The Improvement about the Reliability of Sampling Based on Process Bus in Smart Substation

Abstract

The sampling based on process bus is not widely used in smart substation because there are still some technical problems on synchronization, the design of network architecture and sampling data receiving and processing areas. There are some researches about the problems are carried out, but they only focus on part of them and cannot give the whole solution. In order to improve the reliability of network sampling, a new system method which includes all the segments of the sampling based on process such as the synchronization of data acquisition, data transmission, network optimization and data processing are presented. In the data acquisition segment, the synchronization based on IEEE1588 is provided, In the data transmission segment, a new hardware architecture which is based on FPGA+DSP+VxWorks is described, in the segment of network optimization, the topology structure and virtual LAN are suggested. At last, the automatic resampling is proposed in the data receiving and processing segment. It will be useful to improve the reliability of sampling based on process bus in smart substation.
