The Medium Voltage (MV) Digital Switchgear is based on the combination of technologies such as current and voltage sensors and IEC 61850 communication protocol which will be incorporated into modern microprocessor-based relays (IEDs). When these technologies are combined in an optimal way to increase safety, reduce space, equipment weight, internal point to point wirings and energy usage of traditional CTs, flexibility towards changing load flows, the ability to more easily handle last minute load changes, quicker delivery times and the possibility of late customization. This presentation will cover the background and characteristics of Digital Switchgear and contrast it with the tradition switchgear. Two key component technologies and standards for current and voltage sensors and IEC 61850 based protection and control will be reviewed.

Biography: Mr. Cosar is a Senior Application Engineer at ABB and has been serving power and energy industry for 13 years as a power system field engineer, specification and application engineer to the consultant engineering community and end users in New England region. He has experience with medium voltage (MV), low voltage (LV) electrical distribution system design and applications. Ozgur holds an Electrical Engineering degree from Purdue University and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Boston University and he has been the Chair of the IEEE Boston Industry Application Society (IAS) since 2017.
