Abstract |
Substation Automation System is basically operating throughout communicative services among IEC 61850 based devices. So, minimum requirement in order to install the system in the substation is to verify server and client conformance of IEDs and HMIs according to the IEC 61850 standard. Even though UCA IUG issued IEC 61850 conformance test procedures for both the server and the client, Much of the test is limited to IEDs as server and there is no client-only testing tool except KEMA server test tool sets. this study aims to develop IEC 61850 client testing system for verifying the full communication conformance of the substation automation system and this paper describes the design and implementation of the testing system. |
