Scada in Power Systems

Abstract

Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) is a control system for smooth managing large-scale, automated industrial operations. When applied to electric power industry, it can help the industry to save time and money, reduce operational costs, and improve efficiency. It provides real-time monitoring and automation for smart power grid, a promising power delivery system of the future. This paper provides a brief introduction on the application of SCADA in electric power systems.
