Is a new energy management architecture model based on SCADA system duties?

This paper presents a novel energy management architecture model based on complete Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system duties in an educational building with an MG Laboratory (Lab) testbed, which is named LAMBDA at the Electrical and Energy Engineering Department of the Sapienza University of Rome.

What are the parts of a SCADA system?

A SCADA can be divided in two parts: a hardware system for the data acquisition, communication, control and operation, and a software system for the data storage, elaboration, visualization, optimization, alarm management, etc.

What are hardware SCADA functions?

Hardware SCADA functions can be divided into four main fields; first, Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) that is a basic usage of the SCADA system that is for data collecting . The second function is the communication platform for preparing the data connection between devices [23, 24].

How does a SCADA system implement load shedding strategy?

If the PV generation decreases suddenly, due to some environmental reasons such as shadow or cloud, and, if the loads are not crucial, the SCADA system implements load shedding strategy by ordering to loads’ breakers to be opened.

What is Aveva plant SCADA?

High performance site SCADA software solution, enabling smart manufacturing through Plant Technology Modernization. AVEVA Plant SCADA (formerly Citect SCADA) is a reliable, flexible, and high-performance Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software solution for industrial process customers.

How do you know if a SCADA software system is usable?

The usability of a SCADA software system is based on 10 Nielsen heuristics. An HMI interface is usable when it satisfies the information needs of the end user who is using and interrogating it, by being provided with facilitated access and browsing with contents that are easily understood.
