Part 90-10: Models for scheduling
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC
Publication(s)"). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. However, a
technical committee may propose the publication of a technical report when it has collected
data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard, for
example "state of the art".
IEC TR 61850-90-10, which is a technical report, has been prepared by IEC technical
committee 57: Power systems management and associated information exchange.

IEC 61850.
The parameters, which identify this new namespace, are:
• Namespace Version: 2017
• Namespace Revision: A
• UML model file which reflects this namespace edition: wg10uml02v17-wg18uml02v11b-
wg17uml02v18-jwg25uml02v04c.eap, UML model version WG17UML02v18
• Namespace release date: 2017-06-12
• Namespace name: "(Tr)IEC61850-90-10:2017A"
The namespace "(Tr)IEC61850-90-10:2017A" is considered as "transitional" since the models
are expected to be included in the next editions of IEC 61850-7-4xx and IEC 61850-7-3.
Potential extensions/modifications may happen if/when the models are moved to International
Standard status. Only the new data objects and CDCs that are not said inherited from existing
LNs will be tagged with this namespace name. The others should still refer to the namespace
where they are primarily defined.

4 Requirements for schedules
4.1 Schedules for establishing time-based behaviour
Schedules establish which behaviour (for example, tariff 1 or 2, mode 1 or 3) is applied during
specified time periods. A schedule consists of a series of entries. Entries of a schedule
represent the value of a setpoint, the activation value of a particular mode or the value of a
parameter for a mode. All the entries of a single schedule refer to a same data object which is
---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
IEC TR 61850-90-10:2017 © IEC 2017 – 9 –
a controllable object, a setpoint or a setting and which is called "scheduled entity" in this
document.
One of the most common uses of schedules is for scheduling real power output. In that case,
DER systems that directly manage their power output, such as reciprocating engines and
energy storage systems, may use schedules to determine the time and level of power output.
However, many other controllable entities may also be scheduled. Larger inverter-based DER
systems and large aggregations of small inverter-based DER systems have significant
influence on the distribution system and have local Volt-VAr characteristics that may vary
throughout the day. As a result, a single function or operational mode such as a specific Volt-
VAr curve may not be suitable at all times. Yet sending many control commands every few
hours to many different DER systems may impact bandwidth-limited communications systems
or may not be received in a timely manner, leading to inadequate DER system responses.
However, if schedules are established that the DER systems will follow autonomously, then
these communication impacts will be minimized.
Schedules may be used to allow even more autonomous control of the behaviour of DER
equipment. They are usually sent ahead of time, and then activated at the appropriate time or
by an external trigger event. There are different applications for schedules:
• schedules for direct values (e.g. setpoints for P/Q/cosphi);
• schedules for constraints (e.g. do not exceed the maximum value of P/Q/cosphi at a
certain time);
• schedules for pricing information (act on constraints);
• schedules for activation of modes (e.g. Volt-VAr curves);
• schedules for parameters of modes.
4.2 Relation between schedules and directly set values and parameters of the DER
system
As has been mentioned before, schedules are an alternate way to determine the behaviour
compared to direct control possibilities (i.e. using setpoints or activate and configure a
selected mode of operation). Therefore, it is important to describe how schedules and direct
control possibilities interact.
5 Principles for modelling schedules
5.1 Schedule controllers and their schedules
Within an electrical system, multiple entities may be scheduled in parallel. For example, it is
possible to schedule active power and reactive power. For each of the scheduled entities (see
4.1 and 6.1), there will be, as depicted in Figure 1, at most one schedule controller and
potentially several schedules referenced (used) by the schedule controller. One given
schedule may be referenced by multiple schedule controllers.
An entity is a data object that exists in the IEC 61850 data model which is either a data object
supporting control services (e.g. binary control or setpoint) or it is a setting (data object that
includes attributes of FC=SP). The schedule controller has a data object which is a reference
to the scheduled data object (see 6.3). For instance, a schedule controller could be
associated with WMax (setting of the maximum real power output of a DER – namespace "(TR)
IEC 61850-90-7:2012"). Another schedule controller could be associated with OpModVVAr
which enables/disables the volt/var mode (namespace "(TR) IEC 61850-90-7:2012").
The description in this subclause applies to one scheduled entity (i.e. one schedule controller
and multiple schedules).

Figure 1 – Scheduling principle
5.2 Scheduling and direct control / setting
5.2.1 General
As mentioned in 5.1, scheduling applies to scheduled entities which are data objects in the
IEC 61850 data model which may be controlled through control services (controllable data
object) or which are settings where the value may be written.
5.2.2 Case when the scheduled entity is of type "controllable data object"
1
For controllable data objects a new data object will be added in IEC 61850-7-4 for each
logical node which will indicate if direct settings control shall be used or if scheduling shall be
used.
The behaviour, if scheduling is used and the schedule controller has no valid output (e.g. no
schedule is active), shall be the same behaviour as when a setpoint has never been initialized,
or when a controllable object has not received any control yet. It depends on the scheduled
entity and shall be defined by user requirements or declared in the MICS of the device.
NOTE As an example, a photovoltaic system may feed in as much power as possible into the grid if no schedule
is active. A pump may not operate anymore if no schedule is active. A valve may stay at the position it has last
reached.
If the scheduled entity is of type "controllable object" and is used as a setpoint (data objects
of the CDC APC that are not controlling equipment), the value applied shall be reflected in the
data attribute mxVal. If the schedule controller has no valid output, the quality of mxVal of the
scheduled entity shall be set to invalid.
5.2.3 Case when the scheduled entity is of type "setting"
For settings, the DO Mod of the schedule controller shall be set to "off" to indicate that the
direct settings shall be used.
