IEC 61850 Reporting in-depth course

In this lecture we learn the difference between spontaneous and polling data transmission, structure of the reporting mechanism. We also learn difference between buffered and unbuffered reporting. Role of triggers in data transmission with reports.

In this lecture we provide detailed analysis of report control block structure. We go through each and every attribute, including trigger options, optional fields, entry id and etc. We take a closer look on transmission of measurements and deadband configuration. Having studied this part of the course, you will be able to configure reports with a great level of confidence.

In this lecture you will learn how SCL (System Configuration Language) is used for configuration of reports. You will learn how datasets and report control blocks are described using SCL. You will also learn how to identify configuration capabilities of reporting mechanism using Services section, described in SCL.

In this lecture you will learn how report control block attributes and relevant communication services are mapped onto MMS protocol.

In this lecture we will give you examples of report control blocks configuration and how the transmission of reports looks like with this example configurations. With this knowledge you will be able to analyze report transmissions using Wireshark to troubleshoot data transmission to control systems (RTUs, SCADA and etc.).

This lecture provides general recommendations on configuring reports, including scenarios for transmission of measurements and status information.

In this lecture we provide you with the examples of grid operator requirements on application of reporting mechanism.
