IEC 61850, done openly
Interoperability is only real when it is standardized and independently certified. VIRTEON is built natively on IEC 61850 and designs security in from day one.
The standard that makes openness possible
IEC 61850 defines the data models and communication services of the modern digital substation. VIRTEON builds on it natively: Sampled Values (SV) carry digitized currents and voltages from merging units; GOOSE carries fast protection signalling; and SCL files describe the substation configuration. Logical nodes (for example PDIS for distance, PTRC for tripping) express protection functions in a vendor-neutral way.
Toward Level A certification
Full IEC 61850 certification of virtualized protection is long, costly and gating for the regulated market — so VIRTEON approaches it in stages, with the qualification bench built early and the corpus accumulated through each phase, working with recognized certification bodies. References built in parallel reduce dependency on any single milestone.
Security designed in, not bolted on
IEC 62351
The platform follows the IEC 62351 security series for power-system communications.
NIS2 screening
Marketplace applications are screened for NIS2 compliance — a dated regulatory obligation across the EU.
Authorized supervision
Supervision services run only under explicit operator authorization, in full compliance with access policies for operational systems.
Interoperability as a market position
Every application on the marketplace must meet defined requirements for interoperability, compatibility and security, so applications from different suppliers integrate reliably in the same system. Standardization plus independent certification is what lets an operator run multi-vendor protection with confidence — and it is the trust layer no single application vendor can build alone.
