DESCRIPTION:The power industry is under pressure to rapidly expand infrastr
 ucture to meet growing demands from both consumers and producers. But stic
 king to traditional design and construction methods may no longer be enoug
 h. One of the biggest bottlenecks? Hardware dependencies—like waiting on
  control wiring or specific components—that delay commissioning and infl
 ate project timelines.\n\nThis presentation explores how embracing IEC 618
 50\, a globally recognized standard for power system communication and con
 figuration\, can unlock new efficiencies. By shifting more functionality i
 nto software and adopting a standardized\, vendor-neutral approach\, engin
 eers can accelerate deployment\, improve system quality\, and simplify int
 egration.\n\nWe will demystify the IEC 61850 data model and show how it bu
 ilds intuitive\, scalable protection and control systems. You will learn h
 ow it reduces vendor lock-in\, streamlines troubleshooting\, and supports 
 a more agile design process. Real-world case studies will highlight succes
 sful implementations\, and we will share a practical roadmap to help you b
 egin your journey toward a fully digitized power system.\n\nSpeaker(s): Da
