IEC 61850 is a standard for power utility automation. Using IEC 61850 that uses ethernet may consume more costs for the automation than its value in small distribution substations. Thus, less expense and installation cost are required for the automation of small distribution substations. This study used inexpensive and easy-to-install IEEE 802.15.4 and implemented a bridge between IEC 61850 and IEEE 802.15.4, using Raspberry Pi to connect the existing IEC 61850. Using IEEE 1588, IEC 61850 traffic performances were evaluated, such as SV, GOOSE and MMS. Analyzing IEC 61850 requirements and performance evaluation results, the scope of application of IEEE 802.15.4 was decided.

This study uses sensors and Raspberry Pi to measure the values of current and voltage and transmits the measured sampled values to a network, carrying them in the frame of IEC 61850-9-2. A laboratory model was composed to send the sampled values, using the frame of IEC 61850-9-2. This study conducted a protocol analysis, using Wireshark for the accurate verification of the occurrence of the frame of IEC 61850-9-2. A visual analysis was conducted by displaying the received sampled values of current and voltage on the monitor in graphs. In addition, this study tested if the sampled values of IEC 61850-9-2 sent and received through the network equipment would meet the performance requirements of the message types of IEC 61850.

In this paper, problems and solutions are proposed for applying IEC 61850 to Distribution Automation System(DAS). Communication protocol integration in power automation system have issued by IEC standards, IEC 61850 of them has researched for applying IEC 61850 to many areas of power system in spite of that it was made for substation automation system. Especially, DAS is just about to apply IEC 61850 by communication network change from serial to ethernet although DNP 3.0 is used. But it's impossible to apply directly IEC 61850 to DAS by difference of environment which unfixed wide area and separated nodes in power distribution system unlike concept of IEC 61850 is made by Substation Automation System(SAS) environment of limited space. Thus, this paper proposed applications of three types which conceptual, practical, and future to consider problems and solutions when apply IEC 61850 to Ethernet based DAS.

IEC 61850 based substation automation system mainly consists of human machine interface and a various of IEDs in charge of protective and control functions of the substation. Both of them should require the performance verification of IEC 61850 communication services because their communication relation is the same as client and server throughout the digital network. This paper shows a research result on the testing method of basic communication interface of the IEC 61850 based client, which was implemented by the analysis of real communication between HMI and IED of IEC 61850 based substation automation system and refereed to IED IEC 61850 conformance test procedures.

This paper presents the development of gateway for smart grid for the interoperable communication between IEC 61850 station leveled devices and one of legacy Modbus, DNP3, and IEC60870-5-101/104/103 communication protocol devices of bay level in substation or for the exchange of information between IEC 61850 substation and SCADA control center. The data-mapping model is designed for the exchange of information and the gateway configuration tool is developed for generating meta-data based on XML Schema. this paper is mostly concerned with the design and realization of gateway system for the interoperable data communication between a legacy protocol device and IEC61850 based devices or systems.

TETRA(TErrestrial Trunked RAdio) is the wireless communication system generally adopted to public network and backbone network, as the technology of Trunked Radio System specified by ETSI(European Telecommunications Standards Institute) and currently adopted to the Electric Power IT Backbone Network in Korea. IEC 61850 is the protocol proposed for SAS(Substation Automation System) of SCADA(Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) system. In this paper, IEC 61850 Server and Client simulator are used based on Linux operating system. The multi-functional gateway, which transforms the communication based on TCP/IP between IEC 61850 Server Simulator and Client Simulator to the one based on TETRA Packet Data Service, is developed such that IEC 61850 SCADA system is constructed based on TETRA.

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.

As the power grids are integrated into one big umbrella called a "smart grid," communication protocol plays a key role in successful operations. The successful deployment of smart grid interoperability is a major hurdle that must be overcome. The micro grid, a small power system that distributes energy resource, is operated in diverse regions. Different vendors use different communication protocols in the operation of the micro grid. Recently, the IEC 61850 has been legislated to solve the interoperability problems in power utility automation. The present paper presents a micro grid system based on the IEC 61850 protocol. It consists of a micro grid monitoring system, a protocol converter that transforms serial data to IEC 61850 data, and distributed energy resource controllers for diverse DER nodes. A developed communication gateway can be deployed for DER controllers with serial links to exchange data with IEC 61850-based devices. The gateway can be extended to IEC 61850-based distribution automation systems, substation automation systems, or SCADA.
