Abstract
Abstract
Engineering these days embracing numerous benefits to utilities. It is clearly the most
dynamic and exciting new development in the substation industry with the ultimate goal
of efficiently managing operations, maintenance and capital assets with minimal human
intervention [1-4]. Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs), which are Instrumentation &
Control (I&C) devices built using microprocessors, are the most important elements of a
Substation IED networking requires the ability to remotely control, manipulate and
monitor newly connected devices through the use of an effective communication system
used to link various IEDs in a substation. The existence of a wide variety of vendor
used for the communication between devices had previously stopped utilities from
achieving a fully integrated and interoperable SA system. The idea of standardising the
language of communication between IEDs has evolved as the key for the advancement
technologies. IEC 61850, the main topic of discussion in this thesis, is such a standard

Abstract
developed by the IEC Technical Committee (TC) 57. It describes how devices are to
support for all substation functions and their engineering with the use of OO data and
service models [5]. However, it has only been abstractly modelled meaning that it
focuses on describing what the OO models are indented to provide rather than how they
are built. Consequently, the IEC 61850 standard can only be operational when mapped

The primary objective of this research is the OO implementation of the IEC 61850
Object and Service Models (OSMs) as concrete programs based on their published
definitions, hence transforming the IEC 61850 standard into a solid protocol. An

well as the middleware itself [6-7]. This thesis describes the design and implementation
Middleware (MOM) category and considers the fact that communicating entities may

processor as well as to test and evaluate the performance of the middleware architecture
Time synchronisation, which involves synchronisation of the date and time of all
devices in a network, is another key topic discussed in this thesis. Time synchronisation
is crucial in time-sensitive substation applications and its importance has been clearly
integration of the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) and its applications into the
Ultimately, the development of a gateway capability that permits for the testing and
evaluation of the designed components over a real network is described. The designed
and implemented “Hardware in the Loop” (HITL) capability mainly provides the
necessary interface between the real Ethernet network and the simulation environment
