“…The development of digital computers from 1960 allowed the creation of Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), employed to obtain in real time the values of real and reactive powers as well as the state of the transmission electrical substations. The acquired values were sent to a central computer known as Master Terminal Unit (MTU), through dedicated communication channels: the Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) system was born [57,58].…”

Smart Grids (SGs) constitute the evolution of the traditional electrical grid towards a new paradigm, which should increase the reliability, the security and, at the same time, reduce the costs of energy generation, distribution and consumption. Electrical microgrids (MGs) can be considered the first stage of this evolution of the grid, because of the intelligent management techniques that must be applied to assure their correct operation. To accomplish this task, sensors and actuators will be necessary, along with wireless communication technologies to transmit the measured data and the command messages. Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSANs) are therefore a promising solution to achieve an intelligent management of MGs and, by extension, the SG. In this frame, this paper surveys several aspects concerning the application of WSANs to manage MGs and the electrical grid, as well as the communication protocols that could be applied. The main concerns regarding the SG deployment are also presented, including future scenarios where the interoperability of different generation technologies must be assured.

“…A typical SCADA communication system generally consists of a master station and many other distributed RTUs [2]. The RTUs are interconnected to the master station through a variety of communication channels, such as radio links, leased lines, fiber optics (as shown in Figure 5), and others [2].…”

“…Closed, isolated, and single user-based architectures are changing into interlinked, standardized systems that support new functionalities, and they are also user friendly and cost efficient. SCADA systems are widely used in industry for monitor and control industrial processes, especially for a plant or for its equipment, such as telecommunications, water and waste control, energy, oil and gas refining, and transportation [1][2][3]. SCADA systems were deployed among power delivery systems several decades ago in the United States.…”

Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems are widely used to monitor and control industrial processes. They provide the key functionality of real-time monitoring, logging/archiving, report generation, and automation for smart grid, which is a promising power delivery system for the near future. On the basis of these functionalities, various SCADA architectures, including hardware and software architecture, have been proposed and standardized; however, the most open and expediently growing areas in the smart grid are the infrastructure and technologies for the SCADA communication and security. In this paper, we provide a review for many documented standards in SCADA, and we also review its state-of-the-art communication and security aspects.
