Mapping Iec 61850 Scl To Opc Ua For Smart Grid Applications

The Smart Grid is characterized by a decentralized management and dynamic electric network infrastructures. One of the main requirements for Smart Grid development is large-scale integration of very different power grid actors. The international standard IEC 61850 has been recognized as a solution enabling this integration. Harmonization based on IEC 61850 in the context of Smart Grid does not involve, at this moment, the engineering process. In this paper, the authors propose to harmonize engineering process for Smart Grid environment considering IEC 61850 and OPC UA integration.
