IEC Standards for the Integration of Wind Energy and Photovoltaic
Dr. Kai Strübbe, Head of Embedded Systems, TÜV SÜD AG, presented some crucial aspects of the Integration of renewable power into the Smart Grids at the Hanover Fair 2012:
The Integration of Wind Energy and Photovoltaic into a Smart Grid
Hannover Messe, 24 April 2012
According to the figures shown in the presentation there are more than 1,000,000 low voltage substations in Germany – most of them are not yet controllable! It’s a huge market.
He said that “IEC 61850 Will Be the Esparanto of the Smart Grid” – Right. IEC 61850 (IEC 61400-25) is a language that is already spoken in the medium and high voltage networks – the huge low voltage domain is next!
There is a huge interest in learning this language and easy to use IEC 61850 hardware and software shown during the fair in Hanover. The crucial questions were on how to implement the standards in a short time to market. SystemCorp and TQ had the right answer.

By the way, there are still seats available for the next 3 day public IEC 61850 training in Frankfurt (Germany) from 09–11 May 2012.

Famous Visitors at the TQ/SystemCorp Booth at Hanover Fair 2012
Reinhard Bütikofer (Member of the EU Parliament) and Ludwig Karg (E-Energy) visited the TQ/SystemCorp booth C45 in Hall 13 on Wednesday (2012-04-25). They discussed the future of Smart Grids (under the headline of IEC 61850 and IEC 61850 embedded controllers from TQ):
Detlef Raddatz and Pritam Munot (both from SystemCorp, Perth Western Australia) have explained the benefits of IEC 61850 stack and API integrated on TQ embedded controllers (ARM 9 and ARM 11) – these products help to “Get Smart Quick”:

IEC 62351-10 – Security architecture guidelines
A new key draft document on Security has been published by IEC:
IEC 62351-10 TR Ed.1:
Power systems management and associated information exchange –
Data and communications security – Part 10: Security architecture guidelines
Ballot closes on 2012-06-22; ask your IEC National Committee for a copy.
Cyber security becomes more and more a basic requirement in power control systems as standard IT and other forms of modern communication technology are being increasingly used for control and supervision of these systems. The application of IT communication technology requires the consideration of already existing vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by potential attackers, as
recent intentional and unintentional cyber incidents on SCADA and other industrial control systems have shown. The increasing number of control system cyber incidents world-wide with medium to high impact underlines the requirement for appropriate security measures.
The draft document targets the description of security architecture guidelines for power systems based on essential security controls, i.e., on security-related components and functions and their interaction.
Furthermore, the relation and mapping of these security controls to the general system architecture of power systems is provided as guideline to support system integrators to securely deploy power generation, transmission, and distribution systems applying available standards.
The main clause is:
4. MAPPING SECURITY CONTROLS TO THE TC57 ARCHITECTURE
4.1 SECURITY DOMAINS WITHIN A GENERIC POWER SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
4.2 APPLICATION OF SECURITY CONTROLS TO A GENERIC POWER SYSTE ARCHITECTURE
4.3 APPLICATION OF SECURITY CONTROLS TO SPECIFIC POWER SYSTEM SCENARIOS
4.3.1 Substation Automation
4.3.2 Control Center – Substation Communication
4.3.3 Advanced Metering
4.4 IDENTIFIED GAPS
See the list of all parts of the series IEC 61351:
It is HIGHLY recommended to ALL stakeholders in the energy industry to keep an close eye on the security issues!!

IEC 61850 ready for VHP-Ready (Virtual Heat and Power Ready)
Vattenfall Europe New Energy GmbH and Vattenfall Europe Wärme AG seem to be ahead of many other utilities in implementing “virtual Power Plants”. They have set a standard on how to use renewable energy in a virtual power plant. The information exchange is realized with two IEC TC 57 standards: IEC 60870-5-104 (Fernwirktechnik) and IEC 61850-7-420 (DER).
Vattenfall is one of the leaders of the implementation of virtual power plants. The concept is called: VHP READY – Virtual Heat & Power Ready.
Their objective is by end of 2012 to provide their services to 150.000 housing units (with some 500 CHP or heat pumps) communicating with a Vattenfall control center. By 2013 they expect some 1,000 CHP or heat pumps providing heat and electric power to some 200.000 housing with an electric capacity of 200 MW.
The requirements document lists a total number of signals of 40:
- 8 binary status signals,
- 17 measurements and calculated values,
- 5 metered values, and
- 10 control points.
Requirements document referring to IEC 60870-5-104 and IEC 61850 can be downloaded [German, pdf, 23 pages, 360 KB]

Vattenfall virtuelles Kraftwerk
Several other projects are under way in Germany to implement a similar approach. In one project there is already a plan to define (and possibly standardize) a specific profile (subset) of IEC 61850-7-420. Such a profile would represent the above some 40 signals – a very simple set of models that could easily be implemented in an IEC 61850 IED like the Beck IPC IEC 61850 com.tom:
