Currently, the new substation automation uses the international standard IEC 61850 communication protocol. KEPCO is also constructing a new substation based on IEC 61850 from 2013 through the pilot application and research and development starting from 2007. However, there are few cases where existing substations(Transformer, T/L GIS, D/L GIS, etc.) have been used, and RTU based substations operating systems have been changed to SA substations based on IEC 61850. Therefore, the introduction of IEC 61850 in existing substation facilities has the advantage of enhancing the substantiality of the substation by reusing existing facilities, improving the interoperability with the latest substations introduced, and converting existing substations into systems suitable for unmanned operation. In this paper, we introduce a case of changing the existing RTU based substation operation system to digital substation using IEC 61850 field information processor, Ethernet switch and SA operation system. Also, IEC 61850 client authentication program and Wireshark, which is a packet analysis tool, verify IEC 61850 conformance and its feasibility.

The IT project for power plants initiated domestically in 2005 necessitates the power equipment facility and the controllers for those to be sufficiently adaptable for automation system for power substations. This implies that the power plants using power equipments must be developed to satisfy the IEC61850 standards. The IEC61850 communication standards that all power equipment and facility and controllers installed in automation system for power substations must follow has had its Parts 3 and Part 4 established as international standard in January 2002 and Part 10 in May 2005, the last to become international standard. Hence all separate parts of the original IEC61850 standard came to be established as international standards. As a consequence, after 2005, in most power substations around the world the IEC61850 standard is being applied and the prominent makers are geared towards manufacturing products to the IEC61850 standard. The IEC61850 is being recognized as an essential standard that must be applied to not only power substations but for automation of power systems and communication systems. In this research, the Gateway device that connects current SCADA system and IEC61580 based system has been domesticated with Korea‘s own technology and extensive testing was carried out in order to obtain confidence in its performance.

The DNP3.0 and the IEC61850 are the most important standards in the SCADA systems for the power. Each standard has strength and weakness, so they will coexist for a while. This paper presents a design of the gateway function between DNP3.0 and IEC61850. Both standards use object-oriented modelling methods, so, they have some similarities. However, the DNP3.0 objects are described by object number and index, and the IEC61850 objects are described by name. So there should be mapping function between the object number and index of DNP3.0 objects and the object name of IEC61850 objects. We analyse the communication profiles of both standards, and shows the service-primitive mapping table and the procedure of the gateway function.

This paper proposes normal behavior profiling methods for anomaly detection in IEC 61850 based substation network. Signature based security solutions, currently used primarily, are inadequate for APT attack using zero-day vulnerabilities. Recently, some researches about anomaly detection in control network are ongoing. However, there are no published result for IEC 61850 substation network. Our proposed methods includes 3-phase preprocessing for MMS/GOOSE packets and normal behavior profiling using one-class SVM algorithm. These approaches are beneficial to detect APT attacks on IEC 61850 substation network.

Recently, IEC 61850 supports the standardized communication technique in both station bus and process bus, and presents substation automation model. In order to implement the IEC 61850 based communication in a substation using the MU (merging unit) which is one of the important data acquisition equipments in substation automation, the time synchronization is demanded for cooperative operation between the devices. This paper proposes the precision time synchronization technique using IRIG-B protocol to develop the MU under IEC 61850 communication protocol. The proposed technique is implemented and its performance is verified experimentally.

TTCN-3(Testing & Test Control Notation Version 3) is the international standard testing language defined by ETSI in 2001. TTCN-3 is generally used for protocol conformance test, but it is also possible to be applied to the platform and API tests based on CORBA. Moreover, it can be also applied to the various testings such as interworking testing, repetition testing, platform testing, etc. IEC 61850 is the protocol proposed for SAS(Substation Automation System) of SCADA(Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) system. In this paper, a IEC 61850 interoperability Tester based TTCN-3 is developed under the Window environment. IEC 61850 Server Simulator of Linux operating system is used as SUT(System Under Test). Conformance testing items in this paper are the Positive test case_Srv5 of "Server, Logical device, Logical node, and data model" in the testing group of "IEC 61850 - Part10" document.

The IEC 61850 communication standard is used worldwide, and within the country the new substation is built as a digital substation based on IEC 61850 from 2013, after field tests and R&D from 2007. Research on the development of digital substation operating system has been conducted mainly in large domestic companies, so the IED power application equipment for LCP are developed. However, there is still a lack of research in the field of systems that can accommodate all the field devices used for legacy substation and new digital substation. In this paper, we developed the 48VDC input modules and the 125VDC output modules which can construct proposed field information processing modules to IEC 61850 based type, and verified the field applicability from the state monitoring and control operation tests by using IEC 61850 client authentication program and Wireshark.

IEC 61850 기반의 디지털 변전소를 구축하기 위해서는 가장 중요하고 고려해야 하는 것은 IED의 통신서비스를 이용한 기능 구현이 국제 규격인 IEC 61850에 따라 적합하게 이루어 졌는지를 확인 사항이다. 하지만 변압기 Tap의 위치정보를 정수형의 데이터로 표현하는 지능형전자장치의 IEC 61850 변압기 Tap Changer의 제어에 대한 적합성 시험에 대한 내용 및 방법은 현재 국제 IEC 61850 적합성 시험에서는 포함하고 있지 않으며, 이를 실제 수행할 수 있는 시험장치도 존재하지 않는 상황이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 변전자동화시스템에 적용되는 지능형 전자장치의 Tap Changer 기능이 IEC 61850 통신서비스를 통해 이루어질 경우 이에 대한 국제규격을 기반으로 하는 적합성 시험을 수행할 수 있는 방안에 대한 설명하고자 한다.

Recently, IEC61850 supports the standardized communication technique in both station bus and process bus, and presents the substation automation model. In this paper, we propose the required techniques to develop the Merging Unit (MU), which is one of the important data acquisition equipment in substation automation, under IEC61850 communication protocol. Especially, we also propose the precision time synchronization technique using GPS(Global Positioning System) for the MU. IEC61850-9-2 SV (Sampled Value) service is applied to the MU which is designed using microprocessor. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed MU, the playback program, which can reconstruct the transmitted sampled value data on the basis of time information, is developed and the performance of the IEC61850 SV service for MU is verified experimentally.

IEC 61850 기반의 변전소 자동화용 IED를 구현함에 있어서 IEC 61850 통신을 위한 IED의 통신부와 계전기능을 위한 보호계전부의 mapping은 중요한 부분이다. 물론 통신부와 보호계를 통합하여 구성할 수도 있지만 통신부와 보호계전부가 분리된 형태의 IED에서는 데이터 mapping의 방법이 필요하다. 보호계전부와 통신부가 분리된 토B의 경우, 보호계선 데이터를 IEC 61850데이터 형으로 적용하기 위해서는 데이터 형의 변화와 데이터의 연산 과정등의 mapping이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 IEC 61850에서 표준으로 제시하는 CID(Configured IED Description)파일을 이용하여 보호계전부와 IEC 61850 통신부 사이의 데이터들의 mapping 방법과 동적 연산 방법을 제시하고 제시된 방법에 따른 결과물을 보여준다.
