The Role of SCADA in Grid Monitoring and Control

As electric power systems grow in complexity, the need for real-time monitoring and control has never been greater. At the center of this transformation is SCADA—Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition—a system architecture that enables utilities to collect, process, and act on data from remote field devices. From high-voltage substations to distributed energy resources (DERs), SCADA platforms are the nerve center of modern grid operations.


SCADA systems provide utilities with critical operational visibility, allowing for effective...
