IEC 61850 Engineering
The engineering process and configuration of a substation is described in IEC 61850-Part 6:
Configuration description language for communication in electrical substations related to IEDs.
This section contains information about the standard that may be referenced when working with
BESTCOMSPlus
® and BEST61850™ software.
Engineering Process in IEC 61850
Figure 3 illustrates the reference model for information flow in the configuration process.
Figure 3. Reference Model for Information Flow in the Configuration Process
The IEC 61850 standard defines two tools and four file types for Engineering as illustrated in Figure 3.
The tools and file types are defined below.
System Configurator
The System Configurator performs the following functions:
•
Imports and exports configuration files
•
Imports configuration files from several IEDs for system level engineering
•
Generates a substation related configuration file
•
Reads an SSD file as a base for starting system engineering or for comparisons
The complete station configuration is exported in the SCD file for further use by the various IED
configuration tools.
