The document provides an introduction to substation automation and IEC 61850. It discusses the evolution from conventional to modern substation automation, including distributed intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) that communicate over an Ethernet network. It describes the key aspects of IEC 61850, including the data model approach, use of logical nodes, and engineering process that uses the Substation Configuration Description Language (SCL). The standard aims to provide interoperability, long-term stability, and flexibility in function allocation.

Technical requirements for the standard
Long term stability The standard shall be future proof, i.e.
it must be able to follow the progress in
communication technology as well as
evolving system requirements.
Interoperability The ability for IEDs from one or
several manufacturer to exchange
information and use the information
for the their own functions.
Free allocation The standard shall support different
philosophies and allow a free
allocation of functions e.g. it must
work equally well for centralized (RTU
like) or decentralized (SCS like) systems.

Data model
The data model is an object model close to user
It provides all services for the domain S/S and SA
It provides a high degree of freedom for optimization
It supports the more convenient use of object lists
instead of signal lists

Communication and Logical Nodes
Communication in a Substation Automation System
Information is exchanged between all devices which
comprise the system
More precisely, data are exchanged between the
functions and sub-functions residing in the devices
The smallest part of the function that exchanges data
and very important may be implemented separately in
dedicated devices is called Logical Node (LN) in IEC
61850
The LN is a container of data related to some function
but it is told often that the LN performs some
operations for the overall function
