Introduction / Motivation
Usage of IEC 61499 / 4DIAC for Smart Grids Applications?
High efforts are spent to modernize the electrical grids transformation into Smart Grids According to the IEC Smart Grids roadmap intelligent devices are necessary for realizing Smart Grids Standard-based implementation is a key requirement for future developments Usage of distributed automation concepts for controlling electrical power systems Open source strategy and open standards as driver to push new developments for power & energy systems Well supported open source tools available (4DIAC, PSAT, etc.)
