We developed a SCADA server as a prototype to evaluate the applicability of IEC 61850 for the operation of largescale photovoltaic (PV) generation systems. IEC 61850 and Webservice technology (IEC 61400-25-4) are applied to the data model and the server communication protocol. We also developed a test client for the conformance test, which was then executed. The result showed that the server conformed to IEC 61850 on the data model and protocol. Therefore, the applicability of IEC 61850 to the operation of a large-scale photovoltaic (PV) generation system is confirmed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
