Project Management Phases of a SCADA System for Automation of Electrical Distribution Networks


Mohamed Najeh Lakhoua and Mohamed Kamel Jbira

The aim of this paper is, firstly, to recall the basic concepts of SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) systems, to present the project management phases of SCADA for real time implementation, and then to show the need of the automation for Electricity Distribution Companies (EDC) on their distribution networks and the importance of using computer based system towards sustainable development of their services. A proposed computer based power distribution automation system is then discussed. Finally, some projects of SCADA system implementation in electrical companies over the world are briefly presented.

Keywords: SCADA system, Project Management Phases, Power distribution Networks.
