Development of IEC61850 Based Substation Engineering Tools with IEC61850 Schema Library

Introducing IEC61850 in Distribution Substations Substation Automation Systems

Towards a composition model problem based on IEC61850

1 Corresponding author ABSTRACT In order to define an interesting model problem for research work around the assembly of software components, this paper introduces the substation automation domain. Special emphasis is put on those aspects of the application area which make its employment as model problem provider attractive. Firstly, the composition is required to meet several quality requireme...

The Communication Standard Iec61850 Supports Flexible and Optimised Substation Automation Architectures

Today a lot of different physical architectures for Substation Automation systems are in use, depending on the functionality as well as on the used protocol and needed reliability. Due to the manufacturer chosen communication protocol for certain functionality classes or reliability classes compromises have to be made or higher costs result. The new Substation Automation Communication standard ...

A Realization Method of Protocol Conversion Between Modbus and IEC61850

In order to adapt to the construction needs of the smart grid, smart substation need to solve the problem of protocol conversion between the conventional non-standardized condition monitoring equipment and the standardized monitoring system. This paper proposed a realization method of conversion method between Modbus and IEC61850. Object-oriented technology is used for information model on Modb...

Practical Applications of IEC61850 Protocol in Industrial Facilities

Various communication protocols are used within a typical industrial facility including Modbus RTU, DeviceNet and Profibus. These protocols used over the years have been in a Master-Slave configuration. Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) are slaves to single or multiple masters with one-way communication with the IED acting as a data/controlled node to the master device. Control is implement...
