IEC61850 Benefits - 1
High-level services enable self-describing devices & automatic object discovery saving $$$$$ in configuration, setup and maintenance. Standardized naming conventions with power system context eliminates device dependencies and tag mapping saving $$$$ in configuration, setup, and maintenance. Standardized configuration file formats enables exchange of device configuration saving $$$$ in design, specification, configuration, setup, and maintenance.
57 July 8, 2005

IEC61850 Benefits - 2
Higher performance multi-cast messaging for inter-relay communications enables functions not possible with hard wires and save $$$$ in wiring and maintenance. Multi-cast messaging enables sharing of transducer (CT/PT) signals saving $$$$ by reducing transducers and calibration costs.
