R&D Nester presents paper on future generation substations
In the beginning of October, André dos Santos attended the 16th annual IEEE Electric Power and Energy Conference EPEC 2016 to present a paper produced in the scope of the Substation of the Future entitle "Integrated Simulation Model of Power System Protection Schemes and Process Bus Communication Networks". The presented work is related to the development breakthrough in combining power systems simulation and ICT simulation, an important tool required to study Smart Grids in general, Protection and Automation Systems based on IEC 61850, System Integrity Protection and many other active topics of our industry.
The EPEC 2016 was focused on "Smart Grid and Beyond: Future of the Integrated Power System" and brought the attention to new concepts and technologies that are being developed, deployed, and integrated in the evolving Smart Grid. Smart Grids were discussed as a confluence of many hi-tech and traditional power engineering disciplines that are advancing individually and are merging together.
