Analysis Of A Micro-Grid Behavior By A Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition System- Experimental Validation

The aim of this paper is to present the benefits of the use of Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for the deployment of a micro-grid supplied by hybrid energy system in remote sites and unconnected grids. A microgrid, based in the experimental test site of TechnoCentre eolien (TCE) at Riviere-au-Renard (Quebec), and equipped by a SCADA system has been selected as case study for this paper. An overview on the SCADA communication system of micro grids is presented and several validations by using the SCADA system of the TCE's microgrid are studied and analyzed. Indeed, the SCADA system used in, allows studying different behavior of the TCE's microgrid and it offers effective methods for improving the control systems, equipment performance and the management of remote areas.
