Design, development, and commissioning of a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) laboratory for research and training

This paper reports a state-of-the-art Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Laboratory facility for power systems at Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, India. It has been designed to function as a research and training center for utilities, faculty members, and students. This paper covers the design, commissioning, and functioning of the SCADA/EMS laboratory facility, based on distributed-processing technology. The SCADA laboratory will provide hands on experience to students and practicing engineers and will give them an insight into the contemporary SCADA systems. This lab is the first of its kind to be functional in India.
