Substation Communications IP Migration Model (Room 201A)

Tracks: Converged Systems for Smarter Communities

As utilities see the number of substation communications IP migration projects and adoption of packet-based technologies increase, many lessons have been learned from early adopters. Utilities must consider and address the IT/OT convergence gap by understanding the complete IP migration landscape and developing a model that addresses these various issues. This presentation provides an overview of the landscape of the IP migration model, addressing issues such as reliability, network security, management and operational support.  This presentation also addresses the need to understand the major gaps that occur as a result of such migration and explores several ways utilities can overcome those challenges and take advantage of the many benefits that result in migrating to a packet-based infrastructure.  Finally, the presentation offers successful case studies of substation communications IP migration.
