BACKGROUND
The International standard for substation automation systems IEC61850 defines the communication between devices in substations and determines the related systems requirements. It supports both substation automation functions and their engineering. The technical approach applied to the development of IEC61850 makes it flexible and future proof.
There are many substation automation protocols worldwide, but IEC61850 is the only one that supports systems based on multi-vendor intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) networked together to provide protection, monitoring, automation, metering, and control functions. The interoperability of equipment and systems is ensured by providing compatibility between interfaces, protocols and data models. Capability to share data and control commands between multiple IEDs results in new distribution protection, control, and automation functions.
The IEC61850 standard has essentially been 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. Another possible use of the IEC61850 standard is for implementing smart grid norms through substation automation. In seeking to achieve smart grid deployment, seamless data communication and information exchange is essential. Such a challenging task is only possible through industry-wide standardization. As outlined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) (USA) Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability standards, one of the key standards for smart grid deployment is the IEC61850.
Three seminars have been presented so far: "IEC 61850 Fundamentals, Applications and Benefits" in 2009, "IEC61850 Developments and Applications" in 2010, and "IEC61850-Edition 2 and Its Impact" in 2011 emphasised the latest developments of the standard for engineering processes, synchrophasor applications, communication networks, time synchronization, testing scenarios, and the future of IEC61850 in smart grid development. Technicians and engineers who participated at these seminars are now well prepared with the new developments. At the same time the newcomers to the IEC61850 standard needed introduction to the basic knowledge and understanding of the principles and applications of the standard. As a response to this need the CSAEMS will in future organise two seminars per year: an introductory seminar for new comers in May/June and an advanced seminar for experienced users in September.
The 2012 seminar "Introduction to IEC61850: Fundamentals, applications and benefits" will assist technicians and engineers by providing answers to many of their questions, and will guide them on how to apply the engineering processes.
