What is PD IEC TS 61400‑25‑71- Wind energy generation systems about?
PD IEC TS 61400 is a standard that discusses wind energy generation systems’ management and associated information exchange.
PS IEC TS 61400-25 series covers the communications between wind power plant components such as wind turbines and actors such as SCADA systems.
PD IEC TS 61400‑25‑71 is one of the parts of a series of documents that specifies how to extend the IEC 61400-25 series with the IEC 618506 Substation Configuration description Language (SCL) file format for describing communication-related Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) configurations of a wind turbine, wind power plant controller, meteorological mast, etc. The extension of SCL to the wind domain is intended to simplify the integration of wind power plant equipment for clients, as well as their integration to the electrical system.
Who is PD IEC TS 61400‑25‑71- Wind energy generation systems for?
PD IEC TS 61400‑25‑71 on wind energy generation systems is relevant to:
- Wind energy generation systems
- Wind power stations that adopt SCADA systems
- Software engineers
- Transmission system operators (TSOs)
- Distribution system operators (DSOs)
- Environmental research bodies
- Certification and regulatory bodies
Why should you use PD IEC TS 61400‑25‑71- Wind energy generation systems?
The adoption of SCL allows formalised tool-based exchange of IED parameters, communication system configurations, switch yard (function) structures, as well as description of the relations between them.
PD IEC TS 61400‑25‑71 guidelines help you efficiently exchange wind turbine and wind power plant IED capability descriptions, and system descriptions between IED engineering tools and the system engineering tool(s) of different manufacturers in a compatible way. PD IEC TS 61400‑25‑71 is also intended to provide report configuration and alarms as well as HMI interface information from a wind power plant. This information can be used to engineer overlying SCADA systems for the site, for connected DSO, or TSO, or for fleet operators' maintenance and surveillance systems. Finally, the SCL is intended as a documentation of the configuration and topology of the delivered system.
With the use of standardized configurations, PD IEC TS 61400‑25‑71 can assist you in improving communication within wind energy generation systems.
