公用事业公司有几种设计方法和采购方法可用于监控和数据采集（SCADA）的实施。许多作者都写过关于一种方法/方法的好处，或者比较了几种方法/方法对质量、进度和成本的影响。假设必须为整个项目选择设计方法和采购方法，并将该方法应用于项目的所有要素。然而，对单个项目的元素应用不同的技术是可能的。 本文是对佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔市JEA（正式称为杰克逊维尔电力管理局）在执行SCADA建设项目时，利用各种设计方法和采购方法的优势进行的一个项目的案例研究。通过混合方法，他们获得了多种好处，其中一些被认为是相互排斥的。包括8个参考文献，图。

Utilities have several design approaches and procurement methods available forSupervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) implementation. Numerous authorshave written about the benefits of one approach/method or compared severalapproaches/methods with regard to impacts on quality, schedule and cost. It isoften assumed that one must select a design approach and procurement method for anentire project and apply that approach and method to all elements of a project. However, itis possible to apply different techniques to the elements of a single project. This paper is acase study of a project in which the JEA (formally Jacksonville Electric Authority) of Jacksonville, Florida, used amixture of design approaches andprocurement methods to their advantage in the execution of a SCADA construction project.By mixing approaches they obtained multiple benefits, some of which are thought to bemutually exclusive.
