An Efficient Approach of Load Shifting by Using SCADA

In the past few years, the consumption of electricity has been increased in the power of ten's and the demands of consumers are increasing day by day. Power management, in these days, is a big challenge for the regulatory authorities in Pakistan. The power which is delivered to the consumers is in less quantity as compared to the production mainly due to the losses in transmission and some other factors. In the recent years, many projects are implemented to boost the distribution system but of no use due to no proper management. In our recent project, we have implemented SCADA on the electricity distribution system to deliver electricity according to demand in a certain area. A geographical area is divided in to three cities and these cities are further divided in four sectors as Industrial, Commercial, Residential and Social sectors. All these sectors have different load requirements in different intervals of time. Electricity is distributed in these sectors according to the requirement effectively and in less time as before by implementing SCADA. Also all the sectors are connected with the main station via LAN or Wireless network by which they can communicate easily.
