TLDR
In this article, the authors discuss the expectation on IEC 61850 interoperability and highlight the findings which were observed during the execution of the initiatives above, such as the development of an IEC61850 laboratory, new product acceptance process for IEC-618-50 devices and in-house software applications for I-6-50 substations, and conclude that the interoperability is one of the important aspects to ensure the success of a Smart Grid implementation.Abstract:
Interoperability is one of the important aspects to ensure the success of a Smart Grid implementation. Interoperability is defined as the ability of the devices and systems in a Smart Grid domain to be able to seamlessly communicate and exchange information with each other. As the public electric utility company in Malaysia, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) believes that the interoperability of solutions from different vendors in Smart Grid domain using open standard is the way forward and has the promising potential to provide substantial cost savings in the near future. TNB has identified the IEC 61850 standard as the key enabler standard for this purpose and has included the standard as a part of the long term technology implementation plan under the TNB Technology Road Map (TRM). To ensure the successful implementation of IEC 61850 standard in a Smart Grid domain, TNB has embarked in several initiatives, such as the development of an IEC 61850 laboratory, new product acceptance process for IEC 61850 devices and in-house software applications for IEC 61850 substations. This paper will discuss TNB's expectation on IEC 61850 interoperability and highlights the findings which were observed during the execution of the initiatives above.read more

Electrical substation automation system modernization through the adoption of IEC61850
Abstract: There is demand for a substation automation system (SAS) that is simple to integrate and provide high performance and flexibility. The increasing installation of Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) provides interoperability and advanced communications capabilities in substation protection, coordination, control, monitoring, metering, and testing. IEC 61850 is the result of the efforts of the IEC Technical Committee 57 to produce an open standard for substation modeling and communications. The standard has gained popularity and continues to spread throughout the world. In this paper, IEC 61850 application in typical substation automation is explored. The experience of a real SAS modernization case is introduced. This case highlights the benefit of the IEC 61850 in substation monitoring and operation.
