Abstract

The advent and development of the smart grid concept to operate the electric power grids and microgrids have introduced a number of opportunities for improving efficiencies and overall performance. A supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system provides an appealing scheme for remote control and observation of renewable energy sources (RES). SCADA systems have been used widely in various industrial applications, and have helped improve the efficiency of such systems. SCADA systems, however, still face some challenges in the effort ...
