RTUs in the power industry seamlessly integrate with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. They act as a bridge between field devices and the central SCADA control center, facilitating real-time data acquisition and control.

RTUs are deployed in electrical substations to collect data from sensors and devices, including voltage, current, power quality, temperature, and equipment status. This data is essential for monitoring the health and performance of the substation.

RTUs enable remote control of equipment within substations or along power transmission and distribution lines. This includes the ability to remotely open or close circuit breakers, switch capacitor banks, and control other devices.

RTUs monitor transformers for parameters such as temperature, oil level, and winding currents. This information is crucial for preventive maintenance and early detection of potential transformer failures.

To ensure reliable communication in critical power applications, RTUs often support communication redundancy through methods such as dual communication links or alternate paths.

RTUs monitor power quality parameters, including voltage sags, swells, harmonics, and other disturbances. Power quality data helps ensure the stability of the power grid and compliance with regulatory standards.

RTUs in the power industry comply with industry standards and regulations, ensuring interoperability and adherence to safety and performance guidelines.
