IEC 61850-6: Configuration Language for Communication in Electrical Substations is an essential part of the IEC 61850 standard for engineers involved in the design, engineering, configuration, integration, testing, and commissioning of modern substation automation systems. This course provides a clear and structured understanding of IEC 61850-6 and Substation Configuration Language (SCL). You will learn how SCL provides a standardized method for describing substation automation systems, intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), communication networks, and their configuration.
The course explains the role of SCL throughout the substation engineering lifecycle, including system specification, IED configuration, system integration, configuration exchange, and final system implementation. You will learn how different configuration files are used to represent different stages and requirements of an IEC 61850 project. You will explore important concepts such as SCL structure, substation descriptions, communication configurations, IED descriptions, logical nodes, data models, communication services, and configuration information. The course also introduces the relationship between system-level engineering and individual IED configuration.
