Power System SCADA and Smart Grids Simplified

Power System SCADA and Smart Grids is a concise volume that brings together the fundamentals and potential application functions of power system supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA). The book begins with an overview of SCADA systems, including their evolution and use in power systems, as well as the data acquisition process. It then delves into the components of SCADA systems, from legacy remote terminal units (RTUs) to the latest intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), data concentrators, and master stations.

The text also examines the construction and practical implementation of various SCADA systems and provides a comprehensive discussion of data communication, protocols, and media usage. Additionally, it covers substation automation (SA), which forms the foundation for transmission, distribution, and customer automation, as well as distribution automation and distribution management systems (DA/DMS) and energy management systems (EMS) for transmission control centers.

In addition, the book discusses smart distribution, smart transmission, and smart grid solutions such as smart homes with home energy management systems (HEMs) and plugged hybrid electric vehicles. Power System SCADA and Smart Grids aims to help electrical engineering students, researchers, and practitioners gain a solid understanding of SCADA systems and application functions in generation, transmission, and distribution systems, which are constantly evolving. The book aims to assist these individuals in adapting effortlessly to new challenges. It also aims to reveal the inner workings of SCADA systems, uncover the potential of the smart grid, and motivate more individuals to become involved in the development process.
