The OCIS - Project

Project goals Assist the standardization process to reach one

world-wide standard IEC 61850 Assist the harmonization process between IEC

61850 and UCA.2 Test and compare original IEC 61850 and

UCA.2 drafts with respect to feasibility, applicability and efficiency

Test the independence of IEC 61850 from the communication stack (Verify the basic communication architecture)

Project duration The project started in 1998 and terminated with

a conference in 2000

Summary of results

The communication concepts as defined in IEC 61850 drafts fulfill the requirements of substation communication

The object model of UCA needs extensions to be applicable by the European market

Ethernet is suitable as station bus IEC 61850 based applications are independent from the

communication stack and therefore future proof IEC 61850 provides interoperability between devices

from multiple vendors

Summary of results

The GOOSE concept is suitable to transmit trip signals over a serial communication

The use of the configuration language to configure the GOOSE message facilitates interoperability between devices from multiple vendors

With the demonstration at the UCA user group meeting, an important milestone towards a global standard was reached

Summary of results

The point - to - point link connecting non conventional instrumental transformers according to IEC 61850-9-1 is ready to be used and will be supported in future by ABB and SIEMENS

Communication links supporting IEC 61850-9-1 may be connected with an Ethernet switch implementing a first step of a process bus solution.
