3. What is IEC 61850?
A single international standard data communications protocol with several services aimed at all substation protection and control requirements:
Relay or IED measurement and control exchanges with substation hosts – RTUs, concentrators, station computers, HMIs.
High-speed status, control, and analog value transfer over a substation LAN to eliminate control wiring.
Services for time synchronization, file transfer.
Standardized automatic configuration of substation IEDs.
Interoperability of devices from multiple vendors.

4. What is IEC 61850?
Not a protocol! A list of services for Substation Protection and Control It is a Client/Server system where the IED (Intelligent Electronic Devices) are the Servers and the higher level systems (HMI, etc) are the clients. IEDs are Self Describing. The intent is to make configuration easier. GOOSE messaging replaces control wiring by providing high speed peer-to-peer LAN messaging between relays.
