The challenges of maintaining and monitoring a remote generator substation are often overlooked when establishing a power grid network. A remote Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system relies on wireless technologies like cellular, microwave, or satellite, each with their own idiosyncratic challenges. For example, cellular technology typically involves addressing network issues such as private IPs, polling timeouts, heartbeat intervals, protocol interoperability, and many more. Deploying a wireless communications system in a remote generator is time consuming and fraught with perils that can ruin a project. The solution will need to be simple enough to reduce the labor and cost required to set up the system, and make seamless integration with SCADA or monitoring software possible.
