Substation Automation & SCADA

Substation Automation & SCADA is designed to provide a practical understanding of modern substation monitoring, control, protection, and automation systems. The course introduces the fundamentals of electrical substations and their automation architecture. Participants learn about SCADA systems, Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs), and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs). It explains communication networks and protocols used for exchanging data between field devices and control centers. The course covers substation control, monitoring, alarm management, event recording, and data acquisition. Participants gain knowledge of IEC 61850 concepts and its role in modern digital substations. The course also discusses protection relays, bay control units, and integration of protection and automation systems. Practical aspects of system configuration, communication, troubleshooting, and maintenance are included. It helps participants understand how substations can be remotely monitored and controlled for improved reliability and operational efficiency. The course is suitable for engineers and professionals working with electrical power systems, substations, protection, automation, and SCADA.
