SA specification
■ Substation Automation (SA)
specification - principles
■ Reconsideration of SA concepts
based on new features of IEC 61850
■ Impact of IEC 61850 on SA
specification

Specification New substation versus retrofit substation
■ Retrofit of substation automation system
– Stand alone specification for the SA system
– Existing boundaries need to be considered (interfaces
to switchgear, physical constraints like cable ducts,
etc)
■ New substation
– Substation automation is part of the overall substation
specification
– More flexibility available
– This flexibility can either be restricted by the
specification or it can be kept as options for the
design

Specification Features of IEC 61850
■ Interoperability between IEDs

■ Standardized data access
■ Object-oriented data model
■ Free allocation of functions to IEDs
■ Mainstream communication stack (MMS /
TCP/IP / Ethernet)
■ Standardized engineering through Substation
Configuration description Language (SCL)

Specification Reconsideration of SA concepts
What functionality is really needed to reach an
optimized operation of the power system?
■ Change management within the utility is
required
– Reconsider your SA concept
– Use a functional, top down approach for the
specification (required functionality, interface
requirements, architecture)
– Rely on communication instead of wires
■ 1:1 migration of the existing concepts is possible
but may not exploit fully the benefits of
IEC 61850.

Specification Elements of a functional specification
Areas that need to be addressed
■ Single line diagram and functional requirements
■ Interfaces; e.g.
– Process interface
– Interface to SCADA system / control center
– Service and maintenance access
■ Constraints
– Operator room and bay houses, cable channels and ducts
– Power supply system
– Re-use of existing non IEC 61850 compliant components and
systems
■ Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Performance

Specification Aspects with impact from IEC 61850
■ Communication architecture
■ Degree of function integration
■ Object models
■ Naming convention
■ Communication services

Specification Communication architecture
■ Performance and availability requirements will

have an impact on the communication
architecture
■ Communication architecture may be specified in
the requirements
– May restrict optimization process
– May help to standardize for the utility
■ Specific requirements on communication
equipment shall be specified

SA
Specification Degree of function integration
■ IEC 61850 supports a free allocation of functions

to devices
■ Requirements concerning constraints of function
integration need to be specified
– Which functions are not allowed to be implemented in
the same device?
– Which functions shall be implemented in the same
device?

Specification Object models and naming conventions
■ Standardized data model is implicitly specified
by specifying the functional requirements Æ
replacement of signal lists
– If only signal list is supplied, reverse engineering
needs to be done by system integrator
– Optional data that is required needs to be specified
■ Specification of logical devices not required
– May be an option, to standardize on the data model
■ Specification of the naming convention to be
used (for primary equipment, LN instance
names, etc.)

Specification Communication services
■ Detailed requirements on communication

services may be specified
– May be important for future extensions
■ Data that need to be communicated towards
local HMI, the station controller and the gateway
is defined with datasets referred to in control
blocks
– All data sets and transmission conditions shall be
specified

Specification Engineering process and tools
■ Responsibilities and roles shall be defined

– Responsibility of the device vendor
– Responsibility of the system integrator
– Responsibility of the end user
■ Integration of components fulfilling the specified
behavior and performance is responsibility of the
system integrator
■ Requirements on tools shall be specified
– What tools shall be supplied
– What functionality is required for the tools?

Specification Summary for specification
■ A functional, top down approach is
recommended
■ The specification may provide non functional
requirements that may restrict optimization
process but may help to standardize the
solutions for the utility
ÆThis is a major challenge for the utility to define

the right level
ÆNon functional requirements need to be verified
against vendors offerings
