Communication networks and systems for power utility automation - Part 80-1: Guideline to exchanging information from a CDC-based data model using IEC 60870-5-101 or IEC 60870-5-104

This technical specification gives a guideline on how to exchange information from a CDCbased data model (for example IEC 61850) using IEC 60870-5-101 or IEC 60870-5-104 between substation(s) and control center(s). Mostly guidelines for functions needed in a substation gateway device are given. The goal of this technical specification is to describe standardized mapping of device-oriented data models (for example IEC 61850) with already defined attributes of CDC's and services (for example IEC 61850-7) onto the already defined ASDU's and services of IEC 60870-5-104 or IEC 60870-5-101. It is not the goal of this technical specification to add any extensions to published standards (for example IEC 61850 or IEC 60870-5-104 or IEC 60870-5-101). After an introduction giving a basic description of the mapping, the mapping of the information model with associated data classes, and the mapping of services are described. Clause 9 shows how the mapped data and services according to the IEC 60870-5-104 and IEC 60870-5-101 protocol are marked (selected) in the interoperability sheet. The scope of this technical specification is to achieve real-time exchange of process information required for operational purposes between a substation using a CDC-based data model (for example IEC 61850) and (a) control centre(s) using a communication link over a wide area network (WAN) compliant to the definitions of IEC 60870-5-101 or IEC 60870-5- 104. The amount of real-time information provided by the substation-gateway device can vary dependent on the operational needs. Actors could be regional and nationwide control centers that receive real-time information in order to monitor and control geographically widespread processes. The described mapping can be used for several fields of application of power utilities, such as substations, hydro and wind power plants, and decentralized energy resources DER. The mapping is based on the definitions of the standard series IEC 61850 Edition 1.0 and IEC 60870-5-104:2006/IEC 60870-5-101:2003. The scope of the mapped IEC 60870-5-104 and IEC 60870-5-101 subset is given in Clause 9. This technical specification focuses mainly on defining rules and functions of a gateway device as a part of the substation. However, the rules and functions are also valid when an IED may optionally be connected directly to a WAN compliant with IEC 60870-5-101 or IEC 60870-5-104 and therefore, the mapping has to be done inside the IED.

Kommunikationsnetze und -systeme für die Automatisierung in der elektrischen Energieversorgung - Teil 80-1: Leitfaden zum Informationsaustausch mit einer Datenbasis, die auf gemeinsamen Datenklassen beruht, mit Hilfe von IEC 60870-5-101 oder IEC 60870-5-104

Komunikacijska omrežja in sistemi za avtomatizacijo porabe električne energije - 80-1. del: Smernica za izmenjavo informacij po podatkovnem modelu na podlagi CDC z uporabo IEC 60870-5-101 ali IEC 60870-5-104

Ta tehnična specifikacija podaja smernico za izmenjavo informacij po podatkovnem modelu na podlagi CDC (na primer IEC 61850) z uporabo IEC 60870-5-101 ali IEC 60870-5-104 med eno ali več razdelilnimi postajami in enim ali več nadzornimi centri. Večinoma so podana navodila za funkcije, ki so potrebne za prehodno napravo razdelilne postaje. Cilj te tehnične specifikacije je opisati standardizirano preslikavanje podatkovnih modelov, usmerjenih na naprave (na primer IEC 61850) z že definiranimi atributi CDC in storitev (na primer IEC 61850-7) na že definirane ASDU in storitve iz IEC 60870-5-104 ali IEC 60870-5-101. Cilj te tehnične specifikacije ni dodati kakršnihkoli razširitev objavljenim standardom (na primer IEC 61850 ali IEC 60870-5-104 ali IEC 60870-5-101). Po uvodu, ki podaja osnovni opis preslikave, sta opisana preslikava informacijskega modela s povezanimi razredi podatkov in preslikava storitev. Klavzula 9 prikazuje, kako so preslikani podatki in storitve v skladu s protokolom IEC 60870-5-104 in IEC 60870-5-101 označeni (izbrani) v medobratovalni preglednici. Področje te tehnične specifikacije je doseči izmenjavo procesnih informacij, potrebnih za operativne namene v realnem času, med razdelilno postajo, ki uporablja podatkovni model osnovan na CDC (na primer IEC 61850) in enim ali več nadzornimi centri, ki uporabljajo komunikacijsko povezavo preko prostranega omrežja (WAN), v skladu z definicijami v IEC 60870-5-101 ali IEC 60870-5- 104. Količina informacij v realnem času, ki jo zagotavlja prehodna naprava razdelilne postaje, se lahko razlikuje glede na operativne potrebe. Akterji so lahko regionalni in nacionalni kontrolni centri, ki prejemajo informacije v realnem času za spremljanje in nadzor geografsko razširjenih procesov. Opisana preslikava se lahko uporablja za več področij uporabe energetske infrastrukture, kot so razdelilne postaje, hidroelektrarne in vetrne elektrarne ter decentralizirani energetski viri. Preslikava je osnovana na definicijah serije standardov IEC 61850 izdaja 1.0 in IEC 60870-5-104:2006/IEC 60870-5-101:2003. Obseg preslikane podmnožice IEC 60870-5-104 in IEC 60870-5-101 je podan v Klavzuli 9. Ta tehnična specifikacija se osredotoča predvsem na definiranje pravil in funkcij prehodne naprave kot dela razdelilne postaje. Vendar pa pravila in funkcije veljajo tudi, kadar je lahko IED po izbiri povezan neposredno z WAN v skladu z IEC 60870-5-101 ali IEC 60870-5-104 in mora zato preslikava biti izvršena znotraj IED.

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.
