Ban Ve Hydropower Company successfully built the BanVeHMI mobile application

Faced with practical production requirements and with the desire to increasingly improve the management system, data tracking synthesis, and internal information exchange of the Plant, Ban Ve Hydropower Company has been researching and building a mobile application to meet the above requirements.

In particular, the BanVeHMI application runs on Android and iOS platforms, integrating automatic management modules that update real-time information on the operating modes of generators; upstream water levels, downstream water levels; statistics over time of parameters such as: Capacity, output; Hydrology; Reservoir water level information... In addition, the application also integrates other useful information serving the electricity market, weekly work schedule information...

The program interface is friendly and easy to use.

Using the BanVeHMI mobile application helps manage and update information and parameters of the factory continuously, anytime, anywhere, thereby making reasonable production management decisions to participate in the electricity market with optimal efficiency. In particular, with this software app on the phone, continuously monitoring hydrology, rainfall and water volume in the lake is an extremely effective tool in natural disaster prevention and control. During the time when the whole society is participating in the prevention and control of Covid-19, the creation of this application software has contributed significantly to the Company's completion of the dual task of both fighting the epidemic and ensuring electricity production.

With the spirit of developing digital transformation with EVN and EVNGENCO1, the Company is always ready to cooperate in transferring this software technology to other hydropower units in need.

Mr. Cao Thanh Liem - Technical and Safety Department specialist, member of the application development team said: The system is built to inherit the existing systems of the factory, so the cost of hardware investment is not too high. However, the issue of security and information safety is always taken seriously: Clear user authorization; the database system and web service are set up with high protection policies on both hard and soft firewalls.

Currently, the system is being supplemented with features to display rainfall flow in the reservoir area; features to warn of factory incidents via notification interface... By mastering software programming technology, the software modules are always proactively updated quickly, in accordance with the actual situation.

In addition to the above BanVeHMI application, other software systems currently being applied by the Company have brought great benefits such as PMIS Technical Management software, eOffice Document Management software with digital signature, HRMS Human Resource Management software, Electricity Market software system, ERP-MMIS software...

In the coming time, the Company will focus on building and deploying additional systems such as Planning Management; Digitizing all edited records and documents; Collecting hydrological data, DCS automatically entering into PMIS software instead of manual entry; Electronic operation log...

With the common goal of building EVN and EVNGENCO1 into a digital enterprise, Ban Ve Hydropower Company always makes the most of the power of digital technology and digital data, increases operational efficiency, innovates, optimizes costs, increases profits, improves labor productivity... in line with EVN's 2021 theme of "Digital transformation in Vietnam Electricity Group".

Ban Ve Hydropower Plant is the largest hydropower project in the North Central region, with a capacity of 320 MW. As a multi-purpose project, in addition to the task of supplying electricity to the national economy, the plant also has the responsibility of supplying water to the downstream during the dry season, cutting and reducing floods during the flood season according to the operating procedures of inter-reservoirs in the Ca River basin.

After 11 years of operation, Ban Ve Hydropower Plant has connected to the national grid nearly 11 billion kWh, making an important contribution to the task of ensuring energy security for the country. The unit contributes thousands of billions of VND to the state budget, contributing significantly to the economic - industrial - tourism development of the Western Nghe An region.
