A solution for applying IEC 61499 function blocks in the development of substation automation systems
This addresses the development of substation automation systems for power grid engineers, but it appears incremental as it combines existing standards without major breakthroughs.
The paper tackled the problem of modeling and implementing control applications for substation automation by integrating IEC 61499 function blocks with IEC 61850 specifications, and the result was a validated control architecture tested in a simulated fault protection scenario.
This paper presents a solution for applying IEC 61499 function blocks along with IEC 61850 specifications in modeling and implementing control applications for substations automation. The IEC 61499 artifacts are used for structuring the control logic, while the IEC 61850 concepts for communication and information exchange between the automation devices. The proposed control architecture was implemented and validated in a simple fault protection scenario with simulated power equipment.
