Since IEC 61850 became the widely used standard for substation communication with a lot of implementations testing is an important issue. Edition 2 is available since 2012 and offers a wide range of possibilities and sophisticated details. Due to the huge amount of prospects and different places where testing can be located and marked systematization might be helpful and will presented as an introduction...
The "Energy Turnaround" is not a vision anymore — it is reality. With an analysis of blackouts and important disturbances in Europe since 2003 this paper describes the sequence of events and challenges restoring the grid. Since in most of the disturbances described renewables have been involved the paper describes concrete problems and impacts on protection and control. After every blackout...
Creating a common protection testing-template is very intricate because of the high flexibility of digital protection devices. In such a testing-template all main protection functions need to be considered. The Substation Configuration Language (SCL) referring to IEC 61850 defines a consistent representation format. This representation format for example describes the configuration of the protection...
IEC 61850 is the standard widely used for power utility communication utilizing GOOSE for real time communication as well as Client/Server for SCADA communication. Factory acceptance testing (FAT) and site acceptance testing are described in the standard in general manner. This paper describes practical experiences when putting into operation substations according to IEC 61850. Since functional testing...
Since IEC 61850 became the widely used standard for substation communication with a lot of implementations. Testing is an important issue. The standard in its current version covers some possibilities and approaches for testing in general and for measures of performance. Nevertheless some issues came out which needed to be clarified with the new edition of the standard. Edition 2 will be available...
Decentralized Energy Resources (DER) and especially wind farms became a challenge for protection, automation and control in the grids. Transmission system operators as well as distribution system operators require tests of Loss of Mains and other decoupling protection functions. In some countries certification of these functions is required. The units are equipped with a huge amount of internal protection...
Since IEC 61850[1] became the widely used standard for substation communication with a lot of implementations testing is an important issue. The standard in its current version covers some possibilities and approaches for testing in general and for measurements of performance. They will be described and analysed. According to the approach of IEC 61850 the IEDs (Intelligent Electronic Devices) contain...
