A new non-carbon material could lead the way to supercapacitors that challenge batteries for capacity but with far superior output. MIT researchers have developed an electrically-conductive sponge with a huge surface area that could pave the way for power storage that challenges today's batteries.
A nuclear power plant became the target of a disruptive cyber attack two to three years ago, and there is a serious threat of militant attacks on such plants, the head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog said on Monday.
Future Intelligent Transmission Network SubStation (FITNESS) is the pilot live multi-vendor digital substation demonstration in GB. The project was successfully awarded under RIIO NIC, Ofgem, in late 2015 and detailed design work began in 2016.
Microsoft announced Tuesday it was expanding its strategic partnership with ABB, just as the Swiss engineering firm was rebuffing investor calls to split up its business.
IEC TC 57 distributed a proposal from ENTSO-E to add some features to IEC 61850 (57/1771/DC).
IEC TC 57 has published the Draft Edition 6 of the CIM base (57/1779/FDIS): IEC 61970-301: Energy management system application program interface (EMS-API) - Part 301: Common information model (CIM) base
The IEC 62443 standard is the first that provides a basis for IT security certification for industrial automation and control systems.
IEC TC 57 has published (57/1767/NP) a proposal for extending the System Configuration Language (SCL) to provide high-level direction in terms of how best to bind the HMI graphical objects with the IEC 61850 data objects/attributes using the configuration description language defined in IEC 61850-6. The concept willl be based upon the existing System Configuration Language (SCL) defined in IEC 61850-6, in addition to possibly incorporating other non-IEC namespaces such as the W3C's Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) namespace.
