The standard “IEC/TS 61850-2 Communication networks and systems for power distribution automation - Part 2: Glossary”, which has its origins in a European standard and was subsequently published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), contains a glossary of specific terms and definitions used in the context of substation automation systems that have been standardized in various parts of the IEC 61850 series of standards.
The IEC/TS 61850-61850 standard, which is the technical specification of the IEC 2 standard, applies to electrical distribution automation systems. It defines the communication between smart electronic devices in the electrical distribution automation system and the related system requirements.
This standard contains a glossary of specific terminology and definitions used in the context of electrical distribution automation systems in various sections of the standard. This standard is inherently a living section as new definitions and abbreviations will be continually created in the standard documents developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) related to IEC 61850.
IEC 61850 standards are an engineering standard that is independent of the manufacturer so that smart electronic devices in electrical substation automation systems can communicate with each other.
The utility sector is undergoing rapid changes that affect all areas along the energy chain, from power generation to trading, transmission and distribution. Utilities around the world are facing a multitude of challenges. Renewable and distributed energy resources must be integrated while facing market and regulatory uncertainties. They must improve environmental performance, keep costs low for consumers, and maintain system reliability.
Utility systems require a highly reliable monitoring and control network. Faults must be detected quickly and even repaired remotely. Energy transmission and distribution are particularly sensitive to problematic situations. Potential interruptions in distribution must be kept as short as possible, with no room for errors or delays.
The IEC-TS 61850-2 standard on communication networks and systems is useful for:
Communication networks are organized person-to-person relationship patterns through which information flows within an organization. This means that the flow of information is managed, regulated, and structured. Communication networks can be formal or informal. IEC-TS 61850-2 contains a glossary of specific terminology and definitions used in the context of power distribution automation systems in various sections of the standard. Using the IEC-TS 61850-2 standard , communication between intelligent electronic devices in an electrical distribution automation system is defined.
The latest update of this standard is a technical revision and includes significant technical changes to the previous edition of the standard. For example,
This standard is of fundamental importance for the smart grid.
