Substation design and testing is a notoriously complex and difficult task. Traditional design and documentation methods are tedious, requiring meticulous attention to detail and are often difficult to validate. New designs are costly to develop, difficult to test, and any templated approach must be manually tracked and maintained.
The Full Potential of IEC61850
From its inception, the IEC 61850 standard has been designed as both a communication protocol, and an accompanying engineering process. This engineering process was designed to incorporate best practices and lessons learned from the previous century of utility substation engineering, while adding modern features such as standardization, interoperability, scalability, precise documentation, and ease of simulation, all while reducing engineering efforts and associated costs.
