The Smart Grid revolution is transforming the energy industry by using digital technology to deliver electricity from suppliers to consumers in a more intelligent, efficient, and transparent way. Embedded control and communication devices are central to this transformation by adding intelligent automation to "dumb" electrical networks. In addition to the IEC 61850 communication standard, IEC 61850-3 sets ruggedized and environmental standards for networked systems used in power substations. read more
