How does IEC 61850 work?

IEC 61850 is an international standard that defines communication protocols to provide communication between different equipment located in a substation, such as protection, control, and measurement equipment, as well as (IEDs) intelligent electronic devices.

What is dataset 61850?

A dataset is an ordered group of references to Data Objects and/or Data Attributes contained in an IEC 61850 data model. These data are organized for the application requirements and to optimize communications.

What is the IEC 61850 standard?

IEC 61850 is an international standard defining communication protocols for intelligent electronic devices at electrical substations. It is a part of the International Electrotechnical Commission’s (IEC) Technical Committee 57 reference architecture for electric power systems.

What is IED in IEC 61850?

The intelligent electronic device (IED) is a basic element of the smart grid, delivering the sensing, measurement, protection, and control functionality required by the system.

Where does the IEC 61850 protocol apply in a substation?

IEC 61850 defines a fast and reliable point to multi point message exchange procedurethat can be used to replace copper wiring using in the data exchange between the cabinets in a substation. These messages are called GOOSE – Generic Object Oriented Substation Event.

What is Report Control Block in IEC 61850?

For an IEC 61850 report, the report control block is used to configure and enable when and what to send in the report message. A client application will receive the contents of a report based on the configuration of this control block as well as the configuration of the client.

What is integrity period?

IntgPd – The integrity period specifies an interval in ms for the ​ periodic sending of intergrity reports.

What is GOOSE and SMV?

1, SMV network is applied to the analog signal transmission between merging unit and protection, BCU on bay level, while GOOSE network is mainly applied to the transmission of binary messages like the tripping, on-off status, and switching, etc. of the devices on process level.

What is GOOSE testing?

IEC 61850 GOOSE messaging is widely used for the real-time communication of status information within Digital Substations (e.g. pickup or trip). With GOOSE, the formerly hard-wired binary signals are distributed throughout the network efficiently.

What is 61850 test software?

61850 TesT Software. Simulate, monitor and test IEDs on your digital substation network with Doble’s 61850 TesT Software. Use with Doble’s F6150sv and Protection Suite software to apply sampled values (SV) and generic substation event (GSE) simulations to functionally test, receive status messages and get more data from substation devices.

How do I test my IEDs with IEC 61850 requirements?

Use this IEC 61850 test software to identify and map logical nodes or objects to virtual inputs on the F6150sv. Then use Doble’s Protection Suite testing software to verify compliance of your IEDs with IEC 61850 requirements. Select…

How can 61850 Test Suite Pro help with SCL errors?

Test Suite Pro provides an easy, intuitive way to discover the source of these errors. The SCL Verify tool can be configured to report only SCL file errors that are known to cause a problem in the target system. The Data Miner tool integrated within 61850 Test Suite Pro allows you to:

What is the use of test tool?

This tool allows the user to create a display and build a repeatable set of commands to run against the workspace. Tests are managed through the Test Explorer with provides a view of all Test Plans and Groups in the Workspace.
