Objectives

Participants gain a more in-depth understanding of the IEC 61850 standard and its practical application. The training focuses on recent developments around the standard in addition to specific topics and applications for advanced users.

The OMICRON IEC 61850 testing tools are practically applied for more complex analysis and testing. Each participant can expect the exchange of engineering knowledge through detailed and practical interactions.

After completion of the course, each participant will have a comprehensive understanding of:

  • New possibilities as defined in Edition 2 of the standard
  • Related topics as time synchronization and redundancy
  • Client-Server-Communication as used for SCADA and its analysis
  • GOOSE details & analysis
  • Engineering possibilities and tools
  • Advanced testing features
  • Sampled Values for real-time communication of measured values

Each participant will perform several practical tasks. For this purpose, a substation network with CMC’s, protective IED’s and a circuit breaker simulator is engineered and tested.

  • Setting up of a basic substation network, utilizing a combination of each users own PC, CMC’s and IED’s (setting up the IP configuration of each device).
  • Extending the network
  • Performing an injection test on the protective functions of an IED connected and subscribing to the GOOSE message of the relevant IED to determine the pick-up time of the GOOSE.
  • Analysis of the GOOSE.
  • Testing and analysis of SCADA communication (report) with IEDScout
  • Additionally Sampled Values will be defined and used
