2005년 IEC61850 국제표준규약이 제정된 이후, IEC61850 기반의 변전소 자동화에 대한 관심과 연구가 급증하고 있다. 현재 해외 선진사들에 의한 다양한 제품들이 출시되고 있으며 유럽시장을 중심으로 적용사례가 확대되고 있는 추세이다. 그러나, 변전소 자동화의 새로운 패러다임으로써 IEC61850이 채택됨에 따라 기존에 설치되어 운영중인 시스템과의 호환성에 문제가 발생하게 된다. 이 논문에서는 IEC6180 기반의 변전소 자동화 시스템 구축을 위한 게이트웨이 시스템을 설계하고 구현하였다. 제안된 시스템은 서로 상이한 프로토콜을 사용하는 변전소 내부의 IEC61850 호환 IED와 원격 제어센터의 SCADA 시스템 간 계측/상태/제어 데이터의 교환을 지원한다.

An electric vehicle (EV) not only receives electric power from the electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), but it also exchanges the information regarding charging process with the power gird through the EVSE. However, the EV and EVSE communicate using the ISO/IEC 15118 standard while the EVSE and power grid communicate using the IEC 61850 standard. Therefore, the EVSE should support both the ISO/IEC 15118 and IEC 61850 standards, and provide a data mapping function between the two communication protocols so that the EV and power grid, which support different protocols, can communicate with each other throughout the charging process. In this paper, we propose a mapping method of the EVSE, which converts the ISO/IEC 15118 data to IEC 61850 and vice versa, based on the XML schema of each protocol. The proposed method converts the data using the XSL (eXtensible Stylesheet Language) method, which defines the data mapping between two XML schemas. Our approach is more flexible and easier to maintain against changes in charging scenarios and the standards than other existing approaches such as one-to-one data mapping methods.

In order to complete engineering works of the digital substation, Both Data transmission among a variety of IEDs and HMIs, and single line diagram of the substation might be done based on XML documents published in IEC 61850 international standards. This kind of XML based engineering process for the digital substation must be implemented not by manual written work but by the engineering tool using a computer. But most of the engineering tools do not support system based engineering works such as single line diagram of the substation but have only function to set IEDs as single device unit. Accordingly, this paper presents a new design method of the system based engineering description applicable to real IEC 61850 based substation through analyzing the current international standard and its sampled engineering file, and shows implementation of the engineering tool of the digital substation with the result of this study.

IEC 61850 is a protocol used to reduce the cost of design, installation and maintenance of the Substation Automation System. GOOSE traffic used in IEC 61850 plays an important role for control, protection and automation of the substation. This study implemented a GOOSE traffic generator using the emulation function of NS-3 network simulator, by using protocols provided by a network simulator and another protocols provided by real communication equipment. The generated GOOSE traffic was analyzed with Wireshark, and it was found that the traffic was generated exactly as expected. Besides, this study measured the GOOSE traffic delay due to the increase of the number of switches according to network topology. It is expected that the GOOSE traffic generator implemented by this study will be efficiently used when experiments are performed on actual substation environments.

2013년 이후, 한국전력공사에서는 신규건설 변전소로 디지털변전소(Digital Substation)를 건설하고 있다. 디지털변전소 내에는 서버(IED, 지능형전자장치), 클라이언트(상위운영시스템)가 필수요소들이며, 이 둘은 서로 서버/클라이언트 통신 서비스를 수행하고 있고 IEC61850 기반으로 하고 있다. 바뀐 정책과 프로토콜 때문에 사용되는 기기 역시 기존 디지털 보호 계전기에서 IED로 성능이 변화하였고, 기존에 수행하던 보호성능검증 방법인 동특성시험 역시 IEC61850 기반 통신서비스 성능도 함께 보아야 한다는 관점에서 본 연구가 시작되었다. 본 논문에서는 RTDS를 이용한 IEC 61850 기반 IED 동특성 시험 성능검증 방법에 대하여 살펴보고, 그 결과를 알아보고자 한다.

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.

Korea Electric Power Research Institute in charge of the power IT project "Development of Prototype for Advanced Substation Automation System based on the Digital Control Technology" is performing system verification. Breaker Failure protection IED can operate protection activity by communicating with other IEDs such as T/L IED, owing to IEC 61850 international standard and digital substation automation system. Accordingly, IED testing process should be changed from the conventional way by electrical contact test on individual IED to system based testing method by network communication. This paper describes how to test BF IED based on substation automation system and testing procedures using UML, which is used to implement S/W design.
