Abstract

Local and remote control and equipment monitoring is vital in various trades such as electricity utilities, water treatment, manufacturing, etc. Hence, most organizations use Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. Thus, the appropriate connection of SCADA components and smart city enabling technologies is vital for the optimum functioning of a smart energy management system. Information and Operational Technologies (IT/OT) are essential in smart cities to enable a seamless data flow to improve city services and the quality of life. Furthermore, due to the limitations of legacy SCADA systems, such as inflexibility. This study seeks to develop an electricity utility SCADA system architecture of a smart city using modern technologies such as cloud computing. The study finds that an IoT-SCADA system integrated with other smart city applications delivers the benefits of smart energy management and the goals of smart cities.
