The Third Annual IEC 61850 Europe 2016 conference, exhibition and networking forum draws together 150+ IEC 61850 experts and decision makers from across the European utility sector. The case-study driven programme reveals key lessons learnt from the large-scale deployment of multi-vendor multi-edition IEC 61850 systems, with equal emphasis on the engineering, operations & maintenance, and R&D processes. A pre-conference workshop on the Fundamentals of IEC 61850 will be led by Christoph Brunner, Convenor of IEC TC57 WG10 to bring all attendees up to speed on the essential building blocks and the latest developments with the standard. A series of Working Group discussions take place at the end of conference day one and give the end-user community the opportunity to voice their concerns and influence the future direction of the standard’s development. A solution zone running alongside the main conference provides a display of the latest IEC 61850 enabled systems, components, tools and services, and a Live Demo Lab provides hands-on experience with the most innovative tools and technologies to support the cost-effective deployment of IEC 61850 systems. Last but not least, an evening reception taking place the evening of conference day one allows attendees time to relax, unwind and network in a relaxed and enjoyable setting.
