Abstract

IEC61850 which has comes to international standard for substation automation is designed with a station and process bus communication with Ethernet. In this paper, mentioning difference between official networks and substation networks, authors present the requirements for temperature, humidity and EMI characteristics. The properties which network switch should be satisfied and the technologies which make those requirements possible are also proposed. Additionally, we analysis the traffic pattern of communication services which IEC61850 supports. Based on the pattern, we propose a practical design example of IEC61850 based network for a 154kV substation.
