Full title and description

Communication networks and systems for power utility automation - Part 90-3: Using IEC 61850 for condition monitoring diagnosis and analysis. This Technical Report describes how the IEC 61850 family of standards can be applied to condition monitoring, diagnostic data flows and information exchange with asset management systems, and addresses communication aspects for widely used sensor networks in power utility environments.

Abstract

IEC TR 61850-90-3:2016 gives application-oriented guidance for using IEC 61850 to support condition monitoring, diagnosis and analysis of power utility assets. The report reviews communication requirements, data modelling and information exchange between sensors, monitoring systems and asset management platforms, and identifies mapping options and interoperability considerations. A corrigendum (COR1) published in 2020 has been incorporated into the report.

Scope

The report addresses how to apply IEC 61850 principles and services to condition monitoring and diagnostic use-cases across power utility assets. It covers communication aspects of sensor networks commonly used for condition monitoring, recommended information models and mappings to IEC 61850 logical nodes and data objects, exchange patterns toward asset management systems, and interoperability and engineering considerations needed to integrate monitoring data into utility operational and lifecycle processes.

Key topics and requirements

• Recommended information modelling of condition monitoring and diagnostic data within the IEC 61850 framework.
• Communication requirements and transport/mapping options for sensor networks and monitoring devices.
• Guidance for exchanging monitoring data with asset management and maintenance systems.
• Interoperability, engineering and configuration considerations for integrating monitoring functions into IEC 61850-based systems.
• Examples and application scenarios illustrating typical data flows and architectures for diagnosis and analysis.
• Security, time-stamping and quality/metadata considerations relevant to monitoring and diagnostic data.

Typical use and users

Utilities, substation and asset engineers, system integrators, protection and control vendors, condition monitoring solution providers, and consultants use this Technical Report to design, specify and integrate condition monitoring and diagnostic systems using the IEC 61850 family. It is intended for those responsible for data modelling, communications architecture, asset management integration and lifecycle maintenance planning.
