Abstract

Smart substations are an important trend in substation construction. With increasing data traffic, it is difficult for the traditional Ethernet network to meet the real-time requirements of control information in smart substations. Hence, in this paper, a deterministic network architecture for substations based on time-sensitive networks (TSN) has been developed in order to realize the domain-wide time synchronization and efficient real-time communication of the “three-layer and two-network” model in smart substations. Furthermore, a design scheme for substation automation equipment based on TSN is proposed. The proposed device realizes the timely transmission of real-time control information packets by utilizing the Earliest TxTime First (ETF) Qdisc technology of Linux and the timing sending capability of Intel 210 NIC. Furthermore, it collaborates with the time-aware shaper (TAS) traffic scheduling mechanism of TSN switches to ensure the end-to-end deterministic delay of time-sensitive traffic. As a result, it provides efficient real-time communication services with low latency and jitter for smart substation automation systems.
