WAYS OF IMPROVING THE MANAGEMENT OF THE SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND DATA ACQUISITION (SCADA) AUTOMATED SYSTEM IN ELECTRIC POWER

The purpose of the scientific paper is to analyze the issues of improving the management of the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) automated system in electric power, which includes a comparative analysis of the development stages of the SCADA system, the use of cloud technologies, the introduction of modern digital applications that serve for real-time recording, control, monitoring of energy objects and others. It ensures significant development of the field of electric energy. Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) automated system improvement methods in electric power within the framework of the research project, the issues of supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) automated system (SCADA) management improvement issues were analyzed and research questions were developed. 101 respondents were interviewed. The data was collected electronically, through an online survey of employees working in different structural units of the Georgian state electrosystem, who were users of the SCADA system. The survey will study the issues of improving the management of the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) automated system in electric power, which ensures the reduction of the number of technological accidents, the sustainability of the sector, the improvement of the quality of management and the speed of work in electric power. If the recommendations obtained as a result of the research are implemented, the energy system will become more stable and efficient. The mentioned study will be useful for the electric power companies of different countries where SCADA system is introduced or implemented.The article was written within the framework of the Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University research project "Ways to improve the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) automated system in electric power". A comparative analysis of the development stages of the SCADA system in terms of each component of the system is discussed in the scientific paper. The implementation of the research results will affect the development of the professionalism of SCADA users, as well as provide simplification, speed and high quality of the work of the management link of the personnel. Accordingly, this will contribute to the improvement of the field of electric energy.
