Study and Design of a Telemetry and Surveillance System for a Gas Pipeline

Department

Automation department — Project 05/06 of the Integration Objects PFE Book 2026–2027.

Project

Design a remote telemetry and monitoring system for a gas pipeline, enabling the acquisition and long-distance transmission of operational data and centralized real-time supervision from a dispatching center. The project also includes AI-based analysis of telemetry data to detect anomalies and support intelligent monitoring and operational decision-making.

Objectives and responsibilities

• Research long-range telemetry standards and industrial communication protocols, including IEC 104, OPC, and Modbus.
• Analyze engineering design input packages.
• Architect the SCADA supervisory system, network topology, and technical telemetry backbone.
• Configure PLC communication protocols.
• Engineer control cabinets, wiring diagrams, and process control logic.
• Develop SCADA/HMI synoptics.
• Perform system integration testing.
• Integrate an AI-based model into the SCADA system to analyze real-time telemetry data, detect anomalies, and identify abnormal operating patterns.
