What is
SCADA/EMS/GMS and SCADA/DMS?
SCADA/EMS/GMS (supervisory control and data acquisition/Energy Management SyestemsGeneration Management System) supervises, controls, optimizes and manages generation and transmission systems. SCADA/DMS Distribution Management systems performs the same functions for power distribution networks.
Both systems enable utilities to collect, store and analyze data from hundreds of thousands of data points in national or regional networks, perform network modeling, simulate power operation, pinpoint faults, preempt outages, and participate in energy trading markets.
1960’s SCADA/EMS/GMS systems at that time were designed exclusively for a single customer. Power systems were vulnerable, and there was a need to develop applications and tools for preventing faults from developing into large-scale outages.
In the 1980s it became possible to model large-scale distribution networks in a standardized way. The deregulation and privatization of the power industry that began in the 1990s was the biggest structural change in the industry’s history. Specialization became increasingly common, with many utilities focusing on either generation, transmission or distribution.

Smart Metering and
Smart Grid technologies impacts ,Network management is a
prerequisite and vital for any smart grid of the future. These grids will have
to incorporate and manage centralized and distributed power generation,
intermittent sources of renewable energy like wind and solar power, allow
consumers to become producers and export their excess power, enable
multi-directional power flow from many different sources, and integrate
real-time pricing and load management data.
