What is PD IEC TR 61850‑90‑13 about?
PD IEC TR 61850‑90‑13 discusses communication networks and systems. PD IEC TR 61850‑90‑13 gives details about power utility automation for deterministic networking technologies. PD IEC TR 61850‑90‑13 is a technical report, that provides information, use cases, and guidance on whether and how to use deterministic networking technologies. Furthermore, PD IEC TR 61850‑90‑13 comprises technology descriptions, provides guidance on how to achieve compatibility and interoperability with existing technologies, and lays out migration paths. It will separate the problem statement from the possible solutions.
In PD IEC TR 61850‑90‑13 the term WAN is used for the inter-substation communication networks. PD IEC TR 61850‑90‑13 identifies, describes, and discusses the known technologies to address this determinism issue.

PD IEC TR 61850‑90‑13 on communication networks is useful for:
- Telecommunication companies
- IT companies
- Data communication sectors
- Research and development teams
Why should you use PD IEC TR 61850‑90‑13?
A communication network is a collection of methods that users employ to exchange information. PD IEC TR 61850‑90‑13 introduces deterministic networking technologies that enable applications that require bounded communication delays regardless of network load or reconfiguration. They allow traffic of different time criticality to share the same physical medium.
Deterministic network technologies are based on the pre-allocation of resources. Some examples are scheduling, traffic shaping and the preemption of low priority messages to guarantee the timely delivery of high-priority traffic.
Power automation and control is an industry domain where deterministic networking based on PD IEC TR 61850‑90‑13 is needed to support existing use cases and applications (requiring real-time communication) and to enable new developments.
Communication networking is currently being provided by SDH networks or dedicated (for protection communications) ethernet networks; however significant drives (economic and political) are now emerging to use "converged" ethernet networks.
