BS PD IEC/TR 61850-80-3:2015, which is a technical report, describes the requirements and gives anoverview of the technical solution for using Web Protocols as a new communication mapping(SCSM) for the IEC 61850 standard.NOTE The notion of Web Protocols covers here the Web Services technologies, extended by other well deployedtechnologies based on standards used in the IT domain (IETF, ISO, W3C, OASIS, etc.). The advantage is that dueto a lot of professional knowledge and practical experiences in the IT world the risk of non-interoperable solutionsin the smart grid domain will decrease.The structure of this part of IEC 61850 illustrates a two-step approach:

• Collection of the use cases and requirements based upon emerging Smart Gridarchitectural considerations, taking into account the new extended scope of IEC 61850.Clause 6 proposes a synthesis of the global requirements, while the use cases of thevarious domains are described in Annex A. The considered domains are:
  • PV-inverters
  • Hydro and thermal generation
  • Wind power plants
  • Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
  • Smart customers
  • E-Mobility
  • Virtual Power Plants (VPP) and micro grids
  • Feeder automation
• Evaluation and selection of technologies in order to build a consistent SCSM. Clause 7presents the future SCSM 8-2, including an overview of the main selected technology:XMPP. The following goals have been particularly considered for the definition of thisSCSM:
  • Identify a single profile supporting all the services required by the domains and definedtoday in ACSI.
  • Cover the full life cycle of a IEC 61850 system, in collaboration with the SystemManagement work in WG10 (from configuration, through conformance testing, down tomaintenance). For this purpose, this part of IEC 61850 may recommend some changesto other parts of the IEC 61850 series such as Parts 6 and 10, etc.
  • Deploy cyber-security to ensure a secure environment (in compliance with theIEC 62351 series).
  • Propose rules for cohabitation with other mappings such as IEC 61850-8-1 andIEC 61850-9-2, and possibly recommend communication profiles depending on specificapplication context (pole-top equipment, inside DER, connection of DER, etc.).
  • Only the A-Profile is addressed here. Nevertheless, support of TCP/IP and UDP/IP isrequired for the T-Profiles.
