SCADA and Power Systems 1

This presentation provides an overview of how Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are integrated into power systems. SCADA allows power system operators to monitor and control the system in real-time, identify faults and anomalies, and optimize the system. It is used across various stages, from power generation to transmission to distribution and consumption. SCADA also faces challenges regarding security concerns, legacy system integration, and ensuring flexibility as power systems evolve over time.
