IEC TC 57 Publishes Draft for Basic Application Profiles (BAPs)

IEC TC 57 just published Draft for Basic Application Profiles (BAPs):

Development of IEC TR 61850-7-6 (57/1946/DC):
Communication networks and systems for power utility automation
Part 7-6: Guideline for definition of Basic Application Profiles (BAPs) using IEC 61850

Different types are possible:

1. User profile –defined subset that is valid for a specific user / community of users (e.g. utility)
2. Domain profile - defined subset for a specific domain and relevant use cases (e.g. asset management)
3. Basic Application Profile (BAP) – standardized subset defining an atomic application function (e.g. reverse blocking)
4. Application profile - profile covering a specific application mostly based by aggregating BAPs e.g. busbar protection)
5. Device profile – profile covering a typical IED functionality e.g. Merging Unit, IEC 61869-9)
6. Product profile – implemented subset in a specific vendor product
