SAS Engineering Process According to Standard IEC 61850
Evelio Padilla · 2015
The substation automation system (SAS) engineering process, as defined by Standard IEC 61850, is the kingdom of computer files and programming tools. The IEC 61850–6 establishes a set of files under the rules of the Substation Configuration Language (SCL), which is based on eXtensible Markup Language (XML) that defines a set of principles for encoding documents in a format that is both human and machine-readable. The Standard also establishes a group of engineering tools for creating/handling those SCL files. Depending on the purpose of specific SCL file, it is classified into one of the following types: IED capability description (ICD) file, system specification description (SSD) file, substation configuration description (SCD) file, configured IED description (CID) file, instantiated IED description (IID) file, and system exchange description (SED) file.
