Do You Know Differences Between Edition 1 and Edition 2 of Standard IEC 61850?

The IEC-61850 first version was published between 2001 and 2004. Since then, each part has been revised and extended towards a version 2 to content improve and respond to needs of others aspects in electric sector. In the first edition, standard’s authors published around 800 TISSUEs (Technical Issues) that generated comments and potential solutions to problems encountered. Table 1 present historical evolution summary each standard section showing list of changes pointed out by the IEC.

2005 / 43 pp

2012 / 170 pp

  • Updates for devices server test procedures.
  • Addition of some test procedures (according to client device, sampled values devices, GOOSE performance).

According these matters are corrections, clarifications, new functionality and the Elimination of features obsolete, others aspects such as:

  • Added new sections parts such as the IEC-61850-80-1: a guide for information exchange from model Common Data Class Objects (CDC) using IEC 60870-5-101 or IEC 60870-5-104; In addition to models devices for Hydro-electric, Wind, Distributed Energy Resource and Power Quality.
  • Object name longitude change from 64 to 128 characters.
  • Logical Device hierarchy allowed.
  • Extended SCL use to allow design bottom-up systems and multiple projects. The extensions are assigned. IID (Instantiated IED Description) and. SSD (System Specification Description).
  • Added “tracking service” that replaces changes monitoring in outputs.
  • Defined redundant system communication, where it is suggested HSR and PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol) Protocol (High-availability Seamless Redundancy).
  • Improvements testing aspects for customers and sampled-values configuration language processors. Allowed to define a test mode for a function through the object Logical Mod Node LLN0. With “TEST-BLOCKED” mode help, function inputs are processed but result does not spread by physical outputs.
  • Safety mechanisms definition.
  • Mechanisms definition for declaring Multicast information subscribers (GOOSE and Sampled Values).
  • Rename standard replacing “substation” by “system” to cover further aspects of substation.
  • Erase IEC GSSE.
  • Defined named enums independent whole counters.
  • Added data types and data objects multiples.

Compatibility between versions 1 and 2 was a very important aspect considered. The most basic requirement is the ability to identify version in particular supported devices. In addition, it was necessary to consider environments where merge servers of each version. For communications, there are no major inconveniences. Some ambiguities related to buffered reports were solved. For models, the new version relates to new functionality. If a device supports this new functionality, public on version 2, while an equivalent process for access to this function is performed by a client. Same consideration applies to design tools.

In conclusion, version 2 IEC-61850 Standard Edition improves and wide-ranging features of version 1. These improvements include tests aspects, new functions inclusion and objects types used in modeling of electrical systems. It is compatible with version 1, even up to different versions servers in the same environment can co-exist.
