IEC 61850
IEC 61850 is a standard for the design of electrical substation automation. IEC 61850 is a part of the International
Electrotechnical Commission's (IEC) Technical Committee 57 (TC57)[1] reference architecture for electric power
systems. The abstract data models defined in IEC 61850 can be mapped to a number of protocols. Current mappings
in the standard are to MMS (Manufacturing Message Specification), GOOSE, SMV, and soon to Web Services.
These protocols can run over TCP/IP networks and/or substation LANs using high speed switched Ethernet to obtain
the necessary response times of < 4 ms for protective relaying..

History
Multiple protocols exist for substation automation, which include many proprietary protocols with custom
communication links. Interoperation of devices from different vendors would be an advantage to users of substation
automation devices. An IEC project group of about 60 members from different countries worked in three IEC
working groups from 1995. They responded to all the concerns and objectives and created IEC 61850. The
objectives set for the standard were:
1. A single protocol for complete substation considering modeling of different data required for substation.
2. Definition of basic services required to transfer data so that the entire mapping to communication protocol can be
made future proof.
3. Promotion of high interoperability between systems from different vendors.
4. A common method/format for storing complete data.
5. Define complete testing required for the equipments which conforms to the standard.
