文摘This paper discusses a working definition of smartness in protection,automation and control systems(PACS)in substations.A summary is given about the standard IEC 61850 features that support smartness,i.e.,the data model,the multiple communication services,and the system configuration description language(SCL).With help of known examples of application functions for control,supervision,and protection,the building of smart systems out of the modules of IEC 61850 is demonstrated.From the possible architectures,the standardized redundancy is explained.The process bus is exploited in detail since it is seen by users as the core of a smart substation.In this context,attention is given also to the time synchronization in theµs range over the communication network,a rather new part of the standard.In the last part,all features are summarized and it is concluded that IEC 61850 may really be named the backbone for smart PAC systems.
