Course overview
The reliable operation of the modern Bulk Electric System depends on the system operator's ability to monitor and control equipment and facilities located great distances from the control center. To do so, companies rely on Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. Successfully operating SCADA systems requires an understanding of all the devices' control and communication functions.
The Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Systems training course identifies the basic control and communication functions performed by the system's Master Units and Remote Terminal Units. This online course covers:
- SCADA fundamentals
- Control, supervision, and communication
- SCADA operation
- SCADA operations logging and supporting applications
SCADA Systems is part of the System Operations training series.
