This presentation will introduce the IEC-61850 standard and its protoc ols such as GOOSE and Sampled Values. Attendees will gain insight into the structure and purpose of configuration files like SCDs and CIDs\, which d efine what information is exchanged between devices. The session will also explore how the ethernet-based protocol IEC-61850 GOOSE enables fast\, re liable peer-to-peer communication for protection and control systems. A fe atured case study will showcase a real-world implementation of IEC-61850 G OOSE in a project aimed at resolving complex protection challenges associa ted with double-circuit poles. This practical example will illustrate the advantages of integrating IEC-61850 GOOSE and the flexibility the protocol offers in modern protection schemes:\n\nTopics of Discussion:\n\n- GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event) Traffic engineering of OT netwo rks\n- SV (Sampled Values)\n- IEC-61850 System Architecture\n- Merging Uni ts\n- Protection Logic\n\nThe meeting will provide opportunities for quest ions following the presentation.\n\nAlso\, during lunch Meet SPOT — Bost on Dynamics’ Famous Robotic Dog\n\nYou’ve seen him in videos\, article s\, and news stories. Now\, meet SPOT in person and see his agility and ca pabilities as an autonomous mobile sensor platform.\n\nOn the factory floo r\, SPOT becomes your eyes and ears — automating inspections\, capturing consistent data\, and logging everything digitally. His deployment helps reduce human exposure to hazardous environments\, detect potential dangers \, and alert teams to abnormal conditions.\n\nAt this session\, you’ll l earn how SPOT has been applied in real-world industrial settings to solve practical challenges — and yes\, you’ll even have the chance to snap a photo with him!\n\nPAYMENT METHOD: Pay online via registration.
