    abstract     = "This paper explores the possibilities in and execution of an upgrade to an electrical measurement instrument, a Smart Grid Unit (SGU), to communicate via a modern standard protocol in the industry. The standards in question are the existing protocol, {IEC} 60870-5-104 and the future, {IEC} 61850, which covers the design of substations in the electricity supply. {IEC} 61850 is designed with the notion to automate the surveillance of and reporting from the increasing number of new devices i the electric network. The new devices shall, therefore, be designed to work together and govern themselves intelligently. The project will thoroughly examine the existing possibilities in the new standard protocol and a prototype will be constructed to test the standards functionality. In addition, a study of the hardware changes that should be made to the {SGU'}en to make it compatible with the standard will be conducted. In addition to the {IEC} 61850 standard, the project will examine safety hazards, such a system may be exposed to, and what steps you can take to protect it.
The report was written under the assumption that the reader has a background in {IT} and electrical industry, and possess a deeper understanding of the teknologies in this field."
