The New Comprehensive Seminar
5-day comprehensive public seminar for Automation, Protection, Monitoring, Engineering, Configuration (SCL), SCADA, Smart Grids, RTU, Gateways, … cyber physical security in electrical systems of any industrial plant …
The reason for the update: We want to do more than teaching the theory of IEC 6850 and demonstrate single IEDs … we want to let our practice talk for your practice. The new training will start in March 2026. Taking the experience with many crucial applications of IEC 61850 into account we offer a new program for a 5-day course:
1 day IEC 61850 series
Introduction and Fundamentals for Automation, Protection, Monitoring, Engineering (SCL), Testing, SCADA, Smart Grids, RTU, Gateways, Editions, Engineering, Future of the standard series, … Which parts are important? Market situation? How mature are the devices, tools, and network infrastructure?
1½ day IEC 61850 in practice
Protection & Automation, Network Infrastructure, Cyber Security, in real Industrial Parks (Generation, Substation, …), … How do I migrate from Ed1 IEDs to Ed2.1 IEDs and tools? How to time synchronize the system? How to configure the Ethernet Switches, VLANs, redundancy, …? How to apply the standard in brownfield projects? How to meet grid codes for MV and HV?
1½ day Protection using IEC 61850 in modern digital systems
Discover how digital substations bring protection to the next level: process bus, Merging Units, GOOSE and Sampled Values, redundancy and time synchronization. Learn how to specify, commission, test, validate and secure IEC 61850-based protection systems, with real cases from utilities and insights into Digital Twin applications. The session follows the latest standardization activities in IEC TC 95, TC 38 and TC 17, and introduces the mandatory mechanisms defined in IEC 60255-216-1.
1 day Cyber physical security for IEC 61850
Enhance your understanding of energy system cybersecurity and learn about real-world attacks on energy infrastructure while exploring the unique cybersecurity challenges faced by substations utilizing IEC 61850. This course will help you gain practical skills in risk assessment and threat modeling and you will discover how IDS and SIEM systems can detect and respond to threats, with an overview of best practices, and following key regulations and standards like IEC 62443 and IEC 62351.
