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

DAPgatewayLaunched 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.
