TECHNICAL PAPERS
Conprove’s Technical Papers gather publications and contributions presented at national and international events, focusing on practical applications and innovation in the power sector. On this page, you will find materials dedicated to IEC 61850, Protection, Automation, and Control (PAC), as well as related topics supporting engineering decisions for substations, automation, and power system projects.
Conprove maintains a continuous agenda of research, development, and validation, bridging theory and application in both lab and field environments. The goal is to provide organized technical knowledge, enabling engineers, integrators, utilities, industries, and consultancies to access references for specification, testing, integration, and operation—especially in scenarios with high requirements for reliability, interoperability, and traceability.
Key topics include:
- Protection, Automation, and Control
- IEC 61850
- Substation Equipment
- Computational Modeling and Simulation
- Electromagnetic Transients
- Alternative Energy Sources
- Power Converters
- Generation, Transmission, and Distribution
- Smart Grid

IEC 61850 (interoperability and digital substation)
IEC 61850 is a central reference for digital substation and automation projects, covering data modeling, system engineering, communication, and service standardization. Within our Technical Papers, you will find studies and experiences related to:
- System architecture and engineering in IEC 61850 environments
- Multi-vendor integration and interoperability
- Best practices for modeling, data consistency, and standardization
- Testing and validation strategies to reduce deployment and commissioning risks
- Technical guidelines to increase operational predictability and reduce project rework
The focus is to support projects demanding consistent integration, engineering governance, and adherence to performance and availability requirements—from design to operation.
Protection (criteria, performance, and operational reliability)
Protection is a critical area for safety and supply continuity, requiring well-defined criteria, consistent testing, and behavior validation under different power system conditions. In Technical Papers, protection materials typically connect to:
- Protection philosophy and criteria applied to different topologies and voltage levels
- Performance evaluation and selectivity
- Testing, commissioning, and diagnostic methodologies
- Event analysis, records, and evidence for continuous improvement
- Practices that contribute to reducing downtime and increasing system reliability
The content targets professionals who need to support decisions with technical traceability, both in deployment and routine operation/maintenance.
Relation to products and practical application
Where applicable, each item may indicate related products, facilitating the connection between technical content and its real-world engineering application. This link is important for those seeking to objectively understand how a specific study relates to project requirements, testing methods, system integration, and commissioning activities.
Guidance for ongoing projects
If you are leading specification, integration, commissioning, or architecture reviews, we recommend starting with the Technical Papers closest to your goal:
- For integration and digital substations, prioritize IEC 61850 publications.
- For criteria, validation, and system performance, prioritize Protection publications.
- For decision support and advanced studies, use modeling, simulation, and transient topics.
Conprove uses these publications as part of a commitment to technical excellence, engineering consistency, and continuous improvement—delivering knowledge applicable to the operational environment of the power sector.
