Compliance testing

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.
International Standard IEC 61400-25-5 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 88:
Wind energy generation systems.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2006. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
• Harmonization with structure and test cases in IEC 61850-10:2012.
• The use of SCL in the compliance testing process is out of the scope for this edition, but
will be considered for Edition 3.
• Reduction of overlap between standards and simplification by increased referencing to the
IEC 61850 standard series.

• All test cases applying SCL files are still not a part of the present document as the SCL
specifications for wind power domain are still pending to be published.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
88/643/FDIS 88/650/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
Future standards in this series will carry the new general title as cited above. Titles of existing
standards in this series will be updated at the time of the next edition.
A list of all parts of the IEC 61400 series, under the general title Wind energy generation
systems, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to
the specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.

INTRODUCTION
The focus of IEC 61400-25 (all parts) is on the communications between wind power plant
components such as wind turbines and actors such as SCADA Systems. Internal
communication within wind power plant components is outside the scope of IEC 61400-25 (all
parts).
IEC 61400-25 (all parts) is designed for a communication environment supported by a client-
server model. Three areas are defined, that are modelled separately to ensure the scalability
of implementations:
a) wind power plant information models,
b) information exchange model, and
c) mapping of these two models to a standard communication profile.
The wind power plant information model and the information exchange model, viewed
together, constitute an interface between client and server. In this conjunction, the wind
power plant information model serves as an interpretation frame for accessible wind power
plant data. The wind power plant information model is used by the server to offer the client a
uniform, component-oriented view of the wind power plant data. The information exchange
model reflects the whole active functionality of the server. IEC 61400-25 (all parts) enables
connectivity between a heterogeneous combination of client and servers from different
manufacturers and suppliers.
As depicted in Figure 1, IEC 61400-25 (all parts) defines a server with the following aspects:
– information provided by a wind power plant component, e. g., “wind turbine rotor speed” or
“total power production of a certain time interval” is modelled and made available for
access. The information modelled in the document is defined in IEC 61400-25-2,
– services to exchange values of the modelled information defined in IEC 61400-25-3,
– mapping to a communication profile, providing a protocol stack to carry the exchanged
values from the modelled information (IEC 61400-25-4).
IEC 61400-25 (all parts) only defines how to model the information, information exchange and
mapping to specific communication protocols. IEC 61400-25 (all parts) excludes a definition
of how and where to implement the communication interface, the application program
interface and implementation recommendations. However, the objective of IEC 61400-25 (all
parts) is that the information associated with a single wind power plant component (such as
the wind turbine) is accessible through a corresponding logical device.
The intended readers for the present document are device or system and/or system
component manufacturers and test system developers/providers.
NOTE Abbreviations used in IEC 61400-25-5 are listed in Clauses 3 and 4 or can be found in other parts of
IEC 61400-25 standard series that are relevant for compliance testing.

Compliance testing



1 Scope
This part of IEC 61400-25 specifies standard techniques for testing of compliance of
implementations, as well as specific measurement techniques to be applied when declaring
performance parameters. The use of these techniques will enhance the ability of users to
purchase systems that integrate easily, operate correctly, and support the applications as
intended.
This part of IEC 61400-25 defines:
• the methods and abstract test cases for compliance testing of server and client devices
used in wind power plants,
• the metrics to be measured in said devices according to the communication requirements
specified in IEC 61400-25 (all parts).
NOTE The role of the test facilities for compliance testing and certifying the results are outside of the scope of
IEC 61400-25-5.
