Wind turbines -- Part 25-1: Communications for monitoring and control of wind power plants - Overall description of principles and models

The focus of the IEC 61400-25 series is on the communications between wind power plant components such as wind turbines and actors such as SCADA Systems. Internal communication within wind power plant components is beyond the scope of the IEC 61400-25 series. The IEC 61400-25 series is designed for a communication environment supported by a clientserver model. Three areas are defined, that are modelled separately to ensure the scalability of implementations: 1) wind power plant information models, 2) information exchange model, and 3) mapping of these two models to a standard communication profile. The wind power plant information model and the information exchange model, viewed together, constitute an interface between client and server. In this conjunction, the wind power plant information model serves as an interpretation frame for accessible wind power plant data. The wind power plant information model is used by the server to offer the client a uniform, component-oriented view of the wind power plant data. The information exchange model reflects the whole active functionality of the server. The IEC 61400-25 series enables connectivity between a heterogeneous combination of client and servers from different manufacturers and suppliers. As depicted in Figure 1, the IEC 61400-25 series defines a server with the following aspects: - information provided by a wind power plant component, for example, 'wind turbine rotor speed' or 'total power production of a certain time interval' is modelled and made available for access. The information modelled in the IEC 61400-25 series is defined in IEC 61400- 25-2. - services to exchange values of the modelled information defined in IEC 61400-25-3. - mapping to a communication profile, providing a protocol stack to carry the exchanged values from the modelled information (IEC 61400-25-4). The IEC 61400-25 series only defines how to model the information, information exchange and mapping to specific communication protocols. The IEC 61400-25 series excludes a definition of how and where to implement the communication interface, the application program interface and implementation recommendations. However, the objective of the IEC 61400-25 series is that the information associated with a single wind power plant component (such as a wind turbine) is accessible through a corresponding logical device. IEC 61400-25-1 gives an overall description of the principles and models used in the IEC 61400-25 series of standards. NOTE The IEC 61400-25 series focuses on the common, non-vendor-specific information. Those information items that tend to vary greatly between vendor-specific implementations can for example be specified in bilateral agreements, in user groups, or in amendments to the IEC.

FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 61400-25-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 88: Wind turbines.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 88/274/FDIS 88/280/RVD

61400-25-1 © IEC:2006(E) – 5 – INTRODUCTION The IEC 61400-25 series addresses vendors (manufacturers, suppliers), operators, owners, planners, and designers of wind power plants as well as system integrators and utility companies operating in the wind energy market. The IEC 61400-25 series is intended to be accepted and to be used world-wide as the international standard for communications in the domain of wind power plants. The IEC 61400-25 series has been developed in order to provide a uniform communications basis for the monitoring and control of wind power plants. It defines wind power plant specific information, the mechanisms for information exchange and the mapping to communication protocols. In this regard, the IEC 61400-25 series defines details required to exchange the available information with wind power plant components in a manufacturer-independent environment. This is done by definitions made in this part of the IEC 61400-25 series or by reference to other standards. The wind power plant specific information describes the crucial and common process and configuration information. The information is hierarchically structured and covers for example common information found in the rotor, generator, converter, grid connection and the like. The information may be simple data (including timestamp and quality) and configuration values or more comprehensive attributes and descriptive information, for example engineering unit, scale, description, reference, statistical or historical information. All information of a wind power plant defined in the IEC 61400-25 series is name tagged. A concise meaning of each data is given. The standardised wind power plant information can be extended by means of a name space extension rule. All data, attributes and descriptive information can be exchanged by corresponding services. The implementation of the IEC 61400-25 series allows SCADA systems (supervisory control and data acquisition) to communicate with wind turbines from multiple vendors. The standardised self-description (contained either in a XML file or retrieved online from a device) can be used to configure SCADA applications. Standardisation of SCADA applications are excluded in the IEC 61400-25 series but standardised common wind turbine information provides means for re-use of applications and operator screens for wind turbines from different vendors. From a utility perspective unified definitions of common data minimise conversion and re-calculation of data values for evaluation and comparison of all their wind power plants. The IEC 61400-25 series can be applied to any wind power plant operation concept, i.e. both individual wind turbines, clusters and more integrated groups of wind turbines. The application area of the IEC 61400-25 series covers components required for the operation of wind power plants, i.e. not only the wind turbine generator, but also the meteorological system, the electrical system, and the wind power plant management system. The wind power plant specific information in the IEC 61400-25 series excludes information associated with feeders and substations. Substation communication is covered within the IEC 61850 series of standards. The intention of the IEC 61400-25 series is to enable components from different vendors to communicate with other components, at any location. Object-oriented data structures can make the engineering and handling of large amounts of information provided by wind power plants less time-consuming and more efficient. The IEC 61400-25 series supports scalability, connectivity, and interoperability. The IEC 61400-25 series is a basis for simplifying the contracting of the roles the wind turbine and SCADA systems have to play. The crucial part of the wind power plant information, the information exchange methods, and the communication stacks are standardised. They build a basis to which procurement specifications and contracts could easily refer. The IEC 61400-25 series is organised in several parts. IEC 61400-25-1 offers an introductory orientation, crucial requirements, and a modelling guide.



