Past Training

In July 2021, we provided our popular combined Tier I & II course: Fundamentals and Principles of IEC 61850 & Advanced IEC 61850 Training with Hands-on Digital Substation Workshop. Usually Tier I & II is a 5-day course, but it was delivered over 9 days of training. The course was delivered virtually, including the hands-on Mobile Digital Substation workshop sessions, where the participating utility engineers and technicians remotely configured and observed operation of process-level and station-level communications in the real, physical IEDs.

In June 2021, we provided a Tier I course for an SCE group consisting of protection and automation designers, SCADA engineers, and testing and commissioning staff. This course served as a ‘refresher’ for members of the group who work with IEC 61850 daily, reinforcing the distinction between the requirements published in the standard and the functionality available in vendor implementations.

In January 2021, we provided our popular combined Tier I & II course: Fundamentals and Principles of IEC 61850 & Advanced IEC 61850 Training with Hands-on Digital Substation Workshop. The course was delivered virtually, including the hands-on Mobile Digital Substation workshop sessions, where the participating utility engineers and technicians remotely configured and observed operation of process-level and station-level communications in the real, physical IEDs. This was a critical step in Hydro One’s journey towards their first substation designs incorporating Sampled Values.

In October 2019, we shipped the Mobile Digital Substation to Thailand, along with three of our trainers. Over the next two weeks we met with an engaged cohort of participants, who quickly grasped the concepts of the theoretical and theoretical aspects of the standards. These learnings were then applied in the hands-on workshops by configuring the Mobile Digital Substation devices with time synchronization (PTP), Sampled Values (SV), GOOSE and Client/Server (MMS).
