IEC 61850 is the standard for digital communication within modern, automated substations. For critical applications such as fault detection, it prescribes tightly synchronised time, delivered by PTP with the Power Utility Profile.

The standard enables the 'digital substation', in which protection and metering run on a single accurate, shared time base.
