IEC 61850 Basics

Data Model and Protocols

This module gives an introduction to the IEC61850 data models, which are the semantical core of the different IEC 61850 communication protocols. It comprises:

• The Standardisation process

• Modeling concept in IEC 61850 and typical models

• Structure of the IEC 61850 standard documentation

• Communication protocols defined in IEC61850

  • Get, Set, Selfdescription,

  • Report, Logging,

  • GOOSE, 

  • Sampled Values,

  • File Exchange

  • Protocol basics and messaging
