Introduction into IEC 61850 and Digital Substations
This course is a unique combination of information both on IEC 61850 standard and networking technologies, used in digital substations.
In approximately 2 hours you will get to know the key differences in implementation of protection and control systems for conventional and digital substations; IEC 61850 communication models, IEC 61850 data model, System Configuration Language and SCL file types; you will understand the basic elements and operation of Local Area Networks in substations, aspects of traffic management (VLANs and static multicast filtering) and time synchronization requirements and methods. In the final part you will get to know possible approaches of digital substations in regard to used IEC 61850 communication models and LAN topologies.

Basics of Local Area Networks and Time Synchronization in digital substations
These lecture gives students a knowledge on basic elements of Local Area Networks (LAN) in substation. Students will understand how Ethernet switches operate, types of traffic in digital substations, traffic management aspects, redundancy protocols and time synchronization requirements and methods.
3
Digital substation implementations overview
In the final lecture students will see the examples of digital substation implementation approaches and possible configurations of LAN topologies, depending on how IEC 61850 is applied in substation.
