I have been asked recently about the application of IEC 61850 in Hydro Power Plants. Yes, there is growing interest to apply IEC 61850 conformant monitoring and control systems in the hydro domain.
A nice presentation from (Ingeteam Power Technology S.A.) with the title
HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANTS AUTOMATION USING IEC 61850:
EXPERIENCES AND IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE USER
presented in April 2014
closes with the statement that “IEC 61850 is a valid solution for hydro power plant automation … More than 10 IEC 61850 hydro projects mainly in Spain.”

The use of IEC 61850 for conventional power plants is also growing. I have conducted several training courses in 2014 for engineers working in the power plant business.
Be sure: More to come.
