Course overview
Reliably operating modern Bulk Electric Systems relies on system operators' ability to monitor and control facilities and equipment located great distances from the main control center. To accomplish this task, companies rely on Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. Successfully operating SCADA systems requires an understanding of 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 SCADA Master Units and Remote Terminal Units. This online course is part of the System Operations training series.
