OpenPLC is an open-source software that complies with IEC 61131-3 international standard and has been widely used by researchers to validate PLC logic execution. However, the software’s capability is limited as it is solely restricted to Modbus and DNP3 protocols. With the integration of intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) into modernized power grid based on IEC 61850 standards, it is necessary to incorporate functionalities that enable PLCs to communicate with IEDs. Therefore, in this paper we develop OpenPLC61850, which is an extended version of OpenPLC and is compatible with the IEC 61850 protocol. The architecture and the procedure involved with PLC logic execution, IED communication, and SCADA connectivity are explained in this paper. As the proposed software is also an open source, we believe that this would be helpful for researchers for conducting smart grid research.

This paper analyzes the object-oriented modeling technology of IEC 61850 standard and the modeling steps of condition monitoring intelligent electronic devices (IED). Aiming at the problem of the existing configuration tools poor scalability for the IEC 61850 standard, a new design method of the IED configuration tool is brought up. Information model of transformer condition monitoring IED is established including logical device (LD), logical node (LN), data object (DO), data attribute (DA), dataset and report control block with the method mentioned above, and described with substation configuration description language.

This paper proposes an IEC 61850-based centralized busbar differential protection scheme, in which data desynchronization between intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) leads to differential current errors. As the differential current errors could result in erroneous operation of the centralized busbar differential protection, data desynchronization should be compensated for. The main causes of data desynchronization are subdivided into measurement timing and time synchronization errors. In this paper, the first-order Lagrange interpolation polynomial is used to compensate for measurement timing errors and the voltage angle differences between IEDs are used to compensate for time synchronization errors. The centralized busbar differential protection is tested using a real-time digital simulator and IEC 61850-based IEDs, which are implemented with the MMS-EASE Lite library and Smart Grid Infrastructure Evaluation Module. The test results show that the data desynchronization compensation can significantly reduce differential current errors, and thus prevent erroneous operation of the IEC 61850-based centralized busbar differential protection.
