IEC 61850 Station Bus
Flexible Ethernet Topologies
The most common basic architectures are explained below. In
practice one of the described topologies or a combination of
them might be used.
The chosen network topology for the IEC 61850 station
bus is adapted to best suit the given physical location
of the IEDs considering distances and number of IEDs
concentrated in one place.
Centralized ring
Station level
Ethernet features
− − Large switches in station cubicle
− − High-speed Gigabit backbone
−− Redundant power supply (option)
Applications
−− Short bay IED-to-station distance
− − Few IEDs per cubicle/compartment
Decentralized ring
Station level
Ethernet features
− − Switches in bay and station cubicle
− − Choice of large and small switches
−− 100 Mbit/s or 1 Gbit/s backbone
Applications
−− Long bay IED-to-station distance
− − Many IEDs per cubicle/kiosk

Distributed Functionality
ABB’s system design is fully distributed. The time-critical
information exchange applies to the bay level only.
How to use IEC 61850 for time-critical information exchange
There are several automated functions in the substation
automation system, which require a time-critical exchange of
information between functions located within the same bay or
in different bays.
Examples:
• Exchange between line protection and autorecloser
• Exchange between bays for breaker-failure protection
• Exchange between bays for station interlocking
• DR triggering by protection functions
Generic Object Oriented Substation Event
For the exchange of this type of (binary) information via serial
communication, IEC 61850 introduces a specific information
exchange service called GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented
Substation Event) based on the publisher-subscriber concept.
The content of a GOOSE message is defined with a dataset.
The GOOSE message is sent as a multicast message via the
communication network. This means that various devices can
receive the message and retrieve the required information from
it. The communication service is not confirmed; instead, the
message is repeated several times.
Station-wide interlocking
A typical example is the exchange of information between logical devices for station interlocking. Each IED distributes the
required switch positions via GOOSE telegram via the station
bus and also receives switch positions from other feeders.
Therefore, each IED has access to all the information needed
to verify the station-wide interlocking conditions.
