  One Business Avenue OneAddress for Business Development SCADA PTMP Narrowband Radio for Electricity Utilities - Search for Partners What is SCADA? (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) It is how utilities gain visibility, and then control, of their network assets. From a visibility / monitoring perspective: Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) are located at utility assets in the field, connected to sensors, alarms, etc. A communications mechanism connects them to the network operations centre. A software program (HMI: human machine interface) to display the data, visible to the network management staff. The RTUs are connected to devices that can „act‟: switches, reclosers, pumps etc. Control signals are sent from the network operations centre to the RTU which acts upon them to control the devices.

  One Business Avenue OneAddress for Business Development SCADA PTMP Narrowband Radio for Electricity Utilities - Search for Partners Why monitoring and control? Electricity regulators financially reward electricity networks that improve their customer reliability by putting in smarter control systems. Improved asset use, management and protection means improved performance: better network reliability through increased efficiency and security: Real time or on demand asset monitoring Early identification and isolation of faults Preventative maintenance to extend asset life Decrease in quantity and duration of faults and outages Rapid response to weather events or malicious attacks Reduce unscheduled site visits and maintenance costs Performance improvement is delivered, brought about by improved information from SCADA system operation.

  One Business Avenue OneAddress for Business Development SCADA PTMP Narrowband Radio for Electricity Utilities - Search for Partners What does the product do for electricity? In combination with asset specific sensors and automation equipment, enables centralised remote asset management and life optimisation while reducing manpower requirements.  Transformers are essential components of electricity transmission and distributions systems and are their most valuable individual assets – early warning saves money  Automation equipment (reclosers, load break switches, and fault indicators) throughout the network are essential devices for providing maximum continuity of supply The product monitors the operation of this equipment sending reports, both routine and exceptions, to a control centers – commands may also be returned to certain field equipment for action.
