Abstract:
The standard IEC61850 is the first standard that considers all the communication needs within a substation. The main goal of this standard is to support interoperability of IEDs, to allow IEDs from different manufacturers to operate on the same network sharing information and commands.
This thesis discusses challenges for implementing the new communication architecture of IEC61850. The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate how an IEC 61850 source code application running at station level can be configured to acquire data from IED installed at bay level.
Within this scope, a laboratory setup has been developed for experimental practice of IEC 61850 using a communication stack depends on open source library (PIS 10). An Ethernet communication based on server /client architecture was used to exchange monitoring and control information among developed IEC61850 server and a commercial client.
Combined with the implementation, this thesis giving a realization method for protocol conversion (or mapping) using a programming techniques to integrate between Modbus master and IEC61850 server.
As a result of that a traffic generation systems for IEC 61850 MMS message has been achieved which will help in evaluation of the data acquisition, data integration and data distribution between the various devices use this standard in Smart Grid systems.
