IEC 61850-90-3: Using IEC 61850 for condition monitoring diagnosis and analysis

IEC TC 57 is working on a new part of the IEC 51850 series (public available specification; draft 287 pages):

PRECD PAS 61850-90-3 ED1: Using IEC 61850 for condition monitoring diagnosis and analysis

Excerpt from introduction:

"The CMD (Condition Monitoring Diagnosis) which diagnoses power grid health status has been one of the major issues to improve the reliability of the power system by preventing a potential failure in advance. Since too many different information modelling, information exchange, and configuration techniques for CMD in various forms from many vendors are currently used, they need to be standardized within the IEC.

IEC 61850 is intended to be used to communicate with the condition monitoring equipment. A seamless communication with the sensor network is also desirable."

Here is an excerpt of the various use-cases (Power Transformer):

Some Logical Nodes for power transformer monitoring:

1. SLTC Tap-changer supervision
2. SVAM Vibroacoustic OLTC supervision
3. SDBR Dehydrating breather supervision
4. SPRD Pressure relief device supervision
5. SBHR Buchholz relay supervision
6. SDIV Diverter switch supervision
7. SFIL Insulating liquid filter supervision
8. SNPS Nitrogen preservation system supervision in this picture)
9. SMDU OLTC motor drive unit supervision
10. STRQ Supervision of OLTC torque
11. SMCI Motor current index supervision
12. SVIN Vacuum interrupter supervision
13. YLTC Tap-changer control
14. SPTR Power transformer supervision
15. SPTW Supervision of winding power transformer
16. SPTC Supervision of core power transformer
17. SIML Supervision of liquid insulation medium
18. ....

Other use cases are: 

• Switchgear
• Underground cable (UGC)
• Overhead line (OHL)
• Vibration monitoring
