The paper discusses the protocols for automating power substations, emphasizing the need for interoperability among various Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) utilized in power systems. Various protocols such as Modbus, DNP3, and IEC 60870 are analyzed for their functionalities and limitations in the context of power distribution reliability. The paper highlights the development of communication standards, particularly IEC 61850, aimed at enhancing the compatibility and efficiency of automation processes within substations.

In the realm of substation automation (SA), communication infrastructure plays a vital role in mediating between physical and virtual worlds of substation. Specification of data exchanges through standardized communication stacks is therefore an important issue for all substation equipment manufacturers seeking to provide vendor interoperability. Nowadays competitive electric utility marketplace, reliable and real-time information become the key factor for reliable delivery of power to the endusers, profitability of the electric utility and customer satisfaction. The operational and commercial demands of electric utilities require a high-performance data communication network that supports both existing functionalities and future operational requirements. As communication arena is changing day by day, the need for efficient and reliable communication infrastructure to address SA is evident. In this respect, a communication network constitutes the core of the SA, thus the design of cost-effective and reliable network architecture is a crucial task. Most of the existing communication networks claim to address the need of communication architecture for SA but in some regard these claims just could not fulfill the constraints imposed by highly available environment for SA. This paper presents a survey and analysis of the current state-of-the-art communication infrastructure in the SA. As Ethernet technology becomes more reliable and also widely available with fiber optical communication so this paper also examines the key issues and requirements for Ethernet in the substation environment and also opens some research challenges.

Review of the Legacy and Future of IEC 61850 Protocols Encompassing Substation Automation System
shantanu kumar

Electronics

Communication protocols play a pivotal role in the substation automation system as they carry critical information related to asset control, automation, protection, and monitoring. Substation legacy protocols run the assets’ bulk data on multiple wires over long distances. These data packets pass through multiple nodes, which makes the identification of the location and type of various malfunctions a challenging and time-consuming task. As downtime of substations is of high importance from a regulatory and compliance point of view, utilities are motivated to revisit the overall scheme and redesign a new system that features flexibility, adaptability, interoperability, and high accuracy. This paper presents a comprehensive review of various legacy protocols and highlights the path forward for a new protocol laid down as per the IEC 61850 standard. The IEC 61850 protocol is expected to be user-friendly, employ fiber optics instead of conventional copper wires, facilitate the applicati...

Smart Grid Communication Protocols
Sahana Kulkarni

International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development, 2019

Present power grids are getting replaced by smart grids, mainly for improving performance of existing power grid. Integration of electrical, electronics and computer science have led this technology more popular. Smart grid technology is characterized by full duplex communication, automatic metering infrastructure, renewable energy integration, distribution automation and complete monitoring and control of entire power grid. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are small micro electrical mechanical systems that are deployed to collect and communicate the data from surroundings. Security of wireless sensor based communication network is a major concern for researchers and developers. The address oriented design and development approach for usual communication network requires a paradigm shift to design data oriented WSN architecture. This paper is presents different communication protocols used in smart grid technology.

Communication Protocols and Networks for Power Systems - Current Status and Future Trends
Salman Mohagheghi

Proceedings of IEEE Power System Conference and Exposition, 2009

Minimizing implementation time and manual configuration, as well as straightforward upgradability are the key requirements of efficient substation automation systems. For larger utilities this often necessitates achieving interoperability between different devices from multiple vendors. Since the early 1990's it was noticed that the speed of advances in communication technology seemed to overpass its power system counterpart, which called for more adaptability by substation automation systems and higher independence from the underlying communication technology. The natural shift in the industry from proprietary communication protocols to open access standards was therefore further accelerated and was directed towards more advanced solutions that provide an interoperable and future proof environment. In order to be able to respond to these concerns, IEC 61850 was proposed as a future proof, adaptable communication protocol, capable of providing interoperability in a multi-vendor environment and with a highly advanced object oriented modeling structure. The migration from legacy protocols and de facto standards such as Modbus, DNP3, and IEC 60870-5 has already started and it seems likely that it will continue at a steady pace in the future. In addition to the efforts to provide an advanced solution for substation automation systems, there is also a need for extending the "automation" benefits to beyond the substations either downstream, at the feeder level or upstream, at a higher level of network management. The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the current status of communication networks for substations using IEC 61850, and also discuss the possible future trends for extending the scope of the standard and using its capabilities for other applications within the distribution system.

IEC61850: a Lingua Franca for Substation Automation Systems
IJTRS Journal

The last few years has seen numerous studies pointing to the IEC61850 as a worthwhile international standard for substation automation systems. The standard incorporates the use of logical nodes to resolve problems related to interoperability and interchangeability in multi-vendor zone substation systems. The standard also initiated a cost-effective Generic Object Oriented Substation Event (GOOSE) messaging technology to replace the traditional copper wiring. This paper provides a synopsis of communication protocols and their development over the time. The authors elucidate core elements of telemetry communications, structures of protocols and the significance of standards for communication protocols within substation automation systems. This paper aims to endorse and publicise the IEC61850 protocol as the latest and improved communication standard opposed to other substation protocols like DNP and Modbus.
