Introduction:

Objectives: This innovation project seeks to design and develop a standard SCADA system using open source technology that removes the complexities and demonstrates reduced TOTEX costs currently associated with SCADA systems as well as being:

• Be fully compliant and aligned with National Grid’s cyber protocols.
• A common strategy / solution across National Grid’s compressor fleet.
• Upgradable / maintainable independently from control systems.
• A modular package.
• G/19 type approved that would be owned and managed by National Grid.
• Open source platform with National Grid retaining the intellectual property and independence from the OEM and system vendors.
