ABSTRACT:
Modern control systems are being developed day to day in such a way to attain a
sophisticated control & a maximum error free system. SCADA is commonly used in power
system control & protection. SCADA is one such system, which is being familiar along with
SCADA represents Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition. It can cover a larger
We have mentioned the most common tasks of SCADA, which along with its additional
features allows us to apply SCADA in the conventional electricity billing, to obtain a most
The over all view of the system is given through a well explanary schematic
representation. The tasks of SCADA break the system into a no of blocks such as BCU,
MTU, MMI, and DM etc. Here we have connected all these in a Metropolitan Area Network.
Because of this network concept we go for security policies to secure the system from
snoopers. SCADA along with the newer technical concepts will give a new frame to the multi
element systems.
INTRO TO SCADA:
evolved to successful multipurpose data utility management & control tools. SCADA is one
such system that is being familiar along with computational intelligence. SCADA is a
successful miscellaneous system that provides the reliability, data accuracy, control security

location with acquisition of data for analysis and planning from one control location. For
At a central load dispatch center data such as current, voltage, power factor &
breaker’s status are telemetered & displayed. This gives the operator an over all view of the
distribution network. SCADA can provide status & measurements for distribution feeders at
the substation. Distribution automation equipment can monitor selectionalising devices like
switches, interrupters & fuses. It can also operate switches for circuit reconfuration, control
voltage, read customers’ meters, implement time-of-day pricing & switch customer

leads to increased reliability of power for consumers & lower operating cost for the utility.
TASKS OF SCADA:
Other than the above features there are certain tasks in SCADA through which
They are
Data collection:
terminal units at the appropriate rate. In addition, data collection monitors the various
scans to make sure they initiate & complete within the current time period.
Data transmission:
electronic equipment which converts the data received from the transducers into
analogue or digital signals & transmits it to the control room for the use of computers.
Data monitoring:
status of the data such as position of the CB, switches, fuses etc.
• Man / Machine interface: The Man-Machine interface provides a link between the
historical data, high processing power. It is quick in responding with high data throughput.
Before viewing of SCADA application in this task, we have to see the major uncertainties in
it.
Presence of malpractices.
SCADA clears out all the black outs in the conventional billing system. In this paper we
made a wide view over this topic. The system description is as follows.

transmitted to the common media. The computational algorithm depends upon the meter
constant (rev/kwhr for electromechanical meter & pulse/kwhr ). If the meter constant is 1000
pulse/kwhr the algorithm is in such a way that the data output is in the terms of 100 pulse
ie(.1 kwhr). This is done via micro-controller programming. The data transmitted is of the
following format,
The data from the micro-controller is not of transmittable form. It is in the logic levels of a
chip circuitry. Because of this, a modem or data conditioning is interfaced with the micro-
controller. Now the data is fed to the common media, which is linked with the RTU via any
Data transmission:
The data-word from the meter circuit of the consumer is transmitted to the
RTU for updating activities. Similarly a command-word is transmitted from RTU to the
meter circuit. These two transmissions take place in a single common media such as co-axial

NETWORKING TOPOLOGY:
The whole system is based on MAN (Metropolitan area network). Here it’s a
combination of two. This two can be extended between the regions are
The bus topology is a pertinent topology that can be utilized between consumers and RTU.
The multipoint bus topology uses along cable to link the entire consumer’s in the network. In
this way the network is established effectively. Here the bi-directional process can be done.
Following this the star topology is extended between RTU & MTU. In this topology,
each RTU Is connected to a central controller called MTU. The link between these two can

The data from the RTU are collected in the MTU for further processing.
Depending upon the application software in the MTU the collected data get processed. The
application software is developed using a high level language like c, c++ etc. the data from the

MAN/MACHINE INTERFACE:
MMI allows the RTU operator to trip the consumer’s power supply, when he fails to
pay the bill within the due date. This made possible from the status of the ‘paid’ field in the
consumer’s web page. An internal timer is set to the no of days, for bill payment. At the end
of the last day, the status of the ‘paid’ field is verified & the appropriate command word is
sent back to the consumers’ meter. The command word is in the following format,

Where 111011 address word representing the consumer.
In this example, the command word is to connect the consumer with the