– 6 – 61400-25-1 © IEC:2006(E) NOTE 1 Performance of the IEC 61400-25 series implementations are application specific. The IEC 61400-25 series does not guarantee a certain level of performance. This is beyond the scope of the IEC 61400-25 series. However, there is no underlying limitation in the communications technology to prevent high speed application (millisecond level responses). NOTE 2 IEC 61400-25-4 is, at the time of the publication of IEC 61400-25-1 (this part), still to be published. With IEC 61400-25-4 the mapping of the information and information exchange models to a specific communication profile will be described/defined in detail. IEC 61400-25-4 may consist of more than one normative mapping but at least one of the optional mappings has to be selected in order to be in conformance with the IEC 61400-25 series. IEC 61400-25-4 is expected to include the following mappings: Webservices IEC 61850-8-1 MMS OPC XML DA IEC 60870-5-104 DNP3 Each of the different mappings specifies individually which and how information models (IEC 61400-25-2) and information exchange models (IEC 61400-25-3) will be supported. The mapping will only reflect the information model and the information exchange services given in IEC 61400-25-2 and IEC 61400-25-3. The individual selected mapping will as a minimum support the mandatory data and data attributes, and the associated services. A specific mapping may, for implementation reasons or due to underlying properties of the communication protocol used, need to extend and clarify individual information or individual services in IEC 61400-25-2 and
IEC 61400-25-3. IEC 61400-25-4 will in this sense have the highest priority of the ranking order in regards of implementation.

1 Scope The focus of the IEC 61400-25 series is on the communications between wind power plant components such as wind turbines and actors such as SCADA Systems. Internal communication within wind power plant components is beyond the scope of the IEC 61400-25 series. The IEC 61400-25 series is designed for a communication environment supported by a client-server model. Three areas are defined, that are modelled separately to ensure the scalability of implementations:
1) wind power plant information models,
2) information exchange model, and
3) mapping of these two models to a standard communication profile.
The wind power plant information model and the information exchange model, viewed together, constitute an interface between client and server. In this conjunction, the wind power plant information model serves as an interpretation frame for accessible wind power plant data. The wind power plant information model is used by the server to offer the client a uniform, component-oriented view of the wind power plant data. The information exchange model reflects the whole active functionality of the server. The IEC 61400-25 series enables connectivity between a heterogeneous combination of client and servers from different manufacturers and suppliers. As depicted in Figure 1, the IEC 61400-25 series defines a server with the following aspects: – information provided by a wind power plant component, for example, ‘wind turbine rotor speed’ or ‘total power production of a certain time interval’ is modelled and made available for access. The information modelled in the IEC 61400-25 series is defined in IEC 61400-25-2. – services to exchange values of the modelled information defined in IEC 61400-25-3. – mapping to a communication profile, providing a protocol stack to carry the exchanged values from the modelled information (IEC 61400-25-4). The IEC 61400-25 series only defines how to model the information, information exchange and mapping to specific communication protocols. The IEC 61400-25 series excludes a definition of how and where to implement the communication interface, the application program interface and implementation recommendations. However, the objective of the IEC 61400-25 series is that the information associated with a single wind power plant component (such as a wind turbine) is accessible through a corresponding logical device. IEC 61400-25-1 gives an overall description of the principles and models used in the
IEC 61400-25 series of standards. NOTE The IEC 61400-25 series focuses on the common, non-vendor-specific information. Those information items that tend to vary greatly between vendor-specific implementations can for example be specified in bilateral agreements, in user groups, or in amendments to the IEC 61400-25 series.

