Supervisory Control Commands and Switching Orders

This dataset provides a detailed record of supervisory control commands issued by SCADA operators, including device actions, setpoint changes, and switching order validations for safe grid operations. It enables comprehensive analysis of operational procedures, safety compliance, and system reliability in energy infrastructure management.

Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 100 rows came out of a blueprint — 15 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Command ID unique per control action
  • Operator ID and workstation
  • Control type: breaker operate, tap change, setpoint adjust, mode change
  • Select-before-operate (SBO) protocol
  • Command verification and confirmation
  • Interlocking logic to prevent unsafe operations
  • Switching order clearance and tagging
  • Time delay for momentary vs sustained operations
