IEC 61850

The articles and case studies deal with a wide scope of issues that will be incorporated into the standard of IEC 61850 or its extensions in the upcoming years. The standardization bodies are currently working to extend the IEC 61850 standards to several other areas along the "supply chain" or "lifeline" of electric power systems:

Basics:

* Standardization of electric power delivery systems - The extensions to IEC 61850 Edition 1
* Designing next generation's protection systems - Multi-object capability increases availability
* Approach to optimized process bus architecture - Careful design promises benefits for the future
* Connection of high-voltage equipment - to the process bus based on IEC 61850
* Ethernet in IEC 61580 - The efficient technology for station and process applications
* IEC 61580 process bus - It's real - Advantages for NCIT's
* New challenges in distributed testíng - IEC 61850 based applications require different scenarios

Hands-On:

* Improving wind farm operations - through consistant use of the IEC 61400-25 and IEC 61850 standards
* Modern applications examples leveraging - Benefits of IEC 61850 in open environments
* A practical architecture for IEC 61850 Process Bus - Specific design considerations
* Homogenous networks in mission critical applications - Standards for the electric power industry
* Enabling new applications with IEC 61850 - Controlling and monitoring power generation with IEC 61850
* Communication is vital - Next generation IEDs offer a lot of possibilities
* Automated Acceptance testin of IEC 61850 - Optimize the testing from utility point of view
* Areas for redundancy in Ethernet Systems - with focus on IEC 61850 applications
* Sinple and flexible - Efficient engineering in accordance with IEC 61850
* IEC 61850 based Substation Automation Systems - Experiences with products and components
* IEC 61850 System Engineering - A practical approach to tool interoperability
