Overview

Advancements in communication including the addition of IEC 61850, provides enhanced flexibility, higher performance and ease-of-configuration. This feature provides an interface for monitoring, control and automation for substations. This technology is being increasingly implemented at the industrial level where it allows distributed automation across large facilities for applications in load shedding, protections, and demand control.
