This article discusses leveraging a utility's supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system for performance efficiency. The article begins by listing the technical elements of a SCADA system, and explains the two categories of users and the five levels of SCADA systems operation. The article discusses the numerous possibilities presented by SCADA systems for improvement by categorizing control and automation strategies. An inset on understanding the SCADA life cycle is included.
