What is IEC 61850 ?

• INFORMATION modeling : A dictionary
and a set of independent communication services 
p
1
Substation – Embracing HV /MV /Generation /Power Quality
– For network monitoring and control

IEC 61850 – station bus
• CONFIGURATION LANGUAGE : A XML‐based language to :
– Specify requirement ( Customers, Engineering) 
– Describe a real installation ( Customers )  3
IEC 61850 – process bus – Describe device capabilities (Manufacturers  System 
integrators)
– And make communication between engineering tools

● COMMUNICATION NETWORK:  TODAY’S implementation is based on Ethernet
medium
2 ● TCP‐IP/ MMS, for the client‐server substation bus
TCP‐IP/ MMS for the client‐server substation bus
● Directly on Ethernet for peer‐to‐peer
● Extension are already on‐going on Web services, IEC 870‐5, DNP3, …

Dataset or how to send an information?

Dataset = set of data attributes (DA), data objects (DO) used

for reporting and data exchange between IEDs.

A dataset can include DO and DA of any logical node included

in any logical device of the IED.

A dataset is used for GOOSE

& REPORT messages.
