eCOM 202: Introduction to IEC 61850
Description
eCOM 202 provides an introductory look at the practical application of IEC 61850. The goal of this course is to gain a basic comprehension of the fundamentals and protocols specified within the standard. Topics include network architecture, redundancy, time synchronization, and an emphasis on the following protocols: GOOSE, MMS, and Sampled Values in digital secondary systems (DSSs).
Students will learn terminology and concepts through recorded lecture, videos, and exercises.
Audience
Utility engineers and technicians who have an interest in learning the fundamentals of IEC 61850-based communications protection and automation systems or are evaluating IEC 61850 for future plans should attend this course. This includes utility protection engineers, automation engineers, integration engineers, and communications engineers.
