Transmission operators face tough challenges today
Meeting the power system availability requirements imposed by regulators, enterprises, and power producers can be challenging. The right technology makes it easier.
Future-proof your transmission network with smart digital substations
When it comes to addressing the challenges transmission utilities are facing, digital substations are the clearest, cleanest answer. Over the last decade, modern digital substations based on IEC 61850 communication and microprocessor relays have enabled seamless transmission of data among substation equipment and from the field to the boardroom, greatly enhancing visibility and durability of critical power infrastructure.
How digital substations tame the complexities of modern network demands
This whitepaper outlines the key features of digital substations and how this technology can help improve grid operations, reduce costs and increase system reliability.

Why transition to a digital substation?
This introduction to the digital substation includes an overview of the many potential benefits. In the second half of the webinar, we discuss advanced features related to simulation and testing.
Digital Substation: Addressing your Cyber Security Fears
A major obstacle to industry adoption of digital substations has been the perception and fear that “going digital” exposes utility assets to cyber threats and NERC CIP standard non-conformity. This webinar will help allay your fear of the digital unknown. We’ll discuss cybersecurity requirements to secure substation automation protection and control systems and the interfaces into the utility enterprise.
FITNESS – Future Intelligent Transmission NEtwork SubStation
To mark the successful close of the FITNESS project, SP Energy Networks and key partners organized this webinar to share the key learning points and outcomes from the project and, more importantly, to share the plan going forward. Hear the voice of a transmission system operator on how they integrated a digital substation.
