SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)
A SCADA system is a combined hardware and software solution for centralized monitoring and control of technical processes in energy, water, transportation, and industrial systems. It enables the acquisition, processing, and visualization of real-time operational data.
Core Functions of a SCADA System
- Data acquisition and processing: Collecting sensor data and operational values from various from various grid areas.
- Monitoring and alarming: Detecting anomalies, outages, and critical states with immediate alarm notifications.
- Remote control of assets: Direct control of switchgear, substations, or pumping systems.
- Data visualization and reporting: Real-time and historical data presentation to support operational decisions.
- Integration with other systems: Seamless linkage with DMS, OMS, or ADMS for comprehensive grid management.
Benefits of SCADA Systems
- entralized control and monitoring of large-scale technical infrastructures.
- Increased operational security through early fault detection.
- Greater efficiency by optimizing operational workflows and load flows.
- Minimized downtime thanks to fast response capabilities during incidents.
SCADA and the Energy Transition
SCADA systems play a pivotal role in the energy sector. They ensure reliable grid monitoring and enable the control of decentralized energy resources. As such, SCADA is a foundational technology for the successful integration of renewable energy into power networks.
