Description
Summary:This paper presents an evaluation of interfaces at the Network Operations Center NOC (Network Operations Center) in terms of HMI standards and related regulations, as well as the ergonomic monitoring GEDIS guide. The Centre of Operations NOC at the Institute of technology and renewable energy (ITER) is responsible for monitoring the various infrastructures of the Data Centre such as the air conditioning, power supply, fire protection, security, technical centers, wind farms, photovoltaic plants, and different infrastructures deployed around the submarine cable belonging to the Consortium Cana-Link (the cable that connects the mainland and Canary Islands, the earth ring and the Network IRIS). To unify systems and facilitate the NOC personal’s daily tasks, the ITER has been using the BMS system for SCADA software. However, BMS is a software specialist in the management of buildings, and as such BMS software was substituted by the new specialized system designed after this evaluation. En este artículo se presenta la evaluación de las interfaces de la sala del Centro de Operaciones NOC (Network Operations Center) del NAP (Network Access Point de Canarias), siguiendo estándares y normativas HMI, así como la guía ergonómica de sup ervisión GEDIS. En base a los resultados obtenidos, se presenta un prototipo de mejora de la interfaz actual.El Centro de Operaciones NOC del Instituto Tecnológico y de Energías Renovables (ITER) se encarga de monitorizar las diversas infraestructuras del Data Center como son la climatización, suministro eléctrico, protección contra incendios, seguridad, centros técnicos, parques eólicos, plantas fotovoltaicas, así como las distintas infraestructuras desplegadas alrededor del cable submarino perteneciente al consorcio de Cana-Link (el cable que une la Península y Canarias, el anillo terrestre y la Red IRIS). Para unificar algunos de estos sistemas y facilitar la tarea diaria de supervisión, se emplea un software SCADA especializado en la gestión de edificios.
