Standardized information model is one of the key features of IEC 61850 compared to other communication standards. IEC 61850 provides models for different entities of a substation and PAC system, including primary equipment, secondary equipment as well as it's functions and communications between them. In this lecture we introduce different kinds of models defined by IEC 61850 and discuss why are they so essential.
