This study analyzes the prominent application-layer protocol candidate for this application, the IEC 61850 standard. A decision tree is drawn that outlines when IEC 61850 is a favorable choice. Afterwards IEC 61850 is looked at in detail. The benefits of its device modeling capabilities for interoperability are evaluated and its message size is analyzed.enElektrische EnergiesystemeSystemintegration und Netze – StromWärmeGasIKT für Komponenten im Smart GridIEC 61850controlprotocolenergy resourcesRemote control of distributed energy resources using IEC 61850 as application-layer protocol standardjournal article
