Title:

SCADA Design with the Implementation of Remote PMUs

SCADA systems are used throughout the field of engineering and utilities due to its monitoring and control capabilities of remote field devices. The goal for this project was to create our own SCADA system for UNH’s power grid and construct remote phasor measurement units (PMU) that would measure AC voltage directly from a wall outlet. This would allow us to determine the quality of power supplied around campus and provide instantaneous data to the SCADA operator via the created HMI SCADA screen. These remote devices were designed and programmed with cost effective raspberry pi computers. Although the group was able to record some of this continuous data from wall outlets across campus, the team was unsuccessful with transferring the data from the raspberry pi to the SCADA system. If the group was successful in transferring the data to the system, the SCADA operator would have access to information such as voltage, frequency, and other data in real time. The operator would also then be able to monitor, log and control the raspberry pi computers remotely. It was also possible to demonstrate the wide range of uses with this technology with additional temperature, humidity, and light sensing data to be collected that could be implemented in other facets of engineering.
