Power Quality Enhancements for IEC 61850 Winston CHUA Ywee Ming South-East Asia Business Development Manager Energy Management Solution September 19, 2011
IEC 61850 – Motivation Substation automation: • Applications must deal with numerous protocols, data formats and data addressing • Limited interoperability • High integration costs • High maintenance costs Something needed to change: IEC 61850 standard creation
IEC 61850 – Key differentiators / Success factors • Integrated approach to system design and communications • Technical innovations: • File based setup: archiving, maintenance and repeatability • Unified modeling: of functions and common dictionary of terms • Self description devices • Independence of underlying protocols – future proof • Market support from vendors
IEC 61850 - Today’s SmartGrid Enabler IEC 61850 is moving from primary substations into other areas of the power system including, wind power, hydro and distributed energy resources. Transmission Distribution Consumers IEC 61850 Core Functions IEC 61850 Evolutions
IEC 61850 – Key to the Smartgrid Broad Application Support Vendor Independence Reduced Cost of Ownership
Global Emergence of IEC 61850 Strong industry support for the prescription and participation in the formation of the IEC 61850 standard. Adoption unclear Slow adoption Fast adoption
Today’s Modern Substation Many competing protocols each doing something slightly different and some level of proprietary communication to low level process equipment.
The Substation Of Tomorrow A unified approach with IEC 61850 addressing many needs in one suite of protocols, including improved scalable function modeling, protocols and support for modern engineering workflows.
Existing IEC 61850 PQ Features Summary table of IEC 61850 Edition 2 power quality relevant functions.
Proposed Power Quality Enhancements • Adoption of IEC 61000-4-30 and EN50160 as PQ enhancements for IEC 61850 standard: • Vendor neutrality • Application relevance • Global market presence • Both standards are well established globally and go hand in hand to provide contractual-based PQ measurement support (4-30) and compliance reporting (EN50160)
Proposed Power Quality Enhancements Summary table of IEC 61850 proposed power quality enhancements.
Conclusions • IEC 61850 is a powerful standard with global support in the industry and many technical qualities to support engineering workflows in the design, maintenance and operation of modern electrical infrastructure. • Using global power quality standards IEC 61850 can be enhanced to provide key support for advanced power quality applications by: • Improving logical node support, • Improving time synchronization, and • Utilizing file based reporting options.
