What is IEC 61850 ?

IEC 61850 is NOT just a communication


protocol
It is a suite of multiple protocols
It is an application focused communication
architecture
It is one of the key building blocks for the
Smart Grid

IEC 61850 Key Features

Uses the strengths of the OSI 7 layer


communication model
Standardized data models for electrical
applications
Defines Data Types and Communication

RUGGEDCOM
IEC 61850 Key Features
INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH NETWORKS"

The data is organized in devices in a


standardized way
The devices are self-descriptive,
- either online (MMS protocol) or offline (SCL
language)
IEDs not only provide the data itself but also
the information about data types used, its
structure and complete naming.

Data Models and Services

IEC 61850 Part 7-3 defines a base set of data types for
describing objects
IEC 61850 Part 7-4 defines a set of Objects (Logical
Nodes)
IEC 61850 Part 7-2 defines a set of Services to
manipulate and access those objects. Services
are well defined procedures on how information is
exchanged.

Application Modelling According to IEC 61850

Copyright RuggedCom Inc 22


RUGGEDCOM
INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH NETWORKS"

IEC 61850 is Application Oriented


DNP3.0, IEC-60870-5, Modbus, etc. are industrial generic
use protocols and are not application oriented

In generic industrial protocols we talk about points or


addresses without knowledge what data is behind it

IEC 61850 is an application oriented architecture, it


introduces meaningful semantics
IEC 61850 defines application specific data like PTOC
(Protection Time Overcurrent) logical node or
XCBR (Circuit Breaker) logical node, etc.
Example of semantic: Position of the breaker XCBR1$ST$Pos$stVal

Communication Schemes in IEC 61850


Client-Server communication
- Information exchange like fault record, event record,
measurement values, etc.
- Data size much greater, can run into kB or MB
- Uses the full services of the OSI model (MMS over TCP),
reliable data transfer
- Not time critical data
GOOSE messages
- Time critical data eg. trip, block, interlock, etc.
- Initiation of data transfer only on occurrence of the event.
- Compensated by multicasting (repeated transmission)
Sampled Values
- Time critical data - sampled values of current /
voltage signals from nonconventional instrument
transformers or lEDs

Copyright RuggedCom Inc 37


RUGGEDCOM
- Continuous stream

of data, rate determined by the
sampling frequency of the data
- Data size depends on the resolution of the sample
- Not reliable data transfer (like Goose messages)

Key Benefits of IEC 61850

Increases flexibility
by connecting protection, control, measurement and
monitoring devices to common Ethernet network within
substation
Reduces copper wiring
through GOOSE messaging that enables fast
and reliable applications like interlocking,
distributed bay tripping, breaker failure, etc.
Reduces total installation cost
by enabling Process Bus with electronic CT/VTs and
intelligent switchgear and by replacing conventional copper
wiring by Ethernet digital communications
Eases system engineering and integration process

Key Benefits of IEC 61850
INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH NETWORKS"

Improves application performance and security


through fast Ethernet communications and redundancy
(IEC 61850 Edition II)
Provides easy way of implementing typical applications
due to standardized naming conventions
Saves time and money in setup & commissioning
because of object-oriented structure and high-level
services that enable selfdescription of devices and
automatic data discovery.
Minimizes costs of technological obsolescence
because of a global acceptance and adoption and
future-proof concept of abstract services as well
as independence of mapping to protocols