11 FOREWORD
12 1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organisation for standardisation comprising
13 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
14 international co-operation on all questions concerning standardisation in the electrical and electronic fields. To
15 this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is
16 entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
17 participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organisations liaising
18 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International
19 Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the
20 two organisations.
21 2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
22 international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
23 from all interested National Committees.
24 3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
25 of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
26 Committees in that sense.
27 4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
28 Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
29 divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
30 indicated in the latter.
31 5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
32 equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
33 6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
34 of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
35 Recipients of this document are invited to submit, with their comments, notification of
36 any relevant patent rights of which they are aware and to provide supporting documen-
37 tation.
38 This committee draft for voting of the International Standard IEC 61400-25 has been prepared
39 by IEC technical committee 88: Wind turbines Project team 25.
40 This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

1 INTRODUCTION
2 This document addresses vendors (manufacturers, suppliers), operators, owners, planners,
3 and designers of wind power plants as well as system integrators and utility companies oper-
4 ating in the wind energy market. IEC 61400-25 is intended to be accepted and to be used
5 world-wide as the international standard for communications in the domain of wind power
6 plants.
7 IEC 61400-25 has been developed in order to provide a uniform communications basis for the
8 monitoring and control of wind power plants. It defines wind power plant specific information,
9 the mechanisms for information exchange, the mapping to communication protocols, and the
10 system configuration. In this regard the standard defines all details required to connect wind
11 power plant components in a multi-vendor environment and to exchange the information made
12 available by a component. This is done by definitions made in this document or by reference
13 to other commonly used standards.
14 The wind power plant specific information describes the crucial and common process data,
15 meta-data (data about data, e. g. scale factor or engineering unit), and configuration data of a
16 wind power plant. Process information is hierarchically structured and covers for example
17 common process information found in the rotor, generator, converter, grid connection and the
18 like. The data may be simple (value, timestamp, and quality) or more comprehensive (adding
19 more meta-data, for example engineering unit, scale, description, short hand reference, statis-
20 tical and historical information of the process value). All information of a wind power plant de-
21 fined in this standard is name tagged – it defines a comprehensive name space. A concise
22 meaning of each signal is given. The standardised wind power plant information can be easily
23 extended by means of a name space extension rule.
24 All process and meta-data can be exchanged by corresponding services. Access to the meta-
25 data (including configuration information with regard to the wind power plant information
26 model and services and communication stacks) provides the so-called self-description of a
27 device.
28 This standard allows SCADA systems (supervisory control and data acquisition) to communi-
29 cate with wind turbine controllers from multiple vendors. The standardised self-description
30 (contained either in a XML file or retrieved online from a device) can be used to configure
31 SCADA applications. Standardisation of SCADA applications are excluded in IEC 61400-25
32 but standardised common wind turbine information provides means for re-use of applications
33 and operator screens for wind turbines from different vendors. From a utility perspective uni-
34 fied definitions of common data minimise conversion and re-calculation of data values for
35 evaluation and comparison of all their wind power plants.
36 The standard can be applied to any wind power plant operation concept, i.e., both in individ-
37 ual and integrated operations. The application area of IEC 61400-25 covers all components
38 required for the operation of wind power plants, i.e., not only the wind turbine, but also the
39 meteorological system (reference wind mast), the electrical system, and the wind power plant
40 management system. The wind power plant specific information in IEC 61400-25 excludes in-
41 formation associated with feeders and substations. Substation communication is covered
42 within the IEC 61850 series of standards.
43 IEC 61400-25 puts an end to the communication difficulties arising from the wide variety of
44 protocols, labels, semantics etc. thus offering the possibility to manage different wind power
45 plants independently of the vendor. It enables components from different vendors to easily
46 communicate with other components, at any location, at any time. Object-oriented data struc-
47 tures make the engineering and handling of huge amounts of information provided by wind
48 power plants less time-consuming and more efficient. Scalability, connectivity, and interop-
49 erability can be maximised to reduce cost and needed man power.
50 This standard is a basis for simplifying the contracting of the roles the wind turbine and
51 SCADA systems have to play. The crucial part of the wind power plant information, the infor-

