A range of prominent companies have established themselves as leaders in this market, including Siemens Energy AG, ABB Ltd., Bureau Veritas, SGS S.A., Phoenix Contact, TÜV SÜD, Intertek Group plc, DNV, Doble Engineering Company, OMICRON electronics GmbH, Kalkitech, SATEC Ltd., ZIV Automation, Tesco Automation, Megger Group Limited, Enertest, Valence Electrical Testing Services, NR Electric Co., Ltd., Triangle MicroWorks, and Typhoon HIL.

Strategic Collaborations Enhancing Market Capabilities
In a notable development, November 2025 saw OPAL-RT Technologies, a Canadian tech firm, partner with Hydro-Québec and engineering consultancy CIMA+ during the energiQ 2026 event. This collaboration aims to improve real-time simulation, system interoperability, and the implementation of IEC 61850 standards. Hydro-Québec and CIMA+ bring extensive expertise in energy system integration and digital substation standards, helping accelerate innovation in this domain.

Innovation Focus and Development of Compliance Testing Services
Leading players in the IEC 61850 testing services sector are prioritizing the creation of cutting-edge solutions such as IEC 61850 Edition 2.0 server compliance testing. These services provide standardized, third-party verification that intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) conform to IEC 61850 protocols, guaranteeing reliable operation and easier integration. This approach eliminates the uncertainties associated with vendor-specific or informal testing methods.

An Example of Advanced Testing Service Launch
For example, in October 2023, KEMA Labs, part of the CESI Group and based in the Netherlands, relaunched its accredited IEC 61850 Edition 2.0 Server Testing Services. These comprehensive assessments examine the safety, reliability, interoperability, and performance of IEDs, supporting the needs of modern digital substations and power plants. The service is backed by expert protocol knowledge, impartial certification from the UCA International Users Group, and innovative testing techniques tailored to evolving energy infrastructure demands. This helps manufacturers, utilities, and integrators reduce integration issues and future-proof their systems.
