Apply IEC 61850 to Accelerate Automation System Design

Combine IEC 61850 technology, Ethernet networking, and SEL high reliability to perform station computing and protection, automation, and control for distance, current differential, distribution, transformer, bus, motor, and bay control applications.
Features & Benefits	Example Installations
Streamline Configuration With ACSELERATOR^® Architect^® SEL-5032 Software Easily configure and document IEC 61850 communications between devices from multiple suppliers. Easily Change Relay Message Configuration Only SEL relays accept Configured IED Description (CID) files to change the configuration of the IEC 61850 messages, as called for by the standard. Devices from other suppliers use the CID files to document the messages, but require firmware changes or nonstandard settings methods to modify message configuration. Combine Multiple Ethernet Technologies Merge appropriate new Ethernet technologies with existing, proven best engineering practices. Enhance Information Flow Increase reliability with mission-critical IEDs, integrated within the bay and throughout the station via Ethernet networks. Decrease Maintenance Costs Reduce initial cost and maintenance using highly reliable devices with sophisticated self-testing and diagnostics.	30-Substation Modernization Project in Brazil This project includes the complete modernization of 30 distribution substations belonging to Elektro Eletricidade e Serviços S.A., a large electric distribution utilily in Brazil.

Download the Case Study >> PPL Next-Generation Substations Replacing hard-wired connections with digital communications over Ethernet networks requires new engineering and testing practices. PPL Electric Utilities Corporation designed, installed, and tested a new high-voltage substation using next-generation relay and control equipment. This next-generation substation is based on networked Ethernet intelligent electronic devices communicating via IEC 61850. Download the Case Study >> RTU Replacement in the United States An electric utility distribution group replaced pad-mounted switch remote terminal units with SEL-2411 Programmable Automation Controllers communicating via IEC 61850 links. They needed various I/O types and an easily scalable solution to support the different I/O requirements for each of three types of switches. Download the Case Study >>
