The next generation electric power system, known as Smart Grid, is expected to alleviate the energy shortage problem by exploiting renewable energy resources. The Smart Grid communication network, with its diverse structure, constitutes an indispensable component in the new power system. In terms of power industry standards, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61850 framework is...

Digital substations, also referred to as modern power grid utilize the IEC 61850 station and process bus in conjunction with IP-based communication. This includes communication switch yard equipment within substation well dispatch center. is a global standard developed standardize communications, covering multiple needs related substations or digital substations. Unlike legacy standards, 60870-...

International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 62351-6 standard specifies the security mechanisms to protect real-time communications based on IEC 61850. Generic Object Oriented Substation Events (GOOSE) and Sampled Value (SV) messages must be generated, transmitted processed in less than 3 ms, which challenges introduction of 62351-6. After evaluating threats 61850 state art GOOSE SV security...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Within this chapter, the authors provide two use cases on semantic interoperability in the electric utility industry based on the IEC TR 62357 seamless integration architecture. The first use case on semantic integration based on ontologies deals with the integration of the two heterogeneous standards families IEC 61970 and IEC 61850. Based on a quantitative analysis, we outli...

This book offers a compact guide to IEC61850 systems, including wide-area implementation, as it has been applied real substations worldwide.

IEC 61850, the standard for communication in power utility, has solved interoperability problems between different vendors substation networks (SCNs). However, most studies on SCN that use 61850 were conducted using computer-based simulations or commercial equipment with fixed functions. In this study, an experiment was real such as a network switch, Raspberry Pi, and mini PC. A cyclic data mod...
