Advanced Plant Management System
The Advanced Plant Management System (APMS) is a SCADA solution developed in partnership by RWE npower and Thales UK.
Based on a real-time application platform, APMS is a monitoring and control system for any large industrial process. APMS is implemented at more than thirty electric power generation units in the UK, including Tilbury, Didcot A, Aberthaw, Drax and Rugeley power stations.
The APMS system is replacing the Cutlass programming language and application system - a real-time control system widely implemented in British Power plants in 1970's, and which was developed by Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) research & development team.[1]
