This paper presents the guideline for enhancing the reliability and availability of SAS with IEC 61850 based IEDs in real power system. The IEC 61850 standard communication networks and systems allow utilities to consider new designs for substations applicable both new substation and refurbishments. The existing solutions are based on hardwired interface between the primary substation equipment and the secondary protection, monitoring, control and recording devices. All over the world, lots of projects at different stages of realization have been reported during the last year leading to a rapid maturation of the associated technologies. At present, IEC 61850 is becoming a popular communication standard for the substation automation system.

A distance relay scheme is commonly used for backup protection. This scheme, called a step distance protection, is comprised of 3 steps for graded zones having different operating time. As for the conventional step distance protection scheme, Zone 2 can exceed the ordinary coverage excessively in case of a transformer protection relay especially. In this case, there can be overlapped protection area from a backup protection relay and, therefore, malfunctions can occur when any fault occurs in the overlapped protection area. Distance relays and overcurrent relays are used for backup protection generally, and both relays have normally this problem, the maloperation, caused by a fault in the overlapped protection area. Corresponding to an IEEE standard, this problem can be solved with the modification of the operating time. On the other hand, in Korea, zones are modified to cope with this problem in some specific conditions. These two methods may not be obvious to handle this problem correctly because these methods, modifying the common rules, can cause another coordination problem. To overcome this problem clearly, this paper describes an improved backup protection coordination scheme using an IEC 61850-based distance relay for transformer backup protection. IEC 61850-based IED(Intelligent Electronic Device) and the network system based on the kernel 2.6 LINUX are realized to verify the proposed method. And laboratory tests to estimate the communication time show that the proposed coordination method is reliable enough for the improved backup protection scheme.

대규모 전력산업의 지속적인 성장을 위해서는 전력계통 시스템의 고신뢰도를 필수적으로 요구하며 따라서 계통운영 전반에 디지털과 자동화 기술 기반의 고도의 기술 필요성이 날로 증대되고 있다. 그 결과 변전소 자동화 구축을 위한 세계 표준 규격인 IEC 61850이 제정되었으며 2005년 전체적인 세부 사항이 확립되어 발표되었다. 이러한 세계적인 추세에 발맞추어 한국전력공사는 변전소 내에 설치되는 상위 장치인 변전소 운전용 컴퓨터, 하위 장치인 센서들(변류기, 변성기 등)과 제어기(차단기 등), 그리고 상위 장치와 하위 장치 사이에서 감시, 진단, 보호, 제어, 계측, 보안 방재 등을 담당하는 장치(IED Intelligent Electronic Device)들을 기존의 다심 구리 케이블 대신 고속 LAN 케이블로 연결하여 데이터 전송 및 제어명령 전송에 사용하는 통신에 IEC 61850 단일 프로토콜을 사용함으로서 변전소 건설과 운전, 유지보수의 효율성과 신뢰성을 향상시킴과 동시에 변전소 운영에 필요한 정보의 가용성을 극대화시킬 수 있는 기반을 구축하기 위한 기술을 개발 중에 있다.

The CMD(Condition Monitoring & Diagnosis) System is used to monitor and analyze the PD(Partial Discharge), Arc, Temperature, Pressure, Gas in Oil and so on for reliability and availability of the substation. Although this system comes into the spotlight as the forecast and management of the failure and fault, there are some problems. For example, the unified standard was not defined, and the effective management of the layed communication network does not performed, limitation of physical space, etc. To resolve above problems, this paper suggests the IEC61850 compatible eCMD system architecture for monitoring and analyzing the CMD factor in substations. The suggested eCMD system consists of CMD-LU(Condition Monitoring & Diagnosis-Local Unit), IED(Intelligent Electronic Device), and engineering centers. The IEC61850 is the international standard that defines communication networks and system in substation.
