Electric Power System in the 21st Century

We are facing a profound transformation of our power industry, largely driven by advances in technology; changing customer needs and increased expectations; changes in the
national policies; regulation of electricity services; etc.. Terms like Renewables, Distributed Energy Resources (DER), IEC 61850, MicroGrids, etc. are no longer buzz words but already
happening around us everyday at a very fast pace.

These revolutionary changes create new possibilities, but also challenges for the power utilities and their implementation partners around the world. On one side, the new
technologies allow us to modernize and upgrade existing and aged substations and build new substations with focus on performance and cost optimization. On the other side,
however, a lack of understanding of the new technologies also bears risks. It is important for everyone involved in this process to know and understand these new technologies and
its associated changes.
