Yes, the SCADA system at the National Load Dispatch Center (NLDC) can provide you with important details about the incident if a line to line fault occurs on a 400 kV transmission line, but it is not sufficient on its own to develop a complete case study.
Yes, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems at a National Load Dispatch Centre (NLDC) or Regional/State Load Dispatch Centre (RLDC/SLDC) can provide significant but not complete details about a 400 kV line-to-line fault that caused a blackout via automatic relay operation.
Here's what SCADA can and cannot typically do in such cases:
SCADA Can Provide:
SCADA Cannot Provide:
Load Dispatch and dispatchers seldom have access to the transient details. They can see when the event occurred. Even what breakers operated at what locations. Steady state conditions of the system.
They don't know if the issue was line to line or line to ground. That is the system protection folks. That is part of SCADA. Event logs that capture transient activity are recorder, but a dispatcher could care less about those details in the moment.
