Smart Grid: Substation Automation Systems & IEC 61850
Substation Automation Systems (SAS) are widely used in modern power networks to improve power distribution reliability, efficiency and safety.
IEC 61850 is at the core of this digital evolution, an advanced worldwide standard that allows Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) within a substation to communicate seamlessly.
Why IEC 61850 Important?
IEC 61850 is more than a protocol; it is a comprehensive framework for faster, smarter and more interoperable substation operations.
Advantages of IEC 61850
-
Multi-vendor IED interoperability
-
Fast and dependable peer-to-peer communication
-
Reduced copper wiring & maintenance effort
-
Scalable design with extensive remote monitoring capabilities.
