Abstract: IEC 61850 communication technology is widely used in smart grid. However, no IEC 61850 communication standard has been enacted for fossil fuel power plant yet. Based on an investigation of the contents of IEC 61850 and its application in smart substation, the feasibility is analyzed for application of the IEC 61850 in control, protection and status monitoring of switchyard, generator units and auxiliary power system of the fossil fuel power plant, and its current application situation is introduced. In the end, the implementation plan and suggestions are proposed for application of the IEC 61850 communication technology in the fossil fuel power plant.

Key words: IEC 61850, smart substation, fossil fuel power plant, electrical system, communication technology, standard
