Wind turbines -- Part 25-2: Communications for monitoring and control of wind power plants - Information models

The focus of the IEC 61400-25 series 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 the IEC 61400-25 series. The IEC 61400-25 series is designed for a communication environment supported by a clientserver model. Three areas are defined, that are modelled separately to ensure the scalability of implementations: 1) wind power plant information models, 2) information exchange model, and 3) 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. The IEC 61400-25 series enables connectivity between a heterogeneous combination of client and servers from different manufacturers and suppliers. As depicted in Figure 1, the IEC 61400-25 series defines a server with the following aspects: - information provided by a wind power plant component, for example "wind turbine rotor speed" or "total power production of a certain time interval", is modelled and made available for access. - 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). The IEC 61400-25 series only defines how to model the information, information exchange and mapping to specific communication protocols. The standard excludes a definition of how and where to implement the communication interface, the application program interface and implementation recommendations. However, the objective of the standard is that the information associated with a single wind power plant component (such as a wind turbine) is accessible through a corresponding logical device. IEC 61400-25-2 specifies the information model of devices and functions related to wind power plant applications. In particular, it specifies the compatible logical node names, and data names for communication between wind power plant components. This includes the relationship between logical devices, logical nodes and data. The names defined in the IEC 61400-25 series are used to build the hierarchical object references applied for communicating with components in wind power plants.

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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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 61400-25-2 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 88:
Wind turbines.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
The IEC 61400-25 series defines communication for monitoring and control of wind power
plants. The modeling approach of the IEC 61400-25 series has been selected to provide
abstract definitions of classes and services such that the specifications are independent of
specific protocol stacks, implementations, and operating systems. The mapping of these
abstract classes and services to a specific communication profile is not within the scope of
1
this part of the IEC 61400-25 series but within the scope of future IEC 61400-25-4 .
To reach interoperability, all data in the information model need a strong definition with regard
to syntax and semantics. The semantics of the data is mainly provided by names assigned to
logical nodes and data they contain, as defined in this part of the IEC 61400-25 series.
Interoperability is easiest if as much as possible of the data are defined as mandatory.
It should be noted that data with full semantics is only one of the elements required to achieve
interoperability. Since data and services are hosted by devices (IED), a proper device model
is needed along with compatible domain specific services (see IEC 61400-25-3).
This part is used to specify the abstract definitions of a logical device class, logical node
classes, data classes, and abstract common data classes. These abstract definitions are
mapped into concrete object definitions that are to be used for a particular protocol.
The compatible logical node name and data name definitions found in this part and the
associated semantics are fixed.
NOTE Performance of the IEC 61400-25 series implementations are application specific. The IEC 61400-25 series
does not guarantee a certain level of performance. This is beyond the scope of the IEC 61400-25 series. However,
there is no underlying limitation in the communications technology to prevent high speed application (millisecond
level responses).

WIND TURBINES –

Part 25-2: Communications for monitoring
and control of wind power plants –
Information models



1 Scope
The focus of the IEC 61400-25 series 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 the IEC 61400-25
series.
The IEC 61400-25 series 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:
1) wind power plant information models,
2) information exchange model, and
3) 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. The IEC 61400-25 series enables
connectivity between a heterogeneous combination of client and servers from different
manufacturers and suppliers.
As depicted in Figure 1, the IEC 61400-25 series defines a server with the following aspects:
– information provided by a wind power plant component, for example “wind turbine rotor
speed” or “total power production of a certain time interval”, is modelled and made
available for access.
– 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).
The IEC 61400-25 series only defines how to model the information, information exchange
and mapping to specific communication protocols. The standard excludes a definition of how
and where to implement the communication interface, the application program interface and
implementation recommendations. However, the objective of the standard is that the
information associated with a single wind power plant component (such as a wind turbine) is
accessible through a corresponding logical device.
IEC 61400-25-2 specifies the information model of devices and functions related to wind
power plant applications. In particular, it specifies the compatible logical node names, and
data names for communication between wind power plant components. This includes the
relationship between logical devices, logical nodes and data. The names defined in the IEC
61400-25 series are used to build the hierarchical object references applied for
communicating with components in wind power plants.

This part of IEC 61400-25 specifies common attribute types and common data classes related
to wind turbine applications. In particular it specifies common data classes for:
• setpoint value,

• state timing,
• alarm set status.

The documents have been drawn up by IEC TC88 Project Team 25, consisting of experts from many of the large vendors
as well as representatives of utilities, consultants and suppliers of third-party products.
All parts are distributed for comments and voting simultaneously, as committee drafts for voting (CDV).
The following major changes have been made as a result of the comments and proposals received on the CD (88/214/CD):
- Logical node WALM, used for representing all possible wind turbine alarms has been replaced by WEVT – wind
power plant event information. WEVT can be used to represent active alarms or events for a wind turbine or any other
WPP components.
- Information related to transformer has been collected in a new logical node WTRF. For information related to grid
connection, e.g breakers logical nodes in IEC 61850 can be reused.
- Mandatory and optional data of logical nodes have been modified, added or deleted.
- The names and semantics of several Data and CDC’s have been coordinated with related names used in IEC 61850.
- An informative annex that shall contain a complete list of all mandatory data and data attributes of the information
has been added. The content will be added after the CDV.
The P-members of TC88 are encouraged to pay special attention to the revised information model for alarms and events.
Two specific questions are:
1) To what extent shall the standard specify a model for how to represent the total list of possible alarms?
2) Shall the CDC ALM be made more general so that it can be used not only for alarms, or shall a new CDC be created
to represent events?

