IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SYSTEMS, MAN, AND CYBERNETICS—PART C: APPLICATIONS AND REVIEWS 1 Distributed Power System Automation With IEC 61850, IEC 61499, and Intelligent Control

Abstract—This paper presents a new approach to power system automation, based on distributed intelligence rather than tradi-tional centralized control. The paper investigates the interplay be-tween two international standards, IEC 61850 and IEC 61499, and proposes a way of combining of the application functions of IEC 61850-compliant devices with IEC 61499-compliant “glue logic,” using the communication services of IEC 61850-7-2. The resulting ability to customize control and automation logic will greatly en-hance the flexibility and adaptability of automation systems, speed-ing progress toward the realization of the smart grid concept. Index Terms—IEC 61499, IEC 61850, power system automation, smart grid. I
