Benefits of IEC61850
• High-level services enable self-describing
devices & automatic object discovery saving $$
$$$ in configuration, setup and maintenance.
• Standardized naming conventions with power
system context eliminates device dependencies
and tag mapping saving $$$$ in config., setup,
and maint.
• Standardized configuration file formats enables
exchange of device configuration saving $$$$
in design, specification, config., setup, and
maint.

Benefits of IEC61850 - 2
• Higher performance multi-cast
messaging for inter-relay
communications enables functions not
possible with hard wires and save $$$
$ in wiring and maintenance.
• Multi-cast messaging enables sharing
of transducer (CT/PT) signals saving $
$$$ by reducing wiring and connection
costs
