Power production in Macedonia is largely dependent on coal. Thereby, discovering new coal resources is not only a state necessity but a crucial ingredient in the process of power production in MPC “Bitola”. In that respect, a viable example of system which will provide coal reserves for future exploitation is the Drainage System of 19 wells equipped with submersible pumps and 9 wide-area subterranean water measuring stations located at the coal mine “Suvodol”, which is a part of the Mining Power Complex “Bitola”.
It has been noticed that the existing remote aspect of such a system has been making difficulties in its continual exploitation and troubleshooting. Therefore, a custom made automation system has been made for remote control and monitoring of the drainage system (SCADA).
