Substation automation for safe and intelligent energy distribution
The growing complexity of the energy infrastructure – due to renewable feed-in, grid modernization and increasing supply requirements – calls for future-proof solutions. With Substation Automation, TRIPS offers customized systems for controlling, monitoring and protecting your energy distribution systems.
Our solutions combine protection technology, control, communication and visualization on an integrated platform – standard-compliant, scalable and individually adapted to your network architecture.
SCADA - Central intelligence for your energy distribution
The SCADA system (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is at the heart of every substation automation system. It takes over the central control and monitoring of your energy systems – across all locations, in real time and with maximum availability. SCADA enables precise visualization of all grid and system data, detects faults immediately and provides comprehensive information for analysis, maintenance and optimization. Through integration into our protection and automation solutions, SCADA forms the interface between the field and control level, creating a consistent communication structure – open, scalable and future-proof.
With SCADA from TRIPS you benefit from:
Transparent visualization of energy flows and system statuses
Fast fault detection & targeted troubleshooting
Long-term process evaluation & archiving
Integration into ERP and network control systems
Thanks to established protocols such as OPC UA, IEC 61850 or MQTT, your system remains open, flexible and future-proof.

Substation automation refers to the automated control and monitoring of substations. It increases grid reliability, reduces downtimes and enables economical, future-proof operation through real-time monitoring, rapid fault detection and remote access to all system components.
The SCADA system is the central control point for monitoring and controlling your energy system. It visualizes operating statuses, records data in real time, reports faults and supports the optimization of energy flows – locally or across locations.
In the substation automation, the SCADA system records all of the substation’s operating data in real time – such as voltages, currents, switching statuses or fault events. This data is visualized, analysed and archived. SCADA communicates directly with IEDs, RTUs and protection devices via standardized protocols such as IEC 61850, OPC UA or Modbus, thus enabling the central control and monitoring of all system components – even across different locations. This creates a consistent, highly available energy automation system with fast response times and secure remote access.
Depending on the requirements, we use SIPROTEC devices for distance protection, differential protection, overcurrent protection or earth fault detection. Parameterization is carried out via DIGSI – individually tailored to your network structure and system requirements.
Grid calculations such as short-circuit and load flow analyses provide an important basis for planning and design. They ensure that protection systems, transformers and control systems work together optimally – efficiently, safely and in compliance with standards.
