NXD-Based SCL File Management and Dynamic Implementation in IEDs

Abstract:

In IEC61850 substation automation systems (SASs), substation configuration description language (SCL) is suggested to assure seamless information exchange among various intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) from different manufacturers in the form of unambiguous and standardized XML. In the paper, native XML database (NXD) is proposed to store and manage SCL files since NXD takes advantage over XML enabled database (XED) in maintaining information integrity that is the most important factor of SCL file management. And the detailed process of SCL file dynamic implementation in IEDs is demonstrated. According to information with different communication real-time requirements, configuration information from SCL files will be extracted in advance or only when the information is used. Finally, a testbed built by open source software Libxml2 under Linux system verifies the effectiveness of SCL file information extraction using Xpath.
