An Overview of Electrical Grid Monitoring, SCADA Systems and Optical Communication Networks

Power system monitoring is crucial for ensuring the reliability and efficiency of electrical grids. Continuous surveillance allows operators to detect and address issues promptly, minimizing downtime and preventing potential failures. In this context, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems play a pivotal role.
Optical communication networks enhance the effectiveness of SCADA systems in power system monitoring. These networks facilitate high-speed and secure data transmission over long distances, enabling real-time monitoring and control of critical power infrastructure. The use of optical communication ensures the integrity and resilience of the communication channels, even in challenging environments.
By leveraging optical communication networks, SCADA systems can provide accurate and timely information on power system parameters, fault detection, and control actions. This synergy between power system monitoring and optical communication networks contributes to the overall reliability and stability of the electrical grid, ensuring a responsive and adaptive approach to the dynamic challenges faced by modern power systems.
