Background

The on going work within WG B5.11 – The Introduction of IEC61850 and its Impact on Protection and Control within Substations indicates the need of specific definitions on how to perform and evaluate the results of functional tests of IEC61850 based systems. Such evaluations are beyond the WG B5.11 scope and time schedule.

Scope

WG B5.32 shall report on how functional testing shall be performed in IEC61850 based systems. The report shall cover functional testing from IEDs to overall systems.

Six main areas shall be focused:

  1. Functional testing of IEC61850 based systems

  2. Distributed application testing

  3. Overall system testing

  4. Use of SCL (Substation Configuration Language) for the testing

  5. Functional test system requirements and definitions

  6. Functional testing considerations to be taken into account in the specification

Conformance (type and interoperability) testing of IEC61850 based systems (and IEDs) will not be focused as they are already covered by module 10 of IEC61850. All IEDs will be assumed to conform to this standard.
