Introduction to IEC 61850
Introduction to IEC 61850
In the early 1990s, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE) began to define a
Utility Communications Architecture (UCA). They initially focused on inter-
control center and substation-to-control center communications and produced
the Inter-Control Center Communications Protocol (ICCP) specification. This
specification, later adopted by the IEC as 60870-6 TASE.2, became the
standard protocol for real-time exchange of data between databases.
In 1994, EPRI and IEEE began work on UCA 2.0 for Field Devices (simply
referred to as UCA2). In 1997, they combined efforts with Technical
Committee 57 of the IEC to create a common international standard. Their
joint efforts created the current IEC 61850 standard.
The IEC 61850 standard, a superset of UCA2, contains most of the UCA2
specification, plus additional functionality. The standard describes client/
server and peer-to-peer communications, substation design and configuration,
testing, and project standards. The IEC 61850 standard consists of the parts
listed in Table F.1.
