This presentation demonstrates how IEC 61850 enables progressive Opex/Capex optimization through a long term asset management strategy to reduce total cost of ownership, provide evidence for regulators and assist in investment plans. By replacing manual engineering of asset performance management systems with automatic processing ensures full consistency with real assets, thus leading to better decision-making.

Some learning example
Cope with More Data & Data Exchanges
●Communication network is no longer a
barrier to exchange more data that
creates more value for the system
●With systems becoming larger, i.e.
beyond a single substation
●Bottlenecks shall be handled at
different levels
●Data reception, especially for Goose
proper handling
●Engineering tools (design & tests) with
lead time increase and probability for
frequent update due to data increase
●System architecture to cope with the
progressive evolutions
Metcalfe’s Law
Goose performance

5. Schneider Electric 5- Division - Name – Date
Some learning examples
New Design Phases are Needed
●Design the logical architecture (data
flows possibly with multiple protocols) in
addition to the physical architecture (list of
products communicating over a network)
●Assess the performances (reaction
time, dependability) early enough to build
the right architecture, including
redundancies and proxies
●Anticipate the evolutions (new peer,
change of version, etc) to build robust
automation algorithm, also enabling the
progressive migration from the existing
system

6. Schneider Electric 6- Division - Name – Date
Some processes and tools evolutions for
the testing efficiency improvement
●Minimize manual engineering all along the
system lifecycle
●Leverage the data semantic through the
execution of rules
●Formalize the requirements at an early stage of
the project
●Virtualize the system before any real
installation and tests
●Enable remote actions
●Set up an Asset Performance Management

Beyond the basic use of IEC 61850
●IEC 61850 has been very much
used for its communication
services: Goose, Reports, etc. with
a lot of focus on servers (i.e. Goose
performance)
●The unprecedented engineering
chain capabilities (SCD, ICD, etc.)
as well as the communication
infrastructure (PRP/HSR) have
also been discussed
●The full usage of the in-built data
model semantic is however often
under-utilized
●This is an area bringing value to a true
system approach through smart clients

8. Schneider Electric 8- Division - Name – Date
What are the Smart Clients
Clients use spatial & temporal rules to create value
out of the data semantic
in order to reduce manual interactions
(and thus cost and non quality –
cf. 30% of manual errors in setting)

9. Schneider Electric 9- Division - Name – Date
SLD in paper Pattern identification
SSD file (XML) Topology identification
Automatic Database Filling:
pattern recognition
Single Line Diagrams have
always a
graphical representation
(and sometimes an SSD
supplied by modern CAD
tools)
Pattern recognition translates
graphical semantic into logical
node semantic
This is done at device or bay
level

Conclusion
●IEC 61850 is a journey enabler for the Opex/Capex
progressive optimization
●The technology plays a key role, and some improvements
are still on-going
●Identifying application roadmaps and revisiting the
processes are equally important
