ENTSO-E (European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity) wants to become “an important stakeholder in the IEC 61850 improvement process and will actively contribute, mainly through the profiling work of the IEC 61850 standard.”
ENTSO-E has just published an update on their current and future support of IEC 61850.
I very much appreciate the efforts of the European Transmission System Operators!

The electrical power delivery system is composed of many other domains that are beyond the substations in transmission systems:
- Conventional Power Generation
- Wind Power Plants
- Hydro Power Plants
- Distribution systems
- Renewable Energy Resources
- Load centers (like factories, petro chemical plant, …)
- Power quality monitoring
- Virtual Power Plants
- Primary, secondary, and tertiary control
- Load shedding
- …
IEC 61850 is about to be used in all of these application domains – to become a Seamless Information Exchange System.
Many pilot implementations and tests are underway in these domains. Usually using proprietary Information Exchange System, because the main objectives of these projects are mainly related to power system dynamics and stability – one way or the other. Later they figure out: Hey, we have a very successful project … but created many proprietary, non-interoperable Information Exchange Systems.
It is highly recommended to use IEC 61850 from the scratch! Because this is THE standard. There is usually no need to spend money and time to develop something specific for one use case.
On my radar screen I see many people starting to use IEC 61850 – users and vendors … and system integrators. All over.
Resume: ENTSO-E is just ONE of MANY efforts to apply IEC 61850.
