INTEROPERABILITY ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT EQUIPMENT FOLLOWING THE IEC 61850 REQUIREMENTS
One of the most important inputs for the sanitation industry is the electricity used in Water Treatment Stations (ETA) and Sewage Treatment Stations (ETE). Energy consumption is quite high and these plants are often supplied with high power, sometimes requiring the construction of large power substations at subtransmission voltage levels (34.5 or 138kV). In general, in older electrical substations, the design of the command, control and protection system is analogical with electromechanical relays and all the interlocking and protection logic are done in copper wiring. On the other hand, in more recent substations, the protection devices are already electronic with greater dependence on network elements, such as switches, fiber optics, Ethernet network, among others. Therefore, it is necessary to use more modern communication protocols and command, control and protection schemes described and standardized in the IEC 61850 Standard. In the quest to optimize, simplify and increase the performance and reliability of substation networks, the international standard IEC 61850 becomes essential as it adopts standardized communication protocols and delimits the minimum hardware requirements for devices used in electrical substations (standard IEC 61850 -3). In this sense, the present work proposed a qualitative analysis of a substation of the Environmental Sanitation Company of the Federal District (CAESB) with the verification of points of vulnerability in data security (Cyber Security), performance of the data network and validation of requirements foreseen in Norm 61850. After carrying out the proposed analysis, a study was carried out on the data obtained from the proposed configuration scenarios. It is worth noting that most of the results obtained were very close to the results found in the various applications carried out in the laboratory and also in the bibliography.
