Substation Automation System (SAS)

IEC 61850-Compliant Architecture

IEC 61850 enables seamless integration of equipment from multiple manufacturers by defining common data structures and naming conventions, reducing engineering time and ensuring long-term system flexibility.

Three Level Architecture

  • SCADA HMI and operator workstations
  • Engineering workstations
  • Historian and database servers
  • GPS time synchronization
  • Cybersecurity gateways
  • Protection and control IEDs
  • Bay controllers
  • Merging units
  • IEC 61850 Ethernet switches
  • Substation gateway
  • Current and voltage transformers (conventional & non-conventional)
  • Circuit breakers and switchgear
  • Sensors and transducers
  • Actuators and control devices

Key Features & Capabilities

GOOSE messaging (Generic Object-Oriented Substation Events) allows IEDs to communicate critical event data in under 4 milliseconds, enabling:

  • Peer-to-peer protective relay coordination
  • Fast bus transfer schemes
  • Breaker failure protection
  • Interlocking and safety logic
  • Load shedding automation

Supported Protocols:

  • IEC 61850 (MMS, GOOSE, Sampled Values)
  • DNP3 / DNP3 Secure Authentication
  • IEC 60870-5-104 (Telecontrol)
  • Modbus TCP/RTU (Industrial devices)
  • OPC UA (Enterprise integration)
  • C37.118 (Synchrophasor/PMU)

We integrate equipment from all major manufacturers:

  • ABB - System 800xA, Relion protection
  • Schneider Electric - EcoStruxure, MiCOM relays
  • Siemens - WinCC/SICAM, SIPROTEC relays
