SCADA System

’s Substation Automation System provides a complete supervisory control solution for substations (HV, MV,
MCC, LC, etc.). It is also a Distributor Control System (DCS). The system uses the industry’s latest technology.

Main Functions of SCADA System

Supervisory Control
To control the system elements like CBs, Isolators and Voltage Regulators. Remote control is available either manu-
ally, by selecting icons, or automatically via event or time schedules. Master Control is delivered with a full sequence
language capability that can provide wide area control. Third party applications can also initiate controls via APIs
(Applications programming Interface).

Data scanning
Scan the data changes in filed CB status, Isolators status and Measurements.

Monitoring
Master Control has user configurable automatic scanning regimes of plant items through the use of an advanced
scanning algorithm and prioritizing polls. This function, according to operational importance and polling rates, can
be altered in response to a particular event.

Alarms
The ability to alarm when unsolicited event happened and the ability to manage the alarms, including links to second-
ary and primary alarms so that a power failure will not swamp the Operations Centre with unnecessary alarms.
Alarms are user-prioritized and automatically routed to the relevant users and workstations. These alarms can be
routed to radio pagers, sent by SMS message to cellular phones, or e-mailed to relevant users

9
Historic data
Save all data in historical database. The database is very useful for studying the system condition and reporting.

Reporting
It has the facility to generate various types of reports.

Trends
Ability to draw data status like data indications and measurements related to another variable like time, as an
example.
