IEC 61850 is the new emerging standard that is now being applied
to many new substation designs to allow for interoperability between
manufacturers of substation devices. This course will introduce the
major sections of the IEC 61850 standard including substation design,
communication methods and monitoring and control applications. Students will also configure communication networks as described
by the IEC 61850 standard and test the performance of the different
methods of Peer-to-Peer messaging that are defined in the protocol.
Protection and Electrical Engineers responsible for substation
design, relay configuration, system communications or substation
control applications will benefit from this course. System Integrators
responsible for configuring SCADA or HMI Monitoring and Control
systems using the IEC 61850 protocol will also benefit from this
course.
