Synopsis

This book covers the digitalization of the grid from a practical point of view and helps you understand the principles used in the development of the standard and its benefits in all aspects of the specialist's everyday work. The IEC 61850 standard is a new communications protocol and a completely new engineering environment using named data objects and attributes that support the interoperability between multifunctional devices from different manufacturers integrated in protection, automation, and control systems. The book explains the contribution of the standard in introducing high-speed peer-to-peer communications that support different substation and wide area protection and automation related applications. Readers will be introduced to the different parts of the standard and their evolution from a substation-centered approach toward its expansion that targets the coverage of the different domains of the smart grid. It approaches the subject from a practical point utilizing an expert's years of experience and provides numerous examples of the application of the standard for protection, automation, and control in the smart grid. This is an excellent resource for utility specialists, educators in colleges and universities, researchers developing protection, automation, and control devices in systems based on the standard, and consultants helping with the implementation of the standard in different projects.
