Interoperability testing and analysis tools provide a means for achieving and assuring the integrity of multivendor intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) data exchanges. However, the testing and analysis are very time consuming and error prone, and these problems worsen when a substation becomes large and complex during the engineering process, commission, replacement, maintenance, and extension. To address this challenge, this paper presents a virtual digital substation test system (VDSTS) with interoperability analysis tools for assessing and identifying the engineering challenges for the multiple-vendors digital substation. This VDSTS consists of three parts: (i) A virtual digital substation modelling for generating real-time digital substation primary plant operation and fault conditions, (ii) a standard IEC 61850-based substation protection, automation, and control (PAC) system architecture with multivendor IEDs and bay solutions, and (iii) multivendor Substation Configuration description Language (SCL) tools and in-house built data visualisation tool. The study focuses on the interoperability testing of sampled values (SV), generic object-oriented substation events (GOOSE), and manufacturing message specification (MMS) communication services, as defined in IEC 61850. The main issues identified are compatibility issues of SCL tools, protocol implementation issues, different information models, and application limitations. The outcomes will help utilities to reduce the risks associated with the general rollout of digital substations.

The advancement in technologies applied on substation studies are leading towards substation automation systems (SAS). In SAS network interoperability of substation devices is an important factor that needs good media of communication. IEC 61850 protocol has a greater role in device communications and protection functions of an integrated system. Also this standard can address the problem of interoperability of devices from various vendors. With the implementation of IEC 61850 standards in SAS networks, integration of latest devices like, intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), analog merging units (AMUs) and Ethernet networks are becoming possible. IEC 61850 standards will upgrade a conventional substation model into Digital Substation providing IEDs and modern substation devices are getting installed. In this paper IEC 61850 standard with its various operational levels have been studied for basic understanding of the protocol. A digital substation model with operational architecture has been shown and its various process bus communication messages have been discussed. To establish the concept of interoperability of subsation devices in a substaion model, a digital substation laboratory model has been developed here with IEC 61850 standard implementation. Real time analysis of protection functions with process bus communications of the substation model have been executed. The study of IEC 61850 standard and digital substation with its real time hardware test results will give the reader a clear idea about digital substations, substation devices interoperability operations and protection functions. This implementation and application of IEC standards in substation communication and protection functions can get used effectively in future for testing some other network topology.

To meet the requirements of smart substations for digital information, integrated functions and compact structure, the definitions of merging units in IEC 60044-8 and IEC 61850-9-1/2 were analyzed. Based on the analysis, this paper described a realization of merging units used in the electronic transformers. The hardware and software architectures of merging unit were proposed. According to the design, the merging unit realizes synchronization of sampling pulse, receiving and processing of sampled values, and data transmission. An additional function of phasor measurement was included, which makes it a synthesized device between the process level and the bay level of the digital substation. The data packets were captured and analyzed by Wireshark, corresponding with IEC 61850-9-2, which demonstrates the high flexibility and utility value of the merging unit.
