IEC 61850 Standard for Substation Automation

IEC 61850 is a standard for the design of electrical substation automation. IEC61850 is an important new international standard for substation automation that will have a very significant impact on how electric power systems are designed and built for many years to come. IEC61850 is a part of the International Electro technical Commission’s (IEC) Technical Committee 57 (TC57) architecture for electric power systems. IEC 61850 is a world-wide accepted standard for Ethernet-based communication in substations. It is important for an Electrical Engineer to know more about the structure and constitution of this standard.

IEEE Standards for download

Being an electrical engineer you will come to some incidence where you have to quote or refer the standards. Standards are very difficult to get because people keep only the popular ones. But on many occasions we have to produce some rare standards. Here you can get it from http://www.beuth.de Here you will find IEEE Standards for download - All IEEE Standards can be downloaded in PDF-format from the Beuth webshop. These doccuments are arranged in a professional manner so that you can download them very fast and easy. Here you also find national and international document collections 54 document collections published by 47 organizations online searchable. Over 135,000 of these documents are downloadable.
