Abstract
This study assesses the three (3) phases of the three-year implementation of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) project for twenty-seven (27) substations of Peninsula Electric Cooperative in its pursuit of reliability and safety of power system for better electric service. The assessment aims to measure the degree of improvement in terms of reliability and safety for the accomplished Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 of the project implementation. The data on power interruption occurrence before and after the implementation of SCADA was presented to show the improvement in reliability. Furthermore, the data on the response of protection in the substations were also collected and interpreted to see the improvement in safety structures of acquired SCADA. Given the initial findings, PENELCO may use the results of the study as guide in assessing the succeeding phases of the project implementation.
