Abstract
The development of smart grids to operate electric power grids has helped in improving the efficiency and reliability of the electricity supply system. Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is a vital feature of the smart grid since it enables dynamic pricing of electricity, makes meter readings more accurate, reduces the load on the grid during peak hours etc. Integration of a smart grid with a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system has made the process of supervision and control quite straightforward. However, implementing an actual smart grid with AMI and SCADA integration requires meticulous planning, as it is a very expensive and risky project to undertake. Thus, before implementing the system with actual hardware components, an important precursor is to perform a realistic simulation so as to obtain an accurate layout of the system and understand its inner workings. By executing the simulation, crucial information can be gathered on the system and its behavior, and the infrastructure required to implement it on a large scale. This article explores the simulation of a Smart Grid SCADA system with Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) in IGSS (Interactive Graphical SCADA System).
