IEC TC57 Substation Configuration Language Summary PDF

1. Substation Configuration Language (SCL) is defined in IEC 61850 Part 6 and includes four file types: System Specification Description (SSD), Substation Configuration Description (SCD), IED Capability Description (ICD), and Configured IED Description (CID). 2. The files have five common sections: Header, Substation, Communications, IED, and Data Type Templates. The SSD file describes the single line diagram and functions, the ICD describes IED capabilities, the SCD describes the complete substation, and the CID configures a specific IED. 3. Together the files and sections provide a standard way to represent substation configuration and IED

Substation Configuration Language

Summary
August 2006
CONFIGURATION
SCL Format
TC57
• Defined in IEC 61850 Part 6
• Four different file types
• System Specification Description (SSD) – power system functions
• Substation Configuration Description (SCD) – complete substation
• IED Capability Description (ICD) – the data reported by a type of IED
• Configured IED Description(CID) – the configuration of a specific IED

• Five sections per file


• Header – Identifies the configuration file
• Substation – Identifies electrical connections and functions
• Communications – Identifies addresses and subnetworks
• IED – Identifies functions and configuration of devices
• Data Type Templates – Used to build the other sections

• The IED capability description file (.icd) describes the capabilities and
(optionally) the preconfigured data model of the IED
– logical devices, logical nodes, logical node types
– data sets
– control blocks – not populated
• Think of it as an “IED Template”

File File

IED Configuration Tool

• The configured IED description file (.cid) describes an instantiated IED with
all configuration parameters relevant for that IED
• Created by the IED configuration tool from the .scd file
• Includes the device-specific configuration data
• Use of the .cid file to configure the IED is optional.
• As an alternate solution, a vendor specific file may be used
CONFIGURATION
SCL Substation Section
TC57

• Concepts of voltage level, bay, power functionality


• Associates Logical Nodes (functions) with:
– Electrical connections (required)
– IEDs (optional)
• Can be used to build a one-line diagram
CONFIGURATION
SCL Communications Section
TC57

• Concepts of subnetwork, and access point


• Identifies communications addresses of IEDs
• Can be used for network management
CONFIGURATION
SCL IED and Data Type Sections
TC57

• Defines the object model of each device


• Shows correspondence between devices and access points
• Shows structure of server, logical devices, logical nodes, data
objects, data attributes, data types
• Same information as available from self-description
