Abstract:In the ubiquitous electric internet of things, the traffic load of the process-level in smart substations, which is responsible for uploading operation status and issuing control instructions in smart substations, will be increased sharply. High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) topology configuration method in traditional IEC61850 standard protocol has the disadvantage of poor real-time transmission of information due to the extra traffic and corresponding transmission delay caused by data replicas circulating in the rings. Therefore, a seamless configuration method based on greedy traffic optimization scheduling algorithm for process-level network is proposed. Firstly, two kinds of HSR configuration schemes are proposed:Cross-Links (CLs) scheme and Four-Connected Rings (FCRs) scheme. Secondly, in order to avoid congestion in process-level network, which leads to poor transmission timeliness, a traffic scheduling strategy based on greedy algorithm is proposed. Finally, a substation simulation example based on Opnet shows that, compared with the traditional network topology configuration scheme, the average data transmission hops of the proposed scheme are 50% lower than those of the traditional network topology scheme. In addition, the recession of the transmission delay, packet loss rate and throughput of the process-level network using proposed greedy algorithm are reduced by 32.7%, 63.5% and 33.3% respectively compared with the traditional scheduling algorithms in congestion situation. Therefore, the proposed scheme can significantly improve the performance of process-level network in smart substation.
