SCADA system for power system laboratory

Abstract

The present report shows the design and implementation of a SCADA system for power system laboratory enabled to acquire data from various power electronics modules connected into the same local area network. The main focus was to develop a reliable SCADA software that is able to monitor and analyze the electrical fow within the building to provide a more in-depth analysis of the electrical network. The software uses the famous ModbusTCP communication protocol to poll metric data from digital power analyzer units used in the laboratory, it is possible to display all measured values and operating states inside the system in real time on the existing measuring instruments, or even select, record and export the results to CSV or Excel ?les. The presented application is written in python3 programming language, and it uses Qt for the GUI and other libraries to manage communications and databases.
