Discom to launch Scada system for real-time monitoring of power distribution in Noida

For real time monitoring of power distribution in Noida, the power distribution company (discom) – Pashchimanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (PVVNL) – will launch a supervisory control and data acquisition (Scada) system on the network soon.

The system can detect the exact location of faults along the network and help reduce the outage time, said discom officials.

Scada is deployed in many industries — from oil and gas to telecommunications — for controlling processes and gathering data in real time.

PVVNL (Noida division) chief engineer Virendra Nath Singh said the system will increase network reliability, reduce costs, improve worker safety and provide greater customer satisfaction.
