Abstract :
Power substations have received significant improvements in automation systems through the implementation of IEC 61850 standard. Interoperability between multi-vendor devices and costs reduction by cabling suppression where brought as main advantages. Though, there is yet a gap in the usage of wireless communication systems, which are not covered by the current standard. A wireless solution could further reduce the cabling and installation costs and provide portability. In order to attend the requirements of reliability and security intrinsic to power substations systems, a solution is proposed by integrating industrial wireless communication technologies within the IEC 61850 standard.
