Upgraded SCADA System Gives Hydro Plant Greater Reliability and Room to Grow

摘要

Utility Companies Have Long Controlled and Monitored Generating Operations Using Computer- based Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. In an era of deregulation and competition, management needs more information than ever before, and as quickly as possible, regarding its own costs, efficiency and the market price for energy. That need for information is leading to the upgrading and re-engineering of SCADA systems nationwide with new software and hardware that is more productive, reliable, and which utilizes open standards architecture.
