Introduction to SEAPATH platform for digital substation and Advanced configuration
SEAPATH is an open source software hypervisor designed for IEC61850 Digital Substation Automation Systems. It has been designed and built as an industrial-grade solution dedicated to the critical context of digital stations, meeting the challenges of interoperability, standards compliance and cybersecurity constraints. SEAPATH is a collaborative project, bringing together a diverse community of experts spanning embedded Linux, IT, electrical engineering backgrounds, fostering IT/OT convergence. This two-days training program focuses on the benefits of LF Energy SEAPATH in virtualizing substations and how critical applications could be deployed in production. Participants will learn about the challenges and benefits of virtualization and the key technologies involved. The program also integrates a hands-on session to install and configure LF Energy SEAPATH in real hardware. The trainers are experts from Savoir-faire Linux. They will provide expertise in digital substation engineering and unrivaled knowledge of the SEAPATH project.
