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.

The main features of IEC 61850 54
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. .
