Industrial Ethernet switches for power substations
In power substations, every infrastructure component must maintain stability and repeatability of operation regardless of environmental conditions. The industrial Ethernet switches designed by BitStream for power substations are built in accordance with IEC 61850 standards, ensuring resistance to interference and full interoperability with substation automation equipment.
These devices support PRP/HSR redundancy, providing communication without switching interruptions — a key requirement for protection systems, measurement systems, and telecontrol. Stable communication within the substation layer ensures data consistency, precise coordination of switchgear bays, and full control over supervisory and control systems.
IEC 61850 / IEEE 1588 time synchronization for the power sector
The power sector requires not only fast transmission but also perfect time accuracy. Event recording, SCO automation, and the operation of distance protection systems are not possible without synchronization at the microsecond level. This is why BitStream delivers time servers and devices supporting IEC 61850 / IEEE 1588 time synchronization for the power sector, enabling signal consistency across power substations and extensive renewable energy networks.
Reliable data and control signal transmission in energy infrastructure
The growing complexity of the power sector, RES integration, digitalization of substations, and increasing cybersecurity requirements mean that communication systems must operate in a mission-critical mode. BitStream provides OT/IT network architectures that ensure reliable transmission of data and control signals within energy infrastructure, protecting control processes against interference, overloads, and external intrusion attempts. As a result, installations maintain stability regardless of load dynamics, environmental conditions, or modernization performed during continuous operation.
