This paper presents some models and concepts for developing smart power grid control systems based on holonic concepts and the open standards IEC 61850, IEC 61499. Along with the proposed holonic models for different levels of control, we present a simple fault protection application illustrating how the IEC 61499 artifacts can be used for modeling and implementation of IEC 61850 compliant appl...

-As IEC 61850 becomes more widely accepted in the electrical engineering community, it is important that the testing tools keep pace with this development. IEC 61850 presents new challenges to real time simulation and closed-loop testing of protective relays. Electrical interfaces used for binary signaling and voltage/current amplifiers must be replaced by an Ethernet connection and an IEC 6185...

-In a substation, a lot of distributed, safety related functions have to be performed. IEC 61850 is intended to replace all wires by serial communication. To achieve this goal IEC 61850 has to fulfill hard real-time criteria. Starting from the definition of these criteria the communication methods of IEC 61850 are investigated. The result shows the feasibility of these methods for interlocking ...

The network designing and data modeling developments which are the two significant research tasks in direction to tolerate power control of Microgrid concluded using IEC 61850 data models and facilities. The current casing areas of IEC 61580 include infrastructures in substation automation systems, among substations and to DERs. So, for LV microgrid power control, previously using the IEC 61850...

Dynamic and adaptable integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) into novel power system assets, such as microgrids, is one of the key prerequisites for accelerated Smart Grid deployment. By using standardized network interfaces and semantic descriptions for remotely controllable DERs, it is possible to develop intelligent microgrid applications capable of dealing with dynamic loads and...

Two trends are currently changing substation automation systems: IEC 61850 and the need for increased cyber security. IEC 61850 has gained global acceptance by both vendors as well as customers. Cyber security on the other hand has quickly become one of the most dominant topics for control systems in general and electrical utilities in particular. The combination of the two, securing IEC 61850 ...

Simulation is an important tool for study, analysis, design and evaluation of real world systems that we are unable to experiment with directly. Due to complexity of Smart Grids communication systems, it is necessary to use advanced simulation systems with the aim of accelerate the development and implementation of Smart Grids. In this paper, an advanced simulation platform (based on OMNET++) f...

function blocks along with IEC 61850 specifications in modeling and implementing control applications for substations automation. The IEC 61499 artifacts are used for structuring the control logic, while the IEC 61850 concepts for communication and information exchange between the automation devices. The proposed control architecture was implemented and validated in a simple fault protection sc...

This paper presents performance evaluation of a new architecture for phasor estimation within IEC 61850 substation Process-Bus. To benefit from the raw IEC 61850-9-2 Sampled Measured Values streamed with high sampling rate from various Merging Units at substation bay level, Unsented Kalman Filter is proposed to be utilized in the computation of Phasor at substation process level to enhance the ...
