The Impact of Smart Grid and IEC 61850 on Protection, Testing and ControlSeptember 4-5, 2012 | Hilton KL, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

The power industry is undergoing an evolution that advances at an increasingly fast pace.

The areas of protection and control are at the forefront of these advancements.

With a rapid development of the underlying technologies and the subsequent appearance of

new possibilities, new practices are evolved constantly and innovative solutions appear at the

same speed. This rapid movement has become a real challenge for the people involved.

OMICRON provides this neutral platform for experts, engineers and technicians from all over

the world to share and discuss their findings and experiences when facing the challenges of

today and the trends of the future. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to capture the pulse of

the industry during this two-day conference in an open and most inspiring environment.

The Impact of Smart Grid and IEC 61850 on Protection, Testing and Control

The complex topology of a modern power grid with distributed energy sources requires smart administration and protection – it is required to be a smart grid. Such increasing complexity of the grid increases the likelihood of system instability and fault appearance. To counteract such trends, innovative designs adapting sophisticated protection schemes and involving increasingly intelligent protection relays and devices (IEDs) are introduced to the market on a constant basis.

Especially challenging in this context is the expansion of existing substations with the latest protective technology, requiring the interoperability and automation of devices from different manufacturers and their compatibility with existing conventional protective installations.

Currently, IEC 61850 is widely accepted by IED manufacturers and introduced by utilities around the world to overcome these problems of expandability and interoperability and to allow for standardized data communication within the substation environment and beyond.

The involved engineers are required to keep up with all these new developments and to be prepared for what is yet to come.

The Asia-Pacific Protection and Testing Conference (AP.PTC) acts as neutral platform for the people involved to meet, discuss and share their experiences, learn from each other and listen to first hand contributions from manufacturers, utilities and experts alike that give up to date information on the latest developments and what the future has in store.

Dr. Alexander Apostolov, received MS degree in Electrical Engineering, MS in Applied Mathematics and Ph.D. from the Technical University in Sofia, Bulgaria. He worked for fourteen years in the Protection & Control Section of Energoproject Research and Design Institute, Sofia, Bulgaria. In the 1990s, he held leadership positions in New York State Electric & Gas, Rochester Instrument Systems, Tasnet and AREVA T&D Automation.

He is now Editor-in-Chief of PAC World, Fellow of IEEE and Member of the Power Systems Relaying Committee and Substations C0 Subcommittee, Chairman of the Relay Communications Subcommittee, Chairman of Working Group C9: Guide for Abnormal Frequency Load Shedding and Restoration, Member of CIGRE and Convener of CIGRE WG B5.13 “Acceptable Functional Integration in Transmission Line Protection”, US representative in IEC TC57 WG 10, 17, 18, 19 and IEC TC95 WG MT4 and Chairman of the Technical Publications Subcommittee of the UCA International Users Group. He holds three patents and has authored and presented 280 technical papers.
