Power system
communication SCADA Communication

■ Control and monitor the power network

■ Substations are the interface between
automation system and process
■ Exchange of
– Status information
– Measurements
– Event records
– Control commands
■ Examples: IEC 60870-5, DNP3, vendor specific
telecontrol protocols

communication Communication between control centers

■ Exchange of information between e.g. regional

control centers
– Schedules
– Load flows
– Etc
■ Example: TASE 2 (IEC 60870-6)
