Analysis and Design of a Modern SCADA System: planning, design, and analysis procedure of a modern SCADA system for electrical power distribution in Nineveh city

(SCADA) systems play an important role in enhancing industrial and automation systems. This book presents planning, design, and analysis procedure of a modern SCADA system for the purpose of electrical power distribution in Nineveh city. The procedure followed includes; suggesting a suitable wired network (Ethernet) topology to connect the system using cost-reliability optimization algorithm. Then the system is designed using Wireless Mesh Networking (WMN) network (and DSR as one of its protocols) as a wireless backup network in case of any server failure of the network system. The OPNET package is used as a simulation tool to build the different models which reflect real working conditions From this procedure, an optimum SCADA system is suggested taking into account all the necessary parameters.
