Abstract

Information on transmission grid substations such as the status of switchgear, measurement data, and protection alarms are essential for proper day-to-day functions of automated distribution control centers. In Ceylon Electricity Board, Sri Lanka some distribution control centers are operated absence of required transmission information and therefore high demand for providing transmission data to them. Rather than provide required data directly from grid substations to distribution control centers, it was found that it is economical to route necessary data from a central location to the required location. The paper provides a solution by developing a central server which is called the SCADA data gateway server and its communication infrastructure established according to international standards.
