Deploying integrated, scalable and manageable iec 61850 substation with seamless redundancy

In today's complex substation automation industry, network and system reliability is paramount in ensuring onsite safety and consumer quality of service. One solution to ensure highly-reliable systems communication is to implement network redundancy without a single point of failure. An optimized IEC 61850 network architecture with seamless redundancy technology should provide scalable integration for easy modification of system functionality and extension of the substation. However, existing end devices in substation automation systems are complex and perform many different communication characteristics to ensure redundant communication. An efficient and high interoperability solution to maximize system availability will be the ultimate goal for future deployment.
