What is IEC61850

• A new standard being worked on under IEC TC57,
  WG-10-11-12
• Communication Networks and Systems in Substations
• A 10 Part Standard document
• Part 6 is focused on Substation Automation System
  configuration description language

3
Part 6 SCL

• Substation Configuration Language
• Description language for configurations of
  electrical substation IEDs
• Describes IED configurations
• Describes IED communications
• Describes the relationship between SA system and
  substation switchyard

4
Part 6 SCL ...

• Allow interoperable exchange of communication
  system configuration data between IED and system
  configuration tool
• Specifies a file format for describing
• Communication related IED configuration
• IED parameters
• Communication system configurations
• Switchyard function structures
• Relationships between above configurations

5
Part 6 SCL ...

• The configuration language is based on Extensible
  Markup Language (XML) version 1.0
• .ICD for IED Configuration Description
• .SCD for Substation Configuration Description

6
Configuration Process of Part 6 SCL

• List Pre-configured IEDs with a fixed number of
  Logical Nodes
• Pre-configured IEDs with a pre-configured
  semantics for a process
• Complete process configuration with all IEDs
  bound to individual process functions and primary
  equipment
