“…As a result from the above discussion and from the increased demand to overcome the lack and the limitation of the existing (IED, system) configuration tools [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] (based on the IEC61850 extending standardizing concept include the protection and setting level), a platform of simple network Vendor-Natural configuration tool had been invented in which that can be used to design and configure different vendors' instruments and systems. Vendor-Natural configuration tool provides an answer to a real end-user need.…”

“…However, those projects are trivial they facing some big challenges based on the configuration of the IEDs and the AS using different vendors' proprietary configuration tools to achieve a seamless communication system network among the multi-vendor IEDs. Moreover projects in [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] had been identified that the major challenges facing the implementation of the IEC 61850 standard within a multi-vendor IEDs and the most costly, efforts and consuming-time process are the configurations of the IEDs based on the existing AS configuration process in order to reach a smooth communication and gain the interoperability. They are commonly believed that the reasons for these challenges are the open nature of the IEC 61850 standard gives wide range of freedom for the vendors to operate with.…”

The wide acceptance of the IEC61850 standard had been raised it to the focusing research interesting area both from the academic and industry sides. This paper describes the methodology and enhancement that can be achieved by implementing the Vendor-Natural configuration tool (based on the IEC61850 extending standardizing concept include the protection and setting level) within a communicative and cooperative environment (multi-vendor Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED)s, Electrical nods) in which that can be combined together emerging to smart grid (SG). The Vendor-Natural configuration tool provides a simple cost-effective solution for multi-vendor (IEDs, nodes) integration. Several benefits can be achieved based on providing simple seamless communication between the multivendor (IEDs, nodes), overcoming of the lack and the limitation of the vendors' proprietary (IED, System) configuration tools and also relax the automation system (AS) configuration tasks.

“…The first multi-vendor project experimentation of this protocol has been brought with successful integration of the ABB, GE and Siemens IEDs with the SCADA Gateway (Siemens SICAM PAS) just since 2006 in the United States [19]. A last application on this protocol has been realized in the Woodhead Tunnel forming part of National Grid's (NGET) 400kV transmission system running across the Pennines.…”

In electrical power systems smart grid is widely recognized as the new solution that must be developed to manage distributed network tackling the increment of renewable energies. Through monitoring capability, data integration, effective communication, advanced analysis and system control the smart grid can meet the power demand as well as increase total efficiency and reduce consumption and costs. Many different technologies must converge to create a smart grid as a storage systems utilized as an energy buffer, telecommunication systems that can exchange data with sensors and actuators, advanced control systems that monitor the power grid and manage energy flows in real time. This paper reviews the state of the art of present application of these technologies in smart grids. The specific focus of the work is on telecommunication systems to have a monitoring through last smart metering application. The impacts and benefits of real time controls are investigated to improve the power efficiency, security and quality. © 2013 IEEE

“…Large scale stations which represent interoperability have been, for the most part, a part of research activities. The first IEC61850 based protection and control, multi-vendor project in the United States has been implemented in Bradley 500 kV Substation [12]. Published in 2007, this paper expresses that engineers from different disciplines have worked on this project since late 2004 and early 2005.…”

For instance, utilization of buffered and unbuffered reports was an issue since one relay only supported unbuffered reports.…”

Due to the recent changes in electrical networks, microgrid operation schemes have evolved dramatically. Coupled with smartgrid concepts, microgrids are required to be more intelligent and establish communication with its components. In order to sustain reliable and sustainable power delivery under heavy deployments of Distributed Generators (DGs), passive power network operation schemes have to be replaced with new generation dynamic methods. Utilization of communication in microgrids brings about new challenges such as communication reliability, time delays, plug-and-play and standardization considerations. Having a standard communication procedure has utmost importance in a network where there are different equipments manufactured by different vendors and having different features. IEC61850 substation communication standard has been introduced by International ElectrotechnicalCommission (IEC) to address this challenge. It has received much attention in power engineering circles and several pilot projects have been implemented. As a result, it has been found out that several concepts such as interoperability and interchangeability have to be considered in networks designed with IEC communication standards. This paper summarizes the latest developments in this field and discusses the required steps that shall be taken to unleash capabilities of microgrids in current smart network era.
