Executive summary 2
IEC 61850

IEC 61850 is a collection of international standards defining:

-how to describe the devices in an electrical substation and


-how to exchange the information about these devices
- at configuration time and
- at run-time.

It simplifies considerably engineering and testing, savings several Mio € per year.

It is the base for all developments in substation automation.

IEC 61850 was developed by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission, Geneva)
by a group of manufacturers (ABB, Alstom, Schneider, SEL, Siemens, Toshiba,..) and
electrical utilities (Electricité de France, Iberdrola, Hydro-Quebec,…)

IEC 61850 represents hundreds of person-years of work since 1997, one of the largest and
most successful standardization group ever (comparable to IEEE 802.3).

IEC 61850-6 specifies how to describe a substation’s Single Line Diagram, and how to
reproduce it on a screen exactly in the correct topology.
It allows to describe any substation, independent from the manufacturer in simple XML.

The protection function is adjusted with a set of parameters that are tuned
for a specific substation and bay, called a setting.

Protection function have usually different settings, that are used depending on the situation.

Introduction to
Logical device 24
IEC 61850

Each physical device (called an IED) can perform functions that was formerly performed
by different protection or control devices.

Those former devices are represented by Logical Devices within the physical device.

IEC61850-6 specifies the data network topology (with its coordinates),


the devices that participate in communication, how they are connected,
which are their addresses and which is the data traffic they generate.

This information allows to determine at engineering time the traffic load on the network.

Introduction to
Object Model 48
IEC 61850

The IEC 61850 object model is the centerpiece of the standard.


It relies on application know-how of the standards group.

The model is used for:

- system verification (“virtual maximum size substation”)

- engineering of a particular substation

- allocation of functions to devices in that substation

- configuration of the real devices (IEDs and SCADA) and real network
© 2012 ABB Switzerland Ltd Corporate Research ABBCH-RD

- testing and debugging

The object model is implemented:

-a) in the engineering tools (total substation)


-b) in the SCADA (relevant parts of substation)
-c) in the devices (only local functions, need-to-know)

Introduction to
Benefits of IEC 61850 55
IEC 61850

The benefit of an IEC61850 device is not in the price of the device: it


is in lower cost to use the device.

The benefit of an IEC61850 system is not in buying the system: it is


in lower costs to engineer and commission the substation system.

The cost of an installed device is 7 times the value of the device !


© 2012 ABB Switzerland Ltd Corporate Research ABBCH-RD

“The flexibility provided by the IEC61850/UCA-MMS


protocols has the potential for saving millions of dollars
in development costs for utilities and manufacturers,
since it eliminates the need for protocol converters and
lengthy, complex database mapping when integrating
devices from different manufacturers.
Gustavo Brunello, GE, in Electricity Today, Issue 4, 2003, page 10”
Introduction to
Conclusion 56
IEC 61850

IEC 61850 is the base for all future developments in substation automation

IEC 61850 is a successful standard in substations, because it put all competitors on an equal
footing through the Ethernet / Internet technology.

IEC 61850 defines an application object model that is independent from the communication and
ensures long-term investment.
© 2012 ABB Switzerland Ltd Corporate Research ABBCH-RD

IEC 61850 value resides in the savings in engineering and testing that it allows.

IEC 61850 paved the way for other standards, such as wind mills, hydro and the same principles
could be used in any standardized plant. .
