IEC 61850 – Motivation
Substation automation:
Need of a reliable
electric service
Strong level of
automation =
multiple electronic
devices
Multiple protocols
and communication
links
 Applications must deal with numerous protocols, data formats and data addressing
• Limited interoperability
• High integration costs
• High maintenance costs
Schneider Electric - Power Monitoring – Daniel Cumming– January 2011
Something needed to change:
 IEC 61850 standard creation
2
IEC 61850 – Key differentiators / Success factors
Integrated approach to system design and communications
 Technical innovations:
• File based setup: archiving, maintenance and repeatability
• Unified modeling: of functions and common dictionary of terms
• Self description devices
•Independence of underlying protocols – future proof
 Market support from vendors

Global Emergence of IEC 61850
Strong industry support for the prescription and participation in the
formation of the IEC 61850 standard.
Adoption unclear
Slow adoption
Fast adoption

Today’s Modern Substation
Many competing protocols each doing something slightly different and
some level of proprietary communication to low level process equipment.

Proposed Power Quality Enhancements
● Adoption of IEC 61000-4-30 and EN50160 as PQ enhancements for
IEC 61850 standard:
● Vendor neutrality
● Application relevance
● Global market presence
● Both standards are well established globally and go hand in hand to
provide contractual-based PQ measurement support (4-30) and
compliance reporting (EN50160)

Conclusions
● IEC 61850 is a powerful standard with global support in the industry
and many technical qualities to support engineering workflows in the
design, maintenance and operation of modern electrical infrastructure.
● Using global power quality standards IEC 61850 can be enhanced to
provide key support for advanced power quality applications by:
● Improving logical node support,
● Improving time synchronization, and
● Utilizing file based reporting options.
