Data acquisition systems for small-scale energy generation sources

The paper presents technological solutions that make possible to develop supervision systems to control operation of low-power energy generation sources. Operation of currently used control systems depends on technical conditions, needs of the source operator, and the binding energy law. The mentioned conditions do not cover the whole technological potential offered by modern devices that compose the SCADA system. That is why the paper presents new standards of data exchange and equipment that can be applied to develop a supervision system that supplies the required information to both the operator of generation sources and the power system operator with Such a solution makes possible to optimize the source and system operation with the application of various decision criteria.
