Substation
An electrical substation is a subsidiary station of an electricity generation,
transmission and distribution system where voltage is transformed from high to low
or the reverse using transformers. Electric power may flow through several
substations between generating plant and consumer, and may be changed in
voltage in several steps.

Data model - Logical Node (LN)

ABB Group
May 12, 2015 | Slide 24

Definition

An object which represent a specific function in a domain e.g

Substation automation, Hydro Power plant etc

A named grouping of data and associated services that is logically

related to a function.

Smallest part of a function that exchanges data.

Logical node classes are defined in IEC 61850 7-4

4 letters are used for defining the logical node class e.g. STMP, XCBR

First letter represents the function group which belongs to e.g. in STMP, S
denote is logical node for a supervising function

A logical node type is created out of classes by adding prefix and

instance number as suffix e.g CNSCSTMP1

Performance requirement Continued
Type 1A Trip
The trip is the most important fast message in the substation. Therefore, this
message has more demanding requirements compared to all other fast
messages. Same performance may be requested for interlocking, intertrips and
logic discrimination between protection functions.

May 12, 2015 | Slide 44

IEC 61850
Performance requirement Continued
Type 1B Others
All other fast messages are important for the interaction of the automation
system with the process but have less demanding requirements compared to
the trip. The performance for automation functions are typically between the
response time of operators (order of 1 000 ms) and of protection (order of 10
ms). This performance is also valid for such messages between a substations
automation systems and other local systems.

The goal of the IEC 61850 standard
Interoperability

The ability for IEDs from one or several manufacturer

to exchange information and use the information for the
their own functions.

Free Configuration The standard shall support different philosophies and

allow a free allocation of functions e.g. Can work in a
centralized architecture as well as distributed
architecture
Long Term Stability The standard shall be future proof, i.e. it must be able
to follow the progress in communication technology as
well as evolving system requirements.
