Are you looking to understand the fundamental principles and information models behind IEC 61850 and build a strong foundation for working with digital substations? This course on IEC 61850-7-1 is designed to help you understand the concepts step by step, from basic modelling principles to practical communication architecture. IEC 61850 is much more than GOOSE, MMS, and Sampled Values. To properly understand IEC 61850-based systems, it is essential to understand how power-system functions and information are represented through standardized models and how these models support communication between IEDs and other substation automation systems.
In this course, you will explore the fundamental concepts of IEC 61850-7-1, including virtualization, information modelling, logical devices, logical nodes, data objects, data attributes, Common Data Classes, Functional Constraints, and the Abstract Communication Service Interface (ACSI). You will also learn how IEC 61850 defines communication services and how the abstract communication model relates to practical technologies such as MMS, GOOSE, and Sampled Values.
