Energy Automation (SCADA)
Automation for Powerful and Smart Power Grids
Power automation, measurement, protection, monitoring, billing and automation, control and control of other electrical systems for low voltage electrical networks in buildings are managed by SCADA systems. SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a critical technology for monitoring and managing power grids through a central platform. These systems increase energy efficiency while at the same time ensuring grid security.

Tackling the Power Grid Challenges of the Near Future
Megatrends such as digitalization, decarbonization and distributed power generation are rapidly taking hold in the global energy market. To adapt to these changes and meet the growing demand for energy, electrical networks must digitize and become smarter using IoT (Internet of Things) technologies. SCADA systems are the cornerstones of this digital transformation and are evolving to make electrical networks more efficient, flexible, and sustainable.
Smart Grid Transformation and Power Management with SCADA
SCADA systems play an important role in the digitalization of networks. The Schenider EcoStruxure™ Power Automation System (EPAS) revolutionizes power management with SCADA technology. It increases data security, security and operational efficiency in design, construction, operation and maintenance processes. EPAS provides real-time monitoring and control at every stage of the networks, ensuring safer and more efficient operation of the system.
The Future Role of SCADA in Smart Grids
SCADA systems are the core technologies that support smart grid transformation. These systems optimize energy management, increase efficiency, and monitor energy consumption. At the same time, it allows for quick detection of faults on the grid and takes automatic corrective measures. SCADA accelerates the digital transformation of power grids, providing safer, more efficient and sustainable energy solutions.
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a system used for monitoring and controlling industrial and infrastructure systems. This system collects, monitors and controls data in many areas such as power grids, water treatment plants, automation lines. SCADA is used to improve operational efficiency, detect faults, and optimize systems.
SCADA systems are used in many industrial areas such as energy management, water and wastewater treatment, transportation, gas and oil industries, automation lines and building management systems. It is particularly common in monitoring and controlling infrastructures such as power grids, water treatment plants, and HVAC systems.
Real-time monitoring: The status of systems can be monitored instantly, enabling rapid intervention.
Increased productivity: Automated control reduces the need for manual intervention and increases efficiency.
Fault detection: System failures can be detected and intervened faster.
Remote access: Users can control systems with remote access.
Data collection and reporting: Operational data can be collected and analyzed, and long-term strategies can be developed.
The SCADA system consists of sensors, controlled devices, communication infrastructures and software platforms. Sensors collect data from field devices, which are transmitted to a central control unit. The controller processes the data, analyzes it, and makes decisions. In addition, users can interfere with the system with remote access. This process allows for continuous monitoring and control of systems.
SCADA systems are protected by strong cyber security measures. These measures include secure communication protocols, encryption, access control systems, multi-factor authentication, and regular software updates. In addition, network-based SCADA systems are isolated from external threats by being protected by firewalls and monitoring tools.
SCADA systems collect sensor data such as temperature, pressure, flow, humidity, energy consumption, voltage, current. This data is used for operations such as monitoring load status in power grids, controlling flow in water and gas lines, and ensuring the efficient operation of HVAC systems.
