About remote terminal unit (RTU) in smart grid
A remote terminal unit is a control device that helps the master device (SCADA) monitor and communicate with grid devices placed across different geographical locations. They can be used in a wide variety of electrical and process automation devices where SCADA is required to monitor and control equipment. RTUs are used to collect data from equipment in the field and to transmit commands back from the master device (SCADA). This can be done through wired connections (telephone lines, cables, Ethernet) or wireless connections. The data is sent to the operator in real time so that they are aware of the situation and can carry out any necessary changes to the grid.
RTUs are used in substations to increase automation, leading to optimal distribution of power and correction of any anomalies that can result in loss of power during transmission and distribution, reduction in damage to equipment, and improvement in quality and reliability. RTUs can be used to monitor and control water treatment and distribution plants, power transmission and distribution, and oil and gas pipelines.
