  • Introduction to Iec 62361-102 Cim - 61850 Harmonization
    25th International Conference on Electricity Distribution Madrid, 3-6 June 2019 Paper n° 1368 INTRODUCTION TO IEC 62361-102 CIM - 61850 HARMONIZATION Tom BERRY Schneider Electric – France [email protected] ABSTRACT TR IEC 62361-102 [1] is a Technical Specification that describes a mapping for information exchange between power system installations based on the modelling approach of IEC 61850; and business systems based on IEC CIM standard data exchanges. The document includes proposals to ‘harmonize’ the two standards by adapting or extending existing information models and/or defining new models, where such changes will enable more effective communication. This paper explains the key mapping principles and some of the recommendations for future editions of the standards. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? The smart grid initiatives in the USA, Europe and Asia Figure 1: Data models for Smart Grids Architectural have all recognized the necessity to establish solid Methodology standards for communicating between all the "smart" devices. For interoperability purposes, it has been Several studies [3] and reports [4,5] have already been recognized, at an early stage, that widely shared semantics produced on the subject of harmonization, but failed to get to describe power systems would be necessary. Power sufficient support for publication as IEC standards or systems are complex and several technical groups have technical specifications. The approach taken by the task worked on different aspects of communication. There are force was to concentrate on a fundamental use case related different needs for information exchange within different to configuration of real time communication between contexts e.g. within a substation or within control centres.

This includes addressing the quality of integrating Reduces the cost and effort for devices and systems and the discipline to improve the process of system integration successfully integrating these components as business models and Improves grid performance and information technology improve over time. Stated succinctly, efficiency interoperability is “the ability of two or more systems or components to exchange information and to use the information that has been Facilitates more comprehensive grid security and cybersecurity exchanged.”1 Reasons to invest effort in addressing interoperability practices issues are reflected in the sidebar.2 Increases customer choice and Interoperability has important economic consequences. Systems that participation integrate simply and predictably have lower equipment costs and Establishes industry-wide best lower transactions costs, higher productivity through automation, practices more conversion of data and information into insight, higher competition between technology suppliers, and increased technology Is a catalyst of innovation and application innovation.
