61850 where are we today
Today 61850 projects are being implemented more in
new installations, or when major rework is performed
in a substation.
The goal is to integrate new equipment in legacy
substations without having to plan a major rework of
the substation.
 The usage of the process bus has not evolved very
much in the last two years, utilities are performing
extensive lab tests in regards to using this
technology.
 GOOSE messaging is still in its beginning in regards
to being used for inter-relay interlocking and tripping.

What is being delivered today
 Today we are seeing more vendor centric
implementations, that is using the vendor of 61850
tools with its own equipment with limited usage of
other vendors relays because of interoperability
between the vendors high level tools.
 Currents uses reside in the use of 61850 bay
controllers integrating the information and control at
the bay level with a number a relays providing the
protection functions.

The standardization process
 Over the years we have all developed detailed
standards that have been in use for more than 30
years.
 Now we have to adapt these standards to changing
times:
 How do we go forward without losing what we
have developed and put into service?
5
The standardization process
(cont’d)
 We have to have new tools that will allow-us to
bring all our standards and engineering work
procedures to become a seamless part of the
61850 work environment when working with
older installations.
 These new tools must provide the link between
our legacy systems and our future systems in a
manner that will provide financial sense to go
forward with the new radical change that 61850
is bringing to our industry.
6
Integrating the new with the old
 For the integration we require these new tools to
easily create a means to correlate information from
older system designs into an integrated 61850
framework.
 This integration will require planning at the
standardisation process to ensure that the new tools
at a higher level of the substation properly integrate
numerous types of legacy systems within a 61850
integrated platform while still properly allowing
planning for process bus and handling of GOOSE
messages.
New tools required for working
in this environment
 The evolution of these tools will start at the overall
planned 61850 main console, some of the
characteristics should be:
 Capability to integrate the creation of the HMI pages,
alarming and event screens required by users.
 Capability to easily import previous legacy device
configurations and make them a seamless part of the
whole engineering definition process.
 Should have the possibility to be completely vendor
independent, i.e. to work with any vendors equipment
current and of the legacy type.
 Should provide a means to easily create either fully
redundant systems or capable of providing an X & Y
parallel protection scheme system without any other
major work required.

Conclusions
 We have come a long way, 61850 is currently being
used more and more especially when new
substations are being implemented.
 We still need to have a better integration when
having to integrate our engineering work in older
substations having a large number of legacy IEDs.
 The new tools must ensure us of complete vendor
interoperability at all levels (do the work only once)
no matter what type of equipment is selected.
