Our aim at IEC 61850 Europe 2014 is to put the end-user in the driving seat and allow the utility voice to be heard loud and clear

Post this

(PRWEB UK) 3 September 2014 -- “This is the only end-user driven 61850 event in Europe,” remarks Mandana White, Managing Director at Phoenix Forums, organisers of IEC 61850 Europe 2014. “This year’s agenda goes beyond utility road maps and focuses on large-scale deployments of the standard with strong lessons learnt. Our audience research indicates that while 61850 is now fully accepted as the de facto standard for substation automation in Europe, there is room for closer collaboration between the utility and vendor communities in refining and extending the standard beyond the substation. As such our aim at IEC 61850 Europe 2014 is to put the end-user in the driving seat and allow the utility voice to be heard loud and clear, in order to ensure subsequent editions of the standard are truly application-friendly, cost-effective, and lead to rapid large-scale deployments”.

The event kicks off with a pre-conference workshop on Tuesday 14 October 2014, focusing on the fundamental building blocks of IEC 61850. Delivered by Christoph Brunner, Convenor of IEC TC 57 WG10 and Richard Schimmel of DNV GL, this interactive programme breaks down the standard and provides delegates with a thorough knowledge of its components and optimal applications.

The main conference begins on Wednesday 15 October 2014. The opening session from Iberdrola maps out the organisational and strategic conditions necessary to speed up deployment. Javier Amantegui, Head of Protection & Substation Standardisation Department at Iberdrola comments: “Within Iberdrola Distribution Spain, more than 300 electrical substations, equipped with modern SAS systems, have been built since 1996. In recent years, some of them have been installed based on IEC 61850, in order to test real advantages the new standard may give, verifying interoperability within manufacturers, and visible improvements against manufacturer legacy systems. At IEC 61850 Europe 2014 the experiences gained from our IEC 61850 installations, the advantages and difficulties encountered, the feasibility of seamless integration, and the real impact on present company operational organisations such as Telecontrol, Protection, Maintenance and Engineering departments will be enlightened.”

Other case-study presentations will be given by leading utilities such as: Elia, RTE, National Grid, EDF, CEPRI, Iberdrola, Vattenfall, Eandis, Energinet.dk among others. Working group sessions will take place at the end of conference day one, with the output of each group being presented back to the wider audience at the beginning of conference day two.
