IEC61850 is the only standard supporting systems based on multi-vendor intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) networked together to provide protection, monitoring, automation, metering and control functions. Interoperability of equipment and systems is ensured by providing compatibility between interfaces, protocols and data models. The capability to share data and control commands results in new distribution protection, control and automation functions.
IEC61850 was developed for use within substations, but is now being seen as a key standard for use out of and between substations, and also for use in other domains. The use of IEC61850 for wide-area communication is discussed in Edition 2 of IEC61850 in the context of communication between substations.
IEC61850 standard can also be used to implement Smart Grid norms through substation automation. For Smart Grid deployment, seamless data communication and information exchange is essential, and will only be possible through industry-wide standardisation. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) (USA) Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards indicates that one of the key standards for Smart Grid deployment is IEC61850.
The seminar "IEC 61850 - Edition 2 and its Impact" emphasises the latest developments of Edition 2 for engineering processes, synchrophasor applications, communication networks, time synchronisation, testing scenarios and the future of IEC61850 in Smart Grid development. Day 3 of the seminar is dedicated to practical demonstrations presented by specialists in the field of substation automation.
PROGRAMME Day 1: 08h15 to 16h30, 27 September: Five lecture sessions covering: - IEC 61850 based Substation-to-Substation communications
