RTU and HMI Redundancy in Electrical Substations

As the substation RTU takes on more applications, such as Human-Machine-Interface (HMI), alarm annunciation, math & logic and “relay communication processing”, its need for high availability increases. Anything that takes the RTU out of service – configuration change, firmware update, or...

Demand Response

The Demand Response Revolution

For decades, utilities have been deploying demand response to achieve a variety of load shaping objectives, most notably peak reduction in response to grid conditions. Since their inception in the 1990s, independent system operators (ISOs) and regional transmission organizations (RTOs) have also...

Inside the Digital Substation Upgrade: Migrating to IEC 61850 Ed. 2.1, Process Bus, and Interoperable Testing

From Hardwiring to Data Networking

The modernization of substations is as much a communications revolution as a protection one. For decades, copper conductors carried analog signals from instrument transformers to relays and controls. Each new circuit meant more wiring, more panels, and more room for error. IEC 61850 changes that model completely. By transforming measurement and protection data into digital packets, it turns the substation into a high-speed data network rather than a web of...
