About DEMVE

The project name DEMVE is an abbreviation of "Development of the Education Services of IEC 61850 in Multi Vendor Environment".

IEC 61850 is a communication standard for substations. The standard is expanding to a global communication protocol, which also includes application level specifications allowing the convertibility of devices for example.

The project's overall objective is to strengthen the Vaasa region expertise in energy technology at the international level by developing expertise in communications standards for electricity distribution. During the project period several of the different vendors' products are collected in a laboratory to examine the data transfer between the products and to create training modules on communication standards. The laboratory is being built in the research center Technobothnia.
