Temario
The ongoing evolution of the electrical industry can be proved, nowadays, by the deployment of Smart Grids technologies, aiming at a more efficient and sustainable use of energy. These goals require the upgrade of the network, enhancing the ICT capabilities of the grid, in order to support a bidirectional data exchange, an indispensable basis for the interaction demanded by the new services. This approach leads to, for some years now and as an extended convention, TCP/IP solutions. The IEC 61850 standard, a consequence of this roadmap, is designed to provide a framework for the implementation of these developments in the local networks of electrical substations. Its wide scope and advantages resulted, as well, in its extension to Smart Grid and renewable energy scenarios or electric vehicle charge control.
