61850 where are we today

Today 61850 projects are being implemented more innew installations, or when major rework is performedin a substation.

The goal is to integrate new equipment in legacysubstations without having to plan a major rework ofthe substation.

The usage of the process bus has not evolved verymuch in the last two years, utilities are performingextensive lab tests in regards to using thistechnology.

GOOSE messaging is still in its beginning in regardsto being used for inter-relay interlocking and tripping.

What is being delivered today

Today we are seeing more vendor centricimplementations, that is using the vendor of 61850tools with its own equipment with limited usage ofother vendors relays because of interoperabilitybetween the vendors high level tools.

Currents uses reside in the use of 61850 baycontrollers integrating the information and control atthe bay level with a number a relays providing theprotection functions.

5

The standardization process

Over the years we have all developed detailedstandards that have been in use for more than 30years.

Now we have to adapt these standards to changingtimes: How do we go forward without losing what we

have developed and put into service?

6

The standardization process (cont’d)

We have to have new tools that will allow-us tobring all our standards and engineering workprocedures to become a seamless part of the61850 work environment when working witholder installations.

These new tools must provide the link betweenour legacy systems and our future systems in amanner that will provide financial sense to goforward with the new radical change that 61850is bringing to our industry.

Integrating the new with the old

For the integration we require these new tools to easily create a means to correlate information from older system designs into an integrated 61850 framework.

This integration will require planning at the standardisation process to ensure that the new tools at a higher level of the substation properly integrate numerous types of legacy systems within a 61850 integrated platform while still properly allowing planning for process bus and handling of GOOSE messages.

New tools required for working in this environment

The evolution of these tools will start at the overall planned 61850 main console, some of the characteristics should be:

Capability to integrate the creation of the HMI pages, alarming and event screens required by users.

Capability to easily import previous legacy device configurations and make them a seamless part of the whole engineering definition process.

Should have the possibility to be completely vendor independent, i.e. to work with any vendors equipment current and of the legacy type.

Should provide a means to easily create either fully redundant systems or capable of providing an X & Y parallel protection scheme system without any other major work required.

Example of a large 61850 application

Conclusions

We have come a long way, 61850 is currently being used more and more especially when new substations are being implemented.

We still need to have a better integration when having to integrate our engineering work in older substations having a large number of legacy IEDs.

The new tools must ensure us of complete vendor interoperability at all levels (do the work only once) no matter what type of equipment is selected.
