Slides for Part 1 of a Series on IEC 61850: Studies of Digital Secondary Systems (DSS)

This webinar will provide an outline of IEC 61850 methods within the broader context of the digital transformation of energy control systems (ECS). Functionality and communications topologies of several common DSS methods used around the world to replace RTUs and traditional substation wiring practices will be presented. Future webinars will introduce the fundamentals of Ethernet in DSS, object-oriented data and standardized data models, dataflow design, engineering processes of digitization of substations, methods for communications resiliency, and features to monitor, troubleshoot, and service DSS installations.
