IEC61850 is an important new international standard for substation automation that will

have a very significant impact on how electric power systems are designed and built for

many years to come. IEC61850 is a part of the International Electrotechnical

Commission’s (IEC) Technical Committee 57 (TC57) architecture for electric power

systems. The model-driven approach of the TC57 standards, including IEC61850, is an

innovative approach that requires a new way of thinking about substation automation that

will result in very significant improvements in both costs and performance of electric

power systems.

SISCO’s IEC61850 Tutorial takes a practical approach to helping utility engineers

understand how IEC61850 can be used to benefit their organization. The tutorial begins

by explaining why these standards are important, how they differ from legacy

technology, and how these differences will benefit users. The student is then guided

through the IEC61850 standard itself to illustrate how IEC68150 delivers these benefits

via standardized device, object, and service models. Definitions and overviews of the

most important concepts will be presented with detailed examples that relate to actual

power systems. The tutorial is concluded with a hands-on session in which the attendees

will install and configure an actual IEC61850 application and network analysis software

on their own laptop computers and communicate over an Ethernet network with an

IEC61850 server.
