Market Status and needs (I)
Protection and Control Systems with IEDs (intelligent electronic
devices) with enabled communication have been accepted on the
market and being used by utility and industrial customers for more
than a decade.
Because of lack of global standard Microprocessor based devices
with communication from different suppliers often cannot be
combined and integrated in the single system without extensive
engineering efforts (high cost in integration and start up).
The global utility and industrial market required a standard for
competitive performance
cost reduction

Market Status and needs (II)
Manufacturers and utilities are global companies and directly being
effected by lack of global standard,
Cost reduction and better performance is required by utility to reduce
the cost of infrastructure and cost of maintaining the system.
Long term stability in implemented solution and technology is required
by utilities (20 or more years).
Open standard, more competition, reduce the cost without necessary
effect the quality.
Ability to Mixing the devices from different vendors without increasing
the cost of solution.

Substation Automation Standard Requirement I
Interoperability
The ability of Substation Automation
devices from one or several manufacturers
to share and exchange the data and be
able to utilize these information for the their own functions.
Stability
The standard shall be stable to follow the
progress in communication technology
as well as evolving system requirements.
© Kinectrics Inc., 2008
Substation Automation Standard Requirement II
Free in Engineering Concept
Different engineering concept shall be supported
by standard, the standard should support both
centralized (RTU ) or decentralized (bay protection and control )
solutions.
Substation Automation evolution
Standard should regards what has been learnt
from pasr parctises and addresses the issue in hand.

IEC61850 Modeling Approach
Functional Decomposition
The decomposition of a function into the smallest entities – logical
nodes, for information exchange. Used to understand the logical
relationships between components of a distributed function and is
presented in terms of logical nodes that describe the functions,
sub-functions and functional interfaces
Data Flow
The exchange of information between distributed functional components
and the functional performance requirements
Information Modeling
Used to define the abstract syntax and semantics of the information
exchanged and is presented in terms of data object classes and types,
attributes, abstract object methods (services) and their relationships
© Kinectrics Inc., 2008
IEC61850 Modeling Approach
Object oriented communications organize the data by
function to simplify distributed applications
Standardized object models allow for application
interoperability
Self-description
Focus is shifting from data acquisition to Data
Management
