INTRODUCTION
The International standard for substation automation systems IEC61850 defines the communication between devices in the substations and determines the related systems requirements. It supports both substation automation functions and their engineering. The technical approach applied to 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 IEC 61850 standard has substantially 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. The use of IEC 61850 for wide-area communication, monitoring and control is discussed in Edition 2 in the context of communication between substations.
Very important application 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 a must. Such a challenging task is most likely 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 IEC-61850.
The Seminar “IEC 61850 Edition 2 – A Standard for Power System Automation and Energy Management” extends the knowledge-base acquired during the 2009 seminar “IEC 61850 Fundamentals, Applications and Benefits”, the 2010 seminar “IEC61850 Developments and Applications”, the 2011 seminar “IEC 61850-Edition 2 and its Impact”, and the 2012 seminar “IEC 61850 and its Role in a Smart Grid” by emphasising the role of IEC61850 in automation and management of power systems discussing the business case for using IEC 61850 Edition 2, describing the current status of different parts of the standard and its ongoing developments and related reports, giving answer to the question how to integrate the Distributed Energy Resources in power system automation, distribution and transmission management systems, considering the impact of IEC 61850 Edition 2 on substation-to-substation communications, on substation-to-control centre communications, on Wide Area Monitoring, Protection and Control (WAMPAC), and on the engineering of electric power systems and their components. Requirements for asset management of electric power systems and for the organizational and other changes related to the penetration of IEC 61850 are discussed.
The third day of the seminar is dedicated to practical demonstrations presented by some specialists in the field of Substation Automation and Energy Management Systems.
