IEC 61850 environments: What to test?

New possibility for protection test with SCADA
assessment signals.

Test Universe: Client / Server

Why Client/Server testing?

> Does my SCADA
communication work?
> Set the IED to mode
(test test/blocked off on on/blocked)
> Are the reports to SCADA system issued?
> Embedded into protection testing template. Preparation of the test &
assesment
> What is happening in the data model of the IED?
Your benefits

> Testing the SCADA communication in protection systems

> Handling the modes (test test/blocked off on on/blocked)
> Preparation of the test & assessment automatically
> New possibilities: using the entire data model for protection testing

Technical realization

> IEC 61850 Client/Server Module offers a lot of new use cases
> Test Universe communicates directly with the IED

Step 1: set IED

Set to Mode after reading

Enable reports for SCADA communication

Step 2: define faults and expected results

Fault values

Expected values in data model

© OMICRON Page 9
Usage of IED‘s information for testing

• Fault values
• Direction information
• Earth fault
• Measurement values
• Tap changers
• .....

End: reset IED

Reset back to
the original values

Time Signal View

Visualizing the details of event (e.g. reports)

© OMICRON Page 12
Assesment and view in Client/Server monitor

Asses the data automatically (Report received)

More details can be added to Test Report

New philosophy for Digital Substation test

© OMICRON 14 March 2017

Background: IEC 61850 testing old vs. new

© OMICRON Page 16
Solution: Test Mode

> Testing of every logical node like PROTECTION.PDIS1

> Testing of every logical device like PROTECTION
> More than a simple „Test mode“:
> on; on/blocked; test; test/ blocked; off

invalid
invalid
on
on-blocked
test Incoming data
Incoming signal processed as valid
test-blocked
off
valid

Simulation indication with GOOSE and Sampled Values

> How to distinguish between “real” signals and simulated one?

> Sets the entire IED (“physical device”) in simulation mode LPHD.Sim = True

IED GoID=1 GoID=1 CMC

Simulation = FALSE Simulation = TRUE

Subscribe GoID=1
LPHD.Sim = FALSE
IED LPHD.Sim = TRUE

New capabilies with IEDScout
IEDScout

Graphical-Intuitive

Self-describing
IEDScout key features

> Easy and powerful

> Descriptive IEC61850 names (you do no need memorize the meaning of LN)
> Extract of relevant services: find the reports, goose, datasets, files, settings groups
within datamodel
> Friendly data monitoring: easy data interpretation
> Highly commented communication transaction sniffing
> Easy filter for goose retransmission
> Data model association between sniffing and browsing
> IED simulation
> Useful for SCADA test without physical IED
> Creation of virtual substation in the Lab
> Network IEC61850 traffic generation
> New features IEDScout 4.2
> File transfer: Only one tool for download oscillography files from different IED brands
> Settings groups: enable the possibility for change protection setting or change
between different settings groups
