Relay protection, SCADA, Metering, and Cybersecurity for electrical infrastructure.
XML Schema validation checks structure — it cannot verify that a GOOSE subscription references a valid dataset or that a logical node contains required data objects. Object Constraint Language (OCL) fills that gap. IEC TS 61850-6-3, published in 2025, defines how OCL rules should be written and applied to IEC 61850 XML files, laying the groundwork for consistent, formal SCL validation across tools.
On March 16, 2026, Cuba experienced its eighth major blackout in 25 months — and its second total grid collapse of March alone. The Ministry reported that no faults were detected in operating units at the time of collapse, pointing to a structural cascading failure driven by chronic generation deficit.
The System Operator of the Unified Energy System (SO UES) has published comprehensive data on the operation of relay protection and automation devices (RPA) within the Russian Electric Power System (EPS) for the calendar year 2023. This report aims to provide a detailed analysis of the operational integrity and challenges faced by these critical components in ensuring the stability and reliability of the power grid.
