Upcoming Webinar : Sunspec Modbus – A hands-on overview Join this insightful webinar about the Sunspec Modbus, an open communication standard that specifies common parameters and settings for monitoring and controlling Distributed Energy Resource (DER) systems. ASE2000 version 2.34 (December Release) now supports SunSpec Modbus Master capabilities in Communication Test Set with device point list discovery, data validation against schema and Write operations. Main Takeaways: - Telemetry aspects of SunSpec Modbus covering topics like how to get data model from a remote device, and how to perform periodic read operations from a meter or inverter. - Commands and control aspect of SunSpec Modbus. Compared to controls in the other protocols, SunSpec Modbus controls are more like schedules written from the DERMS system into the inverter. Register Now: https://lnkd.in/gQJvQ86e

UCAIug has received requests to perform conformance testing on Virtual IEDs (e.g. those providing protection functions in a virtual environment like VMWare or Docker). The UCAIug Test Procedure Working Group (TPWG) has analyzed the changes required to respond to these requests. I am pleased to announce that the TPWG has determined that the UCAIug Test Procedures can be used without modification but the Conformance Certificates will need to provide additional documentation. Part of the effort towards determining the appropriate terminology involved a collaboration with the IEC TC57 WG10 task force on virtualization, which deals with terminology changes within the IEC 61850 standards that clarify virtualized or physical devices. UCAIug will be adopting the task force recommendation of "Virtualization Platform" moving forward. This terminology can provide coverage for solution stacks based on: Hypervisor 1, Hypervisor 2, and Container technologies. Furthermore, the TPWG has agreed to what additional information is required and these will be hopefully documented and approved within the next month. Let the testing of IEC 61850 Virtualization Platforms and IEDs begin!
