"The Application of IEEE 1588 in Power Grid".

There are more than thousand smart substations have been built in China, most of them use IEEE 1588 technology to synchronize the Intelligent Electric Devices (IED) in substation, such as protection relay, phase measurement unit (PMU), merging unit (MU) and LAN switches. Some experience and lessons learned will be discussed.

"A Time-Sensitive Networking Primer: Putting it All Together".

Time-sensitive networking is actually a really old idea... it has always been a requirement in some sense. Ever since packet switching became the norm, however, the time-sensitive capabilities of a network have scaled poorly with network speed. They have, in fact, typically become worse. Fortunately, we are now in the middle of a transition back towards time-awareness in networks with major standardization efforts in both the IEEE and IETF. This presentation will outline how and where this is being done, and summarizing the technology, giving pointers to more detailed information and examples of deployed systems.

Dr. Michael Johas Teener,Senior Technical Director of Broadcom

Michael Johas Teener is a Senior Technical Director at Broadcom working on time-sensitive and high performance/low cost network technologies. Prior to that he was the technical lead of Apple's FireWire effort, helped design a couple of early distributed digital PBXs , and was the project lead / system architect for the data processor hardware and software of very leading-edge radar and sonar systems. He is the chair of the IEEE 802.1 Time-Sensitive Networking Task Group and chaired/kickstarted a number of earlier IEEE standards for networks and system interconnection. He has a B.S. in Engineering from the California Institute of Technology and an M.S. in Engineering Systems from UCLA, and is listed as the inventor on 62 U.S. Patents. The California license plate on his 2004 Suzuki SV650 is "8O21AVB" and on his 2001 Toyota Avalon it's "FIREWIR" .

"Uruguay case: Network and Synchronization provisioning for Smart Substation".

A description of principal aspects of own and real experience deploying High Voltage Substation Network and Synchronization to support increasing requirements:
- Power Distributed Generation
- Digitalization and smart substation
- Modern communication platform support
Around these and other aspects of HV Substation evolution, the author try to explain mainly concerns from the Power Utility point of views and way to plan and solve synchronization schemes.
Trying to clarify its standard scheme and connecting different layers of related technologies.
