The automation and control system of hydroelectric power stations combines human machine interfaces (HMI) and control systems in order to operate and monitor plant operations.requires the installation of communication networks allowing interactions between control, visualisation and data acquisition/historization systems.

This involves integrating machinery automation and control solutions using the latest technologies from the world of automation relating to SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems. Their implementation requires the installation of communication networks allowing interactions between control, visualisation and data acquisition/historization systems.
