Don't design today's protection architecture around one version of tomorrow.
Traditionally, new protection requirements mean adding more physical infrastructure. Virtualization creates another path, allowing protection and control capabilities to evolve through software as grid requirements change.
SIPROTEC V brings a new level of flexibility to protection and control by moving protection applications from dedicated devices to shared, substation-grade computing platforms. Virtualization allows more of the protection and control environment to evolve through software as needs change.
For utilities investing in infrastructure that may serve for decades, that flexibility matters. SIPROTEC V helps preserve more options for the requirements utilities know today and those they cannot yet predict.
Explore the technology, thinking and practical considerations behind virtualized protection and control.
See how virtualization changes the relationship between protection applications and dedicated hardware.
Why protection and control must evolve: Hear from Siemens experts about the forces reshaping protection and control and what they mean for the future of the grid.
This white paper details practical strategies when transitioning to virtual protection and control from conventional substations, process bus-based digital substations, and greenfield projects.
