Smart Grid Communications and IEC 61850
Wednesday, May 14, 2014
Jim Toepper
Moxa
About the Topic
Smart grid is the hot topic these days, but how do we put it into
practice? Because we are going through a technical revolution as it
relates to the substation, it is imperative that we begin to embrace
the inevitable... 61850.
This presentation will focus at a high level on 61850, the protocol,
the certification, the mindset. We will take a look at networking and
communications in the substation and how it relates to 61850. We will
also look at why 61850, and its common attributes.
