Due to the high penetration of distributed energy resources (DER) and emerging DER interconnection interoperability requirements, fast standardized information exchange is essential for stable, resilient, reliable operations in microgrids. This paper proposes fault detection, isolation, restoration (F-FDIR) microgrid application with IEC 61850 Generic Object Oriented Substation Event (GOOSE) co...

Modern power-network communications are based on the IEC 61850 series standards. In this paper, we investigate real-time performance and vulnerabilities attack scenarios at sensor level communication networks more precisely Sampled Measured Value protocol. The approach jointly evaluates protocol, network topology impact electrical protection functions. We test practical feasibility of attacks a...

The features of configuring software and hardware modern data acquisition systems as part a digital substation to comply with the international standard IEC 61850 are considered. Given recommendations for energy efficient configuration 110 kV, 6-35 kV 0.4 power consumption level which allow you increase reliability system by 1.5-2 times.

Due to the rising complexity of application development in smart grid domain, an integrated framework for such applications is presented this paper. The based on standards IEC 61499 and 61850. While 61850 allows uniform system description components, provides a model developing distributed applications. idea encapsulate functionality function blocks from developed consists three modules. Beside...

Substation automation, as well as other utility automation domains, requires adequate design tools in order to cope with increasingly demanding budget, resource and time-todeployment requirements in an engineering domain where information complexity and size are growing . In the light of recent standardization, namely IEC 61850 , two development trends are established: a shift from data point b...
