Abstract :
Users working in different departments in electric power companies need access to SCADA data. The problem is how to provide low cost and secure access to SCADA data from various locations in the company. An intranet and SCADA system interconnection based on industry-accepted communication standards is hereby presented as a solution. Through a link to SCADA data acquisition and control server, the Web server from the intranet brings SCADA real-time and historical information to users via a single front end, the familiar Web browser. The presented solution provides an information layer that is independent of the operating system, lowers hardware, software and administrative costs while improving reliability and security.
