IEC 61850 is an Ethernet-based global standard for communications and system architecture in substation automation and power distribution systems. It is a standard defined by the common work of both ANSI and IEC together with the main vendors in the substation automation market. IEC 61850 has a standard data modeling and naming convention of the
IEDs, and a common language to configure the devices, providing interoperability between devices as well as engineering tools. The standard has a flexible and open architecture, enabling freedom in
