Abstract


IEC 61850 is a standard protocol for communications within the substation system. In order to realize a functional complement and satisfy the expansion of its application in smart grids, modifications of its first edition are presented as the second edition of IEC 61850 of which the application area has been extended outwards substations, and all respects of power utility automation are covered. IEC 61850 has gradually served as a significant basic standard in the construction of smart grid and evolved into a huge technology system. This paper firstly analyzes the modified technical features of IEC 61850 Ed 2.0. And then the research and development of its application are also provided to gain an all-round understanding of the up-to-date utilization of this standard. Finally, the prospects of its application in smart grid are given.
