helplessly, "It's very mature......"

"I think we should ask the Chinese authorities for their opinions. Thomas put down the explanation and turned to look at Hu Haitao and Jia Luansong, "I wonder if the Chinese side knows that the design concept and implementation method of Shenzi's products are almost the same as Mitsubishi's power plant automation system, do you accept this?"

The two looked at each other. I didn't expect this to be the situation as soon as I came up.

Hu Haitao and Jia Luansong exchanged glances and said: "We have no clear requirements on this point. ”

"Didn't Mitsubishi threaten to plagiarize Hengdian some time ago?" Thomas then frowned, "Now that a product of this magnitude is placed here, don't they speak?"

"You can't say that. An expert helped Shen defend himself, "The two sides originally had a cooperation agreement, as long as Mitsubishi approved it." It's in line with the rules, but let's just focus on the product. ”

Thomas shook his head with a dry smile: "I am a person from a power generation company, not an electrical manufacturer, I stand here to be fair, this Beidesert bidding is clearly China's domestic bidding, and now Shen's products moved to Japan are competing against China's domestic products, I don't know how to evaluate this bid." ”

Thomas is worthy of his own people, he knows that no matter how good Hengdian is, it cannot compare with Mitsubishi's more than ten years of automation experience. At the same time, it is also uncomfortable for Shen to play so dirty, and from a fair standpoint, he has the confidence to say this.

After hearing this, the participants fell into whispers, and after discussing privately for a while, their eyes fell on Hu Haitao and Jia Luansong.

Hu Haitao withstood the pressure and said: "That's the case, we didn't strictly and explicitly prohibit the use of imported equipment and technology in this bidding, because this does not conform to reality, for example, the processor of the microcomputer always has to use the United States, right? At this stage, the operating system cannot be Chinese." Hence our leadership. Our RFP only requires that the automation system be supplied by a Chinese company. No details were requested. ”

Hu Haitao is right, if you are reasonable, no one can stop Shenzi from doing this.

"So guys, let's focus on the product. The expert who spoke to Shen said with a smile.

Thomas was unwilling, so he had to shake his head, blame your own rules. That's all I can help with.

Larson had no choice but to continue the evaluation: "For the automation system of the SPA-95 power plant, what do you still need to know, what you think is unachievable, and what you think is doubtful, please raise it now." ”

Everyone was laughing dryly. There is no need to talk about it, Mitsubishi's system has been running for many years, and in terms of macro concept, it is impeccable, economical and practical, and stable.

"So let's take a look at Hengdian's E1 thermal power generation automation system. ”

Everyone took out Hengdian's bidding materials, product descriptions into a separate book, this booklet packaging design is more exquisite than Shenzi, full color pages, printing with thicker paper, the cost of such a booklet is not low, it's a pity...... Maybe it's more sensible to just copy a stack of A4 paper and nail it up, like Kedian.

As soon as the first page was opened, everyone was at a loss -

With the new generation of ECMS and DCS, the E1 will deliver unprecedented, true automation.

In the face of the new abbreviation of ECMS, many experts are also confused, and only after turning the second page to expand the introduction of ECMS can they figure out what it is.

ECMS, Electric-Control-Management-System, power plant electrical monitoring and management system, so it is much more intuitive, most experts do not react to the reason is also very clear, in their habits, the "M" in ECMS is often omitted, replaced by ECS.

Electrical monitoring and management system seems to be a very dry concept, why does Hengdian put it forward so much?

The concept of a layman looking at the bustle and an insider looking at the doorway is not touching for Jia Luansong, but for a real IEC expert, it is full of interest and freshness.

The history of the development of power plant automation, there has never been a one-step in place, are one by one, DCS in those seven, seven, eight or eight complex categories also confirm this, from the boiler to the coal conveying system, each equipment in the power plant is a new thing, to achieve automation of these dozens or hundreds of equipment, strung together, there is no one step in place.

No matter how big the international manufacturers are, they also gnaw down a little bit, first pondering the boiler, then pondering the steam turbine, and then pondering the transformer, which is the reason why there are so many categories in the DCS, Siemens first conquered the boiler, so the FSSS (furnace monitoring system) came out, and then went to engage in sequence control, making SCS, these "S" are like blocks with different levels and sizes, and even different brands, which are incorporated into the entire DCS piece by piece, which is barely pieced together the so-called power plant automation in today's era.

Due to the differences in equipment principles, communication methods and brands, we have to adopt a minimum standard for DCS and power plant automation - as long as it can be used.

Today's DCS is almost entirely focused on thermal automation. (To be continued......)
