CHP184 – Digital Substation Architecture

Design – Applications & System Solutions

Course goal
The participants acquire in-depth application knowledge designing the architecture of digital substation
automation systems. All requirements being potentially in the specification and their impact on the sys-
tem architecture will be discussed. Included are the definitions and roles of station and process bus.

Main learning objectives Topics

The participants will be able to:
— Summarize all important features of the
standard IEC 61850
— List all requirements which may appear in
the specification of a substation automation
system Identify the impact of all these re-
quirements in designing the architecture of
a substation automation system
— Clarify the difference and the relation of
functional structure and physical architec-
ture
— Evaluate different solutions with respect to
performance, availability and failure scenar-
ios, repair rate and costs
— Derive the most recommended digital solu-
tion for a given set of requirements
Participant profile
Consultants and employees from the electricity
supply industry. Technical personnel of ABB
companies.
Prerequisites
Engineering degree, technical college qualifica-
tions or equivalent. Basic knowledge of protec-
— Architecture of functions in substations
(control, monitoring, protection and evalua-
tion)
Process supervision, measuring and archiv-
ing, system supervision, control and inter-
locking, automatics, protection and self-su-
pervision.
— Application of the communication standard
IEC 61850 for the functional architecture
Data model and domain specific services,
Ethernet based communication, characteris-
tics of process and station bus
— Most important requirements out of the
specification of a digital substation automa-
tion system for the architecture of the result-
ing solution
Single line, functional requirements, perfor-
mance, availability, safety and failure scenar-
ios, substation topology, switchgear inter-
face, station level interface(s), requested
redundancy of functions and accepted de-
gree of function integration
— Evaluation procedures for physical system
architectures
Performance, availability and fault scenarios,
repairing and relative costs
