Working Phases of Scada System for Power Distribution Network

In today's competitive electric market, utilities are expected to provide highly reliable power supplies at the lowest possible cost. Distribution automation and remote control are recognized as ways for intelligently using appropriate technology to increase the reliability at reduced system operation cost, automated operations and service restoration can eliminate the need to send out the personnel to switching points so that switching can occur effect on the system reliability SCADA “Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition” Computer Science Essay SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) SCADA is a collection of equipment that provides monitoring and control of process and parameters of a central site. The aim of this thesis is, firstly to recall the basic concept of SCADA system to present the project management phase of SCADA for real time implementation and then to show the need of automation for Power Distribution Company’s (PDC) on their distribution and the importance of using computer based system tower sustainable development of their services most control action are performed automatically by RTU host control functions are usually restated to basic overriding or supervisory level intervention, a computer based power distribution automation system is than discussed, finally some projects SCADA system implication in electrical companies over the world is briefly presented. Keyword: SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition), RTU (Remote Telemetry Unit), PLS (Programmable Logic Controllers), MTU (Master Terminal Unit), MPPKVVCL (Madhya Pradesh Paschim Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Limited).
