IEC 61850 & IEC 61400-25 SCC

Motivation:
sustainable
interoperability
The standards IEC 61850 Communication networks and systems for power utility automation and IEC 61400-25
Communications for monitoring and control of wind power plants provide support for sustainable interopera-
bility: Information Models, Information Exchange Methods, Protocol Mappings, and System Configu-
ration Language (SCL) for Power Systems (Generation, Transmission, and Distribution for HV, MV, and LV, ).

Logical Nodes (LN) represent real-world Inputs, Outputs, Ratings, and Settings of functions or equipment.
A LN provides a list of named data objects (DO). The LN XCBR represents a real circuit breaker with the data
object (DO) Pos (Position). IEC 61850-7-2 defines Information Exchange Methods, e.g., for the position
(with Client/Server services, GOOSE, SMV). Data flow is specified by a SCL file (IEC 61850-6).

Example: Measurement LN MMXU represents power, voltages, currents, impedances, in a three-phase electrical system. The values
can be communicated by various services. The LN MMXU comprises values for measurements, monitoring, configuration, set-
tings, description, and substitution. These values can be communicated by various services like read (polling), reporting, GOOSE,
logging and log query. Recording and logging are build upon monitored value changes. The SCL configuration file .SCD (System
Configuration Description) specifies the single line diagram of the substation, the information model, the parameters of the con-
trol blocks for reporting and logging, GOOSE, SV, the binding to the process and the data flow.
