Non-renewable energy resources in the guise of fossil fuels are the basic source for industry, energetics, transport and households. Amid the alarming reports on the subject of depleting resources of fossil fuels, a lot of countries promote the use of renewable energy sources. However, plenty of countries still maintain their traditional ways of producing energy. For instance, those countries use coal, which is very harmful to the environment because it destroys the ozonosphere or causes respiratory failure to people. Because of that, many organization perpetually struggle, encumbering enormous fines for companies or countries in general. The costs of installation can be quite high at first but in the course of time, these investments bring dividends. Using renewable energy sources, such as wind power, hydropower, solar energy, the geothermal energy, and biomass, is very attractive, especially for big companies. The difference in price between the conventional and unconventional way to generate energy might be minimal but multiplied by thousands this small difference becomes a big amount that companies could save. Therefore, it is important for entrepreneurs to get up-to-date information about work parameters, particular generative departments, identify places where can be excessive energy consumption, gathering data, reporting and further analyzing results, and for energy management and visualization of the whole system. Thank to the wireless connection between regulatory PC and remote units, which is the TCP/IP network, it is feasible to obtain plenty of measurements in outlying and very often unavailable places for people. The software used on this project was Saia PG 5 Controls Suite, created to program controllers of the Saia Burgess Controls company. It uses logic that is universal and does not depend on controllers of other companies. Furthermore, the PG5 contains a whole set of tools, which was sufficient to create the SCADA system without the need to use any other softwares.
