Abstract

SCADA is the acronym for “Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition.” SCADA systems are widely used in industry for supervisory control and data acquisition of industrial processes. Conventional SCADA systems use PC, notebook, thin client, and PDA as a client. In this paper, a Java-enabled mobile phone has been used as a client in a sample SCADA application in order to display and supervise the position of a sample prototype crane. The paper presents an actual implementation of the on-line controlling of the prototype crane via mobile phone. The wireless communication between the mobile phone and the SCADA server is performed by means of a base station via general packet radio service (GPRS) and wireless application protocol (WAP). Test results have indicated that the mobile phone based SCADA integration using the GPRS or WAP transfer scheme could enhance the performance of the crane in a day without causing an increase in the response times of SCADA functions. The operator can visualize and modify the plant parameters using his mobile phone, without reaching the site. In this way maintenance costs are reduced and productivity is increased.

It is in this context that we propose in this work to prevent untimely breakdowns, reduce the duration of the downtime necessary for maintenance and optimize the operating time of each component of the system. The SCADA system is a very powerful solution for controlling complex electrical systems and which brings together all of the supervisor's functionality (Chartre, 2006; Ozdemir and Karacor, 2005). For this our work presents the development of decision support tools for the definition of maintenance strategies with the optimization of the reliability of the supervision system, we chose to adapt the data acquisition approach and remote monitoring (SCADA) in this work, for all types of equipment in smart grid installations.
Smart grids studies focus on improving their reliability and reducing the cost of energy, particularly when they are operated offshore. Smart grids Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems contain alarm signals providing significant important information. Pattern recognition embodies a set of promising techniques for intelligently processing smart grid SCADA alarms. This paper presents the feasibility study of SCADA alarm processing and description of the functional and operational control-command applications method SA-RT (Structured Analysis Real Time) is presented. The purpose of this article is to propose a general methodology of analysis and supervision of control-command applications based on the SA-RT method as well as the SCADA system
Secure SCADA communication by using a modified key management scheme
2013, ISA Transactions
Citation Excerpt :
With the rapid progress in the data collection, data analysis and control of equipments from remote locations, Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) networks provide great efficiency in critical industries and infrastructures such as water, gas, oil and power generation systems [1–3].
This paper presents and evaluates a new cryptographic key management scheme which increases the efficiency and security of the Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) communication. In the proposed key management scheme, two key update phases are used: session key update and master key update. In the session key update phase, session keys are generated in the master station. In the master key update phase, the Elliptic Curve Diffie–Hellman (ECDH) protocol is used. The Poisson process is also used to model the Security Index (SI) and Quality of Service (QoS). Our analysis shows that the proposed key management not only supports the required speed in the MODBUS implementation but also has several advantages compared to other key management schemes for secure communication in SCADA networks.
