About This Item
IEEE P1615/D11, Nov 2016 is a draft recommended practice for network communication in electric power substations, with a focus on the communication needs of power, energy, and related industrial systems. It addresses how substation devices and systems may exchange information in a controlled and reliable way, supporting engineering decisions around interoperability and operational consistency. As a draft technical document, IEEE P1615/D11, Nov 2016 is relevant when evaluating communication approaches for substation environments.
About IEEE P1615/D11, Nov 2016
This document sits within the technical context of substation networking, where communication between control, protection, and monitoring equipment must be organized and dependable. IEEE P1615/D11, Nov 2016 is intended to guide recommended practice for how network communication is handled in electric power substations, helping align device interaction and system integration. For teams working on design review, specification writing, or equipment coordination, it offers a focused reference for communication-related requirements and expectations.
Where is IEEE P1615/D11, Nov 2016 used?
IEEE P1615/D11, Nov 2016 is most applicable in electric power substation environments where networked equipment must share data for control, protection, monitoring, and operational support. It may be used by engineers planning communication between substation devices, during procurement of compatible equipment, or when reviewing system architecture for utility and industrial power applications. The standard is particularly relevant where reliable data exchange and consistent network behavior matter to day-to-day substation operations.
Importance in practice
In practice, this draft recommended practice helps reduce uncertainty in how substation communications are structured and evaluated. Using IEEE P1615/D11, Nov 2016 can support more consistent design choices, clearer procurement expectations, and better alignment during testing or integration work. For power-system projects, that matters because communication issues can affect coordination, visibility, and overall operational confidence. A defined technical reference also helps limit risk when multiple devices or vendors must work together in the same substation network.
