Automation of electric power systems has increased worldwide, optimizing the use of available natural resources and leading to greener power. Although SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) systems are used extensively for power system automation, these systems are largely proprietary, with very few technical details available. This book bridges this gap, providing a complete guide to SCADA and the automation of power systems. The book includes many practical examples, providing readers with a clear understanding of how to automate systems.
