IEC 61850 is the current international standard used for electrical grid data communication and electrical substation modeling. It is optimised for efficient and reliable transfer of process data and commands within and between Intellegent Electronic Devices (IEDs) and substations. IEC 61850 has been designed for use over a high-speed network. This course has been designed for manufacturers and utilities.
