•  Modeling monitoring in IEC 61850

•  Sensors

•  Measuring and metering

•  Supervision and protection

•  Condition monitoring

Monitoring and supervision - examples

•  Supervision of an insulation media – resulting in some
actions taken by the system (e.g. trip breakers)

•  Supervision of a heating – resulting in actions initiated by

an operator (e.g. send maintenance people on place)

•  Collect information about the condition of an equipment –

can be analyzed by a specific tool to produce
recommendations for maintenance

Logical nodes for sensors

•  TCTR and TVTR for electrical quantities

•  Many LNs for non electrical quantities are added in Edition 2

•  Output of sensor logical nodes is typically an analog signal

modeled as sampled values

•  Data EEHealth used to supervise the sensor

Interaction between LNs on different levels

•  Not shown on this picture: Figure 20 IEC 61850-90-3

–  Supervision logical nodes “S” (e.g. SIMG – Supervision Insulation

Medium Gas).
•  “S” logical nodes are used at the bay level and communicate with
“T” logical nodes

© 2015

Measuring and metering

•  Measured quantities are further processed to generate
valuable information like
–  Currents, voltage, power and impedance in a three phase system
(MMXU)
–  Calculation of energy in a three phase system (MMTR)
–  Calculation of harmonics and interharmonics (MHAI)

•  Statistical evaluation of these values is possible

–  Maximum or minimum value over a defined period
–  Creating a history of this information

Supervision and protection

•  Measured quantities are evaluated with the purpose to
detect dangerous situations
–  A supervision of the quantities like e.g. an insulation medium in
Sxxx logical nodes
–  A processing of the quantities in Pxxx logical nodes

•  Based on results, the system initiates actions

–  No human involved in decisions
–  Well defined semantic required for interoperability

Supervision – Example STMP

•  Well defined semantic

•  Settings are standardized

Supervision – Example SIMG

•  Supervises pressure, density and temperature

•  Well defined semantic

Condition monitoring
•  Monitor the condition of equipment
–  Power transformers
–  Switchgear
–  Sensors
–  Auxiliary system (e.g. heating, cooling)
–  Power lines

•  Purpose
–  Failure detection
–  Guidance for maintenance personal
–  Condition based maintenance
–  Life time extension

Health of the system

•  Standardized data object
Health (or EEHealth) is
used by operator

•  More detailed information

•  Green: everything ok
•  Yellow: abnormality – still
safe to use equipment
may be available for the
specialist to determine the
source of the problem

•  Red: failure – unsafe to

use equipment

Principles
•  Any event can create an alarm

•  Alarm handling consists of

–  Creating group alarms
–  Creating alarm lists
–  Acknowledgment of alarms

•  Multiple practices are in use

–  Does an unacknowledged alarm disappear when the condition is
gone
–  Local acknowledgement versus remote acknowledgement

•  Standardization in IEC 61850 is currently limited

© 2015

Alarm handling in IEC 61850

•  Some alarms are standardized in the LNs; e.g.

–  EEHealth
–  PmpAlm – loss of pump in cooling group
•  LN CALH to create group alarms
•  No specifications about alarm handling