11 FOREWORD
12 1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organisation for standardisation comprising
13 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
14 international co-operation on all questions concerning standardisation in the electrical and electronic fields. To
15 this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is
16 entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
17 participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organisations liaising
18 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International
19 Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the
20 two organisations.
21 2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
22 international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
23 from all interested National Committees.
24 3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
25 of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
26 Committees in that sense.
27 4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
28 Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
29 divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
30 indicated in the latter.
31 5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
32 equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
33 6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
34 of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
35 Recipients of this document are invited to submit, with their comments, notification of
36 any relevant patent rights of which they are aware and to provide supporting documen-
37 tation.
38 This committee draft for voting of the International Standard IEC 61400-25 has been prepared
39 by IEC technical committee 88: Wind turbines Project team 25.
40 This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

1 INTRODUCTION
2 This part of IEC 61400-25 is a part of set of specifications. IEC 61400-25 defines communica-
3 tion architecture for wind power plants. This architecture has been chosen to provide abstract
4 definitions of classes and services such that the specifications are independent of specific
5 protocol stacks, implementations, and operating systems. The mapping of these abstract
6 classes and services to communication stacks is outside the scope of IEC 61400-25-2 and
7 may be found in IEC 61400-25-4.
8 To reach interoperability, all data in the information model need a strong definition with regard
9 to syntax and semantics. The semantics of the data is mainly provided by names assigned to
10 logical nodes and data they contain, as defined in this part. Interoperability is easiest if as
11 much as possible of the data are defined as mandatory.
12 It should be noted that data with full semantics is only one of the elements required to achieve
13 interoperability. Since data and services are hosted by devices (IED), a proper device model
14 is needed along with compatible, domain specific services (see IEC 61400-25-3).
15 This part is used to specify the abstract definitions of a logical device class, logical node
16 classes, data classes, and abstract common data classes. These abstract definitions shall
17 be mapped into concrete object definitions that are to be used for a particular protocol.
18 The compatible logical node name and data name definitions found in this part and the
19 associated semantics are fixed.
20 NOTE 1 Performance of IEC 61400-25 implementations are application specific. The standard does not guarantee
21 a certain level of performance. That’s out of the scope. However there is no underlying limitation in the communica-
22 tions technology to prevent high speed application (millisecond level responses).
23 NOTE 2 The standard IEC 61400-25 has a close relation with other IEC projects like IEC 61850 Addendum 1
24 (Communication networks and systems in substations - Power Quality Monitoring), IEC 62350 (Communications
25 Systems for Distributed Energy Resources (DER)), and IEC 62344 (Hydroelectric power plants – Communication
26 for monitoring and control).

2 WIND TURBINES –

4 Part 25-2:
5 Communications for monitoring and control of wind power plants –
6 Information models
7 1 Scope
8 The focus of IEC 61400-25 is on the communications between wind power plant components
9 such as wind turbines and actors such as SCADA Systems. Internal communication within
10 wind power plant components is outside the scope of this standard.
11 IEC 61400-25 is designed for a communication environment supported by a client-server
12 model. Three areas are defined, that are modelled separately to ensure the scalability of im-
13 plementations: (1) wind power plant information models, (2) information exchange model, and
14 (3) mapping of these two models to a standard communication profile.
15 The wind power plant information model and the information exchange model, viewed to-
16 gether, constitute an interface between client and server. In this conjunction, the wind power
17 plant information model serves as an interpretation frame for available wind power plant data.
18 The wind power plant information model is used by the server to offer the client a uniform,
19 component-oriented view of the wind power plant data. The information exchange model re-
20 flects the whole active functionality of the server. IEC 61400-25 enables connectivity between
21 a heterogeneous combination of client and servers from different manufacturers and suppli-
22 ers.
23 As depicted in Figure 1 IEC 61400-25 defines mainly a server with the following aspects:
24 − information provided by a real application of a wind power plant component, e. g.,
25 “wind turbine rotor speed” or “total power production of a certain time interval” is mod-
26 elled and made available for access.
27 − services to exchange values of the modelled information defined in part IEC 61400-
28 25-3
29 − mapping to a communication profile, providing a protocol stack, to carry the ex-
30 changed values from the modelled information (part IEC 61400-25-4)
31 IEC 61400-25 only defines how to model the information, information exchange and mapping
32 to specific communication protocols. The standard excludes a definition of how and where to
33 implement the communication interface. However, the objective of the standard is that the in-
34 formation associated with a single wind power plant component (such as the wind turbine) is
35 accessible through a corresponding logical device.
36 Part IEC 61400-25-2 specifies the information model of devices and functions related to wind
37 power plant applications. In particular, it specifies the compatible logical device names, logi-
38 cal node names, and data names for communication between wind power plant components.
39 This includes the relationship between logical devices, logical nodes and data. The names de-
40 fined in this document are used to build the hierarchical object references applied for commu-
41 nicating with components in wind power plants.