1 mation exchange methods, and the communication stacks are standardised. They build a ba-
2 sis to which procurement specifications and contracts could easily refer.
3 The standard IEC 61400-25 is organised in several parts. Part IEC 61400-25-1 offers an in-
4 troductory orientation, crucial requirements, and a modelling guide.
5 INTERIMS NOTE (for 1CDV review only): An XML file will be provided for the final version of the information mod-
6 els.
7 NOTE 1 Performance of IEC 61400-25 implementations are application specific. The standard does not guarantee
8 a certain level of performance. That’s out of the scope. However there is no underlying limitation in the communica-
9 tions technology to prevent high speed application (millisecond level responses).
10 NOTE 2 The standard IEC 61400-25 has a close relation with other IEC projects like IEC 61850 Addendum 1
11 (Communication networks and systems in substations - Power Quality Monitoring), IEC 62350 (Communications
12 Systems for Distributed Energy Resources (DER)), and IEC 62344 (Hydroelectric power plants – Communication
13 for monitoring and control).

4 Part 25-1:
5 Communications for monitoring and control of wind power plants –
6 Overall description of principles and models
7 1 Scope
8 The focus of IEC 61400-25 is on the communications between wind power plant components
9 such as wind turbines and actors such as SCADA Systems. Internal communication within
10 wind power plant components is outside the scope of this standard.
11 IEC 61400-25 is designed for a communication environment supported by a client-server
12 model. Three areas are defined, that are modelled separately to ensure the scalability of im-
13 plementations: (1) wind power plant information models, (2) information exchange model, and
14 (3) mapping of these two models to a standard communication profile.
15 The wind power plant information model and the information exchange model, viewed to-
16 gether, constitute an interface between client and server. In this conjunction, the wind power
17 plant information model serves as an interpretation frame for available wind power plant data.
18 The wind power plant information model is used by the server to offer the client a uniform,
19 component-oriented view of the wind power plant data. The information exchange model re-
20 flects the whole active functionality of the server. IEC 61400-25 enables connectivity between
21 a heterogeneous combination of client and servers from different manufacturers and suppli-
22 ers.
23 As depicted in Figure 1 IEC 61400-25 defines mainly a server with the following aspects:
24 − information provided by a real application of a wind power plant component, e. g.,
25 “wind turbine rotor speed” or “total power production of a certain time interval” is mod-
26 elled and made available for access. The information modelled in the standard is de-
27 fined in part IEC 61400-25-2.
28 − services to exchange values of the modelled information defined in part IEC 61400-
29 25-3
30 − mapping to a communication profile, providing a protocol stack to carry the ex-
31 changed values from the modelled information (part IEC 61400-25-4)
32 IEC 61400-25 only defines how to model the information, information exchange and mapping
33 to specific communication protocols. The standard excludes a definition of how and where to
34 implement the communication interface. However, the objective of the standard is that the in-
35 formation associated with a single wind power plant component (such as the wind turbine) is
36 accessible through a corresponding logical device.
37
38 NOTE 1 IEC 61400-25 focuses on the common, non-vendor-specific information. Those information items
39 that tend to vary greatly between vendor-specific implementations can for example be specified in bilateral agree-
40 ments, in user groups, or in amendments to this standard.
41 NOTE 2  IEC 61400-25 excludes definition of an application program interface and implementation rec-
42 ommendations.

15 vant information. Wind power plant information categories: source information (analogue and
16 state information), derived information (statistical and historical information).Information is de-
17 fined as data (usually processed and derived data, and meta-data describing other data).
18 3.15
19 information exchange
20 communication process between two systems, such as wind power component and actor, with
21 the goal to provide and to get relevant information. Requires specific communication functions
22 (services).
