Introduction
• SCADA – Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
• Eyes and Ears of control centre
• At control centres in India, SCADA is used for data acquisition and monitoring the
grid.
• SCADA system should be…
Be Highly Reliable
Have Redundancy
Be Flexible - Absorb future changes, additions, etc.
Be Easily Maintainable - Minimum demand on maintenance
Be Highly Secure

Functions of SCADA system
Human Machine Interface
• Mapping of Electrical Parameters on displays
• Better understanding of grid for monitoring
Functions of SCADA system
Alarms generation
• Alarm generation on violation of limits
• Three types of limits
• Operational limit
• Emergency limit
• Load shedding limit
• Appropriate visualizations/annunciators for Limit violations
• Alarm generation on change in status of digital signals (breakers &
isolators)
• Alarm storage and retrieval
Functions of SCADA system
Data archival
• Periodic archival of analog and status data
• Quality flag of data also stored
• Easy retrieval through sampling or raw
• Separate data storage servers with high availability and redundancy
• Tape drives for long term storage
Functions of SCADA system
EMS applications
• State estimation
• For estimation of states of power system
• Required for finding the angle difference hence stress on the system
• Required for forming the base case for further applications
• Contingency Analysis
• To evaluate real time contingency in the power system
• Ranking of contingencies
• Security enhancement OPF
• For optimized actions in case of power flow, voltage contingencies
