Abstract

This article looks at the development of substation automation systems and associated issues and challenges. The new but already quite popular IEC61850-based substations automation systems are discussed. The issue of interoperability which has been remarkably solved by IEC61850 has also been discussed. Additionally, issues and challenges associated with implementing these substation automation systems have been discussed.
