Brief History of SCADA system from various on-line sources and links
Below are some of the articles which talks about the brief history and development of SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) system. These articles would be a great help for those who wants to know how and when SCADA system originated.
Evolution of SCADA (A Brief History of SCADA/EMS)
Supervisory Control, Data Acquisition, and Automatic Generation Control, were used in Electric Utility power system control for over sixty years. Each had separate beginnings, went through several evolutions in implementation, and eventually came together with Network Analysis and other functions to become computer based Energy Management Systems. This writing will attempt to trace their history and evolution from approximately 1950 to 2000.

History of SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition)
Electric power systems as we know them began developing in the early 20th century. Initially, generating plants were associated only with local loads that typically consisted of lighting and electric transportation.If anything in the system failed — generating plant, power lines, or connections — the lights would quite literally be “out.” Customers had not yet learned to depend on electricity being nearly 100% reliable, so outages, whether routine or emergency, were taken as a matter of course.

The History of SCADA
SCADA systems became popular in the 1960’s as the need to monitor and control remote equipment grew. Early SCADA systems used mainframe technology and required human operators to make action decisions and maintain the information systems. Because this increased the human labor cost, early SCADA systems were very expensive to maintain. Today, SCADA is generally much more automated, and consequently more cost-efficient.

A Brief History of SCADA
SCADA Systems provide real-time monitoring and control of your facilities, and is an acronym for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. Its fundamental purpose is to remotely monitor a range of processes, collect real-time data and then perform analysis on the accumulated data. The foundation of SCADA can be researched back to the 1960's, when simple input and output devices were used to remotely monitor operations in industrial applications. Due to technology advancements, SCADA systems have now developed using advanced software, high performance microprocessors and wireless technology. Additionally, SCADA systems deliver productivity and operational efficiencies by improving the reliability and stability of your system.

The Evolution of SCADA/EMS/GMS (from ABB)
SCADA/EMS/GMS (supervisory control and data acquisition/Energy Management System/Generation Management System) supervises, controls, optimizes and manages generation and transmission systems. SCADA/DMS (Distribution Management System) performs the same functions for power distribution networks. Both systems enable utilities to collect, store and analyze data from hundreds of thousands of data points in national or regional networks, perform network modeling, simulate power operation, pinpoint faults, preempt outages, and participate in energy trading markets.
