What is PD IEC/TR 61850‑7‑500 - Communication networks and structure about?
PD IEC/TR 61850‑7‑500 is an international standard that focuses on communication networks and systems for power utility automation.
PD IEC/TR 61850‑7‑500 is a technical report, that describes the use of the information model for devices and functions of IEC 61850 in applications in substation automation systems. It is also useful as informative input for the modelling of any other application domain.
PD IEC/TR 61850‑7‑500 describes the use of compatible logical node names and data objects names for communication between Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED) for use cases. This includes the relationship between Logical Nodes and Data Objects for the given use cases.
PD IEC/TR 61850‑7‑500 describes in examples the use of logical nodes for application functions in substation automation, including line protection between substations. It also implies some tutorial material where helpful.
Who is PD IEC/TR 61850‑7‑500 - Communication networks and structure for?
PD IEC/TR 61850‑7‑500 on Communication networks and structure is useful for:
- Electrical and electronics engineers
- Mass media/ telecommunication industry
- Telecommunication engineers and technicians
- Installers and service providers for Communication networks
Why should you use PD IEC/TR 61850‑7‑500 -Communication networks and structure?
IEC 61850 series defines Communication Networks and Systems for Power Utility Automation, and more specifically the communication architecture for subsystems like substation automation systems. The sum of all subsystems may also result in the description of the communication architecture for the overall power system management.
PD IEC/TR 61850‑7‑500, which is a technical report, shows the use of Logical Nodes as defined in IEC 61850-7-4 for application functions in the substation domain. The defined architecture provides you with both a power utility-specific data model and a substation domain-specific data model with abstract definitions of data objects classes and services independently from the specific protocol stacks, implementations, and operating systems.
The goal of PD IEC/TR 61850‑7‑500 is to show the most common application of Logical Nodes in modelling simple and complex application functions, to improve common understanding in modelling and data exchange in general, and finally to stimulate implementations, which support in any case interoperability.
