What’s driving utilities to embrace IEC 61850?

Summary

Utilities are evolving their operating environments to keep up with new energy demands and a fast-changing technology landscape. Many are integrating utility-scale and residential distributed energy resources (DERs) into their electric grids at an unprecedented pace. Meanwhile, the TDM technology they use for communications in IEDs such as relays and RTUs is approaching end-of-life.

Watch our on-demand webinar to learn why more and more utilities are responding to these changes by using the IEC 61850 standard to digitalize and automate their grids.
