IEC 61850 in MiCOM Relays

Interoperability for Advanced Protection and Control

APPLICATIONS USING MiCOM RELAYS

IEC 61850 is the global standard for communication in substations. It enables integration of all protection, control, measurement and monitoring functions within a substation, and additionally provides the means for high-speed substation protection applications, interlocking and intertripping. It combines the convenience of Ethernet with the performance and security which is essential in substations today.

AREVA T&D is now offering an optional IEC 61850-8-1 interface on the majority of MiCOM relays, covering applications for feeder, distance, line differential, busbar, generator, phase comparison and transformer protection.

The comprehensive implementation facilitates integration of the MiCOM relays into IEC 61850-based Substation Automation Systems, including our PACiS system, over the IEC 61850 8-1 Substation Bus, and at the same time allows the interface with our own or other vendors' Merging Units over the IEC 61850 9-2 Process Bus, thus completing AREVA T&D Automation's offer of a full IEC 61850 solution for your substation.

AREVA T&D do not put a premium price on this new substation communication technology. IEC 61850-enabled MiCOM relays are fitted with an integral Ethernet card providing both copper and fiber Ethernet. No external adaptors or data concentrators are necessary; only standard Ethernet equipment such as switches (substationgrade switches, offering extremely fast reconfiguration for a single fiber failure in a ring topology, can be supplied by AREVA T&D).

Customer benefits Cost effective solution due to reduced inter-wiring Flexible programming allowing relays and new protection functions to be added without affecting physical wiring No external protocol converters are required

AREVA provides solutions that allow the migration from conventional or different legacy Substation Automation Systems to IEC 61850 based systems. Relays that support other communication protocols can be integrated using "proxy" servers.

IEC 61850 OFFERS THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS TO UTILITIES AND INDUSTRIAL USERS: > High Speed Data Exchange Ethernet links operating at 100 Mbit/s exchange polled data and commands between devices at a far faster rate than traditional serial/ fieldbus protocols. Clients (master stations) can perform supervisory control with negligible delay. Client-Server replaces Master-Slave communications and allows simultaneous access of several clients to the same server (IED).

> True Interoperability The self-descriptive nature of IEC 61850-compatible IEDs means that system integration and commissioning are easier. Standardized data classes and services mean IEC 61850-enabled MiCOM IEDs can operate seamlessly in multi-vendor environments.

> Peer-to-Peer Message (GOOSE) Generic Object-Oriented Substation Event (GOOSE) messages can be used for interlocking, disturbance recording cross-triggering, breaker failure protection tripping, directional comparison bus protection and many other advanced applications, thus eliminating extensive hardwiring in equipment bays and so reducing the cost of implementing advanced distributed protection and control schemes. The AREVA implementation of the IEC GOOSE messaging provides faster end-to-end transfer than using hardwiring!

> Uniformity One protocol is all that is needed in the substation. Costly gateways and split path communications are thus avoided. Peer-to-peer messages, control commands, disturbance files transfer or event driven reports are interleaved on a single Substation Bus network. Multiple clients can be integrated, allowing authorized operators and engineers to interrogate and control the substation IEDs.

> Simplified Engineering Process The Substation Configuration Language defined in the standard represents a leap in the engineering process related to any type of substation automation application. It is based on a standardized abstract object model that allows the development of substation specification, configuration, analysis and testing tools.

> Process Bus Interface Analog interface units (or Merging Units) located in the substation yard interface with conventional or non-conventional instrument transformers and send the sampled current and voltage values over fiber, thus significantly reducing (actually eliminating) the copper wires between the substation primary equipment and the protection, control and measuring devices.

MiCOM CAPABILITY The IEC 61850 interface of the MiCOM relays has been designed to deliver a very comprehensive implementation of IEC 61850. An overview of the capability of the first phase of implementation is outlined in Table 1.

> Standard Bay Schemes Economies of scale will result where standard protection and control bay schemes are engineered. The exact customizing of the scheme to suit the application is achieved in software, using GOOSE logic.

The MiCOM S1 Support Software allows configuration for the protection and logic settings, and for control and monitoring of IEC 61850-enabled MiCOM relays, either via a serial or an Ethernet connection, whether or not an IEC 61850-based control system is present. The MiCOM S1 Support Software also provides an IED Configurator tool. Its primary purpose is to manipulate configuration, based on the SCL files produced within the system engineering process of an IEC 61850based system, and send it to a MiCOM relay. To satisfy the requirements of manual configuration at precommissioning stage, the possibility to create a blank configuration based on the MiCOM relay's capability (ICD) file is also available. Other features of the IED Configurator allow for the extraction of configuration for viewing or modification and error checking of configuration data for pre-commissioning validation of the MiCOM relay configuration.

IEC 61850 SUPPORT IN MiCOM RELAYS Many of the MiCOM relays are available with the optional IEC 61850-8-1 interface, as shown in Table 2 below. IEC 61850 is also supported as standard in MiCOM C264 control / bay module devices, and AREVA T&D has many references for PACiS systems using IEC 61850. Figure 1 IED Configurator tool
