Communication networks and systems for power utility automation - Part 5: Communication requirements for functions and device models
IEC 61850-5:2013 applies to power utility automation systems with the core part of substation automation systems (SAS); it standardizes the communication between intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) and defines the related system requirements to be supported. The major technical changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows:
- extension from substation automation systems to utility automation systems;
- inclusion of interfaces for communication between substations;
- requirements from communication beyond the boundary of the substation.
Réseaux et systèmes de communication pour l'automatisation des systèmes électriques - Partie 5: Exigences de communication pour les modèles de fonctions et d'appareils
La CEI 61850-5:2013 s'applique aux systèmes d'automatisation des systèmes électriques avec la partie de base des systèmes d'automatisation de poste. Elle normalise les communications entre les appareils électroniques intelligents ainsi que les exigences concernant les systèmes associés. Les principales modifications techniques par rapport à l'édition précédente sont les suivantes:
- extension de l'automatisation de poste aux systèmes d'automatisation des systèmes électriques;
- inclusion des interfaces de communication entre postes;
- exigences en matière de communication au-delà de la limite du poste.
