Section 2: IEC61850 Substation Configuration
2.1 Application Example
The following example will demonstrate the process of implementing an ARC Fault Protection scheme using
IEC61850 Goose messaging in conjunction with other IEC61850 equipped IEDs.
The example will comprise of a RA24 Arc Fault Monitor used in conjunction with Reyrolle 7SR22 Argus
relays with IEC61850 communications and implemented with the Reydisp Manager Productivity tool
embedded with the optional Digsi System configurator.
A similar process is equally applicable to IEC61850 equipped IEDs from alternative vendors and alternative
System Configuration tools.
The steps to implement our Application Example are :
Create an IEC61850 project in a System configurator
Populate the project with the Application IEDs
Populate the project with the RA24 IEDs using the default RA24 icd file
Populate the project with the IEC61850 Substation
Using the System Configurator configure the desired IP addressing of the subnet containing all of the
application IEDs
With the System Configurator create the GOOSE applications with the associated GOOSE linkages between
the source IED logical nodes (in the case of the RA24 : SARCs) and the subscribing IED (in our example we
use GGIO)
With all GOOSE mapping complete create a .cid file for the RA24 using the export facility in the System
Configurator
FTP the 1S24 .cid file into the RA24
Reboot the RA24 to invoke the GOOSE mapping
Create the subscribing relay application logic that will make use of the status changes in the subscribed
GOOSE messages from the RA24
Send the relay configurations as well as IEC 61850 to the respective subscribing IEDs in the application
