SCADA System Implementation for Small System Electricity

Abstract

Current technological developments lead to the integration of conventional and renewable generation. Automation and optimization systems in the electrical system using the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system will increase the reliability and flexibility of the controlling system. The research aims to build a SCADA system that can communicate across protocols between devices. The SCADA system covers the Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) and Master station along with their human machine interfaces (HMI). The RTU prototype was created by using a Raspberry Pi and communicating to the master station with the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol. The master station including HMI and front-end communication will be made in C# language which can communicate with the Modbus protocol and IEC 60870-5-104 protocol. With this system, it is expected that it can be used for microgrid systems or for training for laboratory scale.
