INTRODUCTION

The International standard for substation automation systems IEC61850 defines the communication between devices in
the subs
tations and determines the related systems requirements. It supports both substation automation functions and
their engineering.
The technical approach applied to development of IEC61850 makes it flexible and future proof.


There are many substation automa
tion protocols worldwide but IEC61850 is the only one that supports systems based on
multi
-
vendor Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) networked together to provide protection, monitoring, automation,
metering, and control functions.
The interoperability
of equipment and systems is ensured by providing compatibility
between interfaces, protocols and data models.


Capability to share data and control command
s

between multiple IEDs results in new distribution protection, control, and
automation function
s
.



The
IEC 61850
standard
has substantially

been

developed for
use within
substations
,

but is
now being
seen as a key
standard for
use out of, and between substations, and also for use in other domains.
The use of IEC 61850 for wide
-
area
communication is alre
ady discussed in Edition 2 in the context of communication between substations
.


Very important application

of
the
IEC61850 standard is for
implementing Smart Grid norms through substation
automation.
In
seeking to
achiev
e

Smart Grid

deployment
,

seamless data communication and information exchange is a
must. Such a challenging task is
most likely
only possible through industry
-
wide standardization
.
As outlined by the
National Institute of Standard
s and Technology (NIST)

(USA)

Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability
standards, one of the key standards for Smart Grid deployment is the IEC
-
61850.


The Seminar

“IEC 61850

and its Role in a Smart Grid
” extends the

knowledge
-
base

acquired d
uring the 2009 seminar
“
IEC 61850 Fundamentals, Applications and Benefits”
, the

2010
seminar
“
IEC61850 Developments and Applications”
,
the 20
11

seminar “
IEC 61850
-
Edition 2 and its Impact”, and the
June 2012 seminar “Introduction to IEC 61850:
Fundamentals
, Applications and Benefits
”

by emphasising the
role of IEC61850 in the Smart grid giving definition of the
Smart grid
and discussing its important features as
Communications Interface, Common Data Formats, Protection and
Control Applications in Distributi
on and Transmission Systems, Integration of Distributed Energy Resources,
Engineering methods, Testing
,

and the
Process of S
tandartisation.
The third day of the seminar
is dedicated
to practical

demonstration
s presented by some specialists in the field of
Substation Automation.


A vendors
’

exhibition will be provided during the days of the seminar
