NEW STANDARD published and ready for use

IEC 61850-7-410

Communication networks and systems for power utility automation

Part 7- 410: Hydroelectric power plants - Communication for monitoring and control

The FDIS (Final draft international standard) - 57/886/FDIS - has been approved in July 2007 by 100 per cent !! (Preview of the standard, other parts)

The new standard adds another 60 Logical Nodes to the IEC 61850 series (the new LNs in IEC 61850-7-410 are marked in red) see below.

The first procurements refer already to this new standard

First vendors of hydro power plants and control systems have started to implement the new standard ... the largest Hydro Power Plant worlswide (Itaipu Binacional, Brazil) received already an intesive training by Christoph Brunner and Karlheinz Schwarz:
