USMA West Point SCADA Project
CLP Engineering completed design, installation, and commissioning of a substation level SCADA system at West Point electrical distribution system. The SCADA system includes digital relays, radio-based secured communication network, automation controllers, firewalls, and SCADA servers.
The SCADA system provides the user with all relevant system data from all substations inclusive of alarms, status, metering, and other relevant system data. The system uses a primary server and a backup server to run HMI & Historian software. System configuration, metering, monitoring, and alarms are visually presented on user-controlled large screens in the Master SCADA Control Room. Historical data are stored in a system historian to be used for long-term reporting and trending. The SCADA system is designed to be cyber-secure and compliant with NIST IR7628.
