Description

---

"This course contains the use of artificial intelligence."
Are you looking to understand thefundamental principles and information models behind IEC 61850 and build a strong foundation for working with digital substations? This course onIEC 61850-7-1 is designed to help you understand the concepts step by step, from basic modelling principles to practical communication architecture.
IEC 61850 is much more than GOOSE, MMS, and Sampled Values. To properly understand IEC 61850-based systems, it is essential to understand how power-system functions and information are represented through standardized models and how these models support communication between IEDs and other substation automation systems.
In this course, you will explore the fundamental concepts ofIEC 61850-7-1, including virtualization, information modelling, logical devices, logical nodes, data objects, data attributes, Common Data Classes, Functional Constraints, and theAbstract Communication Service Interface (ACSI).
You will also learn how IEC 61850 defines communication services and how the abstract communication model relates to practical technologies such asMMS, GOOSE, and Sampled Values.
The course also introduces important concepts related toPICOMs, reporting, control blocks, SCL, namespaces, and information exchange. These concepts will help you understand how IEC 61850 information is structured, configured, identified, and exchanged within modern digital-substation systems.
Another important part of the course isIEC 61850 compatibility. You will learn about backward compatibility, forward compatibility, generic compatibility rules, specific compatibility rules, and how changes to the IEC 61850 information model can affect communication between different versions of devices and engineering tools.
