Abstract This work presents the development and laboratory implementation of a SCADA system for the Smart Grid at the residential loads level. SW packages, smart metering & control devices and wireless data communication network (Wide Area Network WAN) have been used in the implementation of the Smart Grid. Load electrical variables are collected and stored in a PLC , and sent via WAN to Utility Center, where SCADA SW has been configured for the real time visualization of the load variables , archiving , generation of reports and billing. Demand response events are generated from SCADA and sent via WAN to the control unit to control load power. Experimental results are presented for different loading conditions and based on DR events |
