Disclosed is a computing apparatus, which comprises a plug-in profile configured to store a plurality of target source codes that are modularized to perform functions applied to a target device that operates based on a platform; a profile extractor configured to extract at least one target source code out of the plurality of target source codes, based on operating information of the target device; and a platform applying unit configured to combine the extracted at least one target source code on the platform.

Disclosed herein is a SCADA system that can adjust the size of a window added to the whole screen depending on the context of the window. The SCADA system includes a server that acquires data from remote apparatuses for system control and monitoring, and a display device that displays the acquired data via a dashboard. The server includes a control unit that creates the dashboard arranging and adjusting windows displaying data depending on the set context. In the SCADA system, windows can be configured efficiently in the whole screen area by adjusting the size of an added window opened by a user depending on the context of the window in the dashboard and changing the size of already created windows. As a result, the user′ visibility can be improved.

A supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system includes: a database configured to store data on the SCADA system; a client; and a server configured to transmit the data stored in the database to the client in response to a request of the client. The client is configured to display a supervisory screen for monitoring the SCADA system on the basis of the transmitted data. When data on an object is added as a graphic editor for editing the supervisory screen is executed, the server or client updates the database on the basis of the data on the object, and reflects, to the supervisory screen, creation of the object, input through the graphic editor.

A method and apparatus for applying optimized yaw settings to wind turbines including receiving operating data from at least one wind turbine on a wind farm and sending the data to a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system on the at least one wind turbine to generate current SCADA data. The current SCADA data is sent a central processing center away from the wind farm. The central processing center includes an optimization system that can generate a new look up table (LUT) including at least one new wind turbine yaw setting calculated using information comprising wind direction, wind velocity, wind turbine location in the wind farm, information from a historic SCADA database, and yaw optimizing algorithms. The new LUT is then sent to a yaw setting selection engine (YSSE) where instructions regarding the use of the new LUT are generated.

A method and system of calibrating uncalibrated sensors among sensors distributed along a pipeline network include designating a set of the sensors as upstream sensors based on their geopositions, and designating remaining ones of the sensors other than the set of the sensors as downstream sensors. The method also includes determining a temporal delay associated with each of the sensors. Calibrating the uncalibrated sensors is based on the corresponding temporal delay and on calibrated sensors among the sensors.
