IEC TC 57 Proposes New Work on SCD Based Substation Network Auto-Routing

IEC TC 57 Proposes New Work on SCD Based Substation Network Auto-Routing:

57/1987/DC

Proposal to develop IEC TR 61850-90-22 –
Communication networks and systems for power utility automation –
Part 90-22: SCD based substation network auto-routing with visualization and supervision support

"The scope of the proposed TR is to provide a comprehensive analysis of increased challenges encountered in the field where substation network is adopted, and to propose a novel resolution which is SCD based substation network auto-routing with visualization and supervision."

The following issues are key: Network topology auto-discovery, IED auto-detection, GOOSE/SV auto-routing, QoS and traffic engineering, Redundant path and fast recovery, Traffic validation, policing and shaping, Network resource virtualization, ...

I am happy to see that this draft proposal as been published - it will implement what I have been said for years in my seminars: SCD documents are containing a lot more than just Logical Nodes ... more to come. Stay tuned.
