| It
is trade show season and I often ask people visiting our booth –
what is Smart Grid? The response tends to be fairly broad depending
on their area of responsibility. When we narrow the topic down to
the modernization of the substations, the following tends to be the
3 highest priority items:
North American Utilities
1. Migration from legacy
serial protocol to DNP3 over IP
2. Meeting NERC CIP (current
and future) requirement
3. Migration from RTU to
Substation Server
International Utilities
1. Multi-vendor IEC
61850 interoperability
2. Asset optimization –
on-line condition monitoring
3.
Migration from RTU to Substation Server

DAPgateway™
Launched
at DistribuTECH 2010
ASAT
Solutions Inc. successfully launched its DAPgateway™
for IEC-61850 at DistribuTECH 2010 in Tampa, Florida on March
23-25. Integrated with IEC-61850 IEDs from major manufacturers
such as ABB, Areva, GE and SEL, the DAPgateway™
demonstrated its capability in facilitating a true multi-vendor
IEC-61850 based substation system. Combining with the DAPserver™,
the DAPgateway™ enables power system operators
to mix and integrate legacy and IEC-61850 IEDs to a single system.
“With
DAPgateway™ added to the DAPserver™
product family, we can help customers to upgrade or expand their
legacy substation systems to IEC-61850
based Smart Substation with a migration approach,” said
Manford Kwan, President and CEO.
The
DAPgateway™ is also available in DAPmini™
which will enable D20 RTU users to integrate IEC-61850 IEDs with
D20 RTUs. ASAT will also be showcasing the DAPgateway™
in the upcoming events. For more information or a demonstration,
please contact
us.
