The present work proposes the use of a combination of standardized middleware technologies, such as CORBA-RT and DDS in order to build Electrical Protection Relays in a modular and scalable way. Both CORBA and DDS follow different approaches, while CORBA is basically a Client / Server architecture, DDS follows the publisher/subscriber paradigm. However, IEDs generate different types of traffic that could be mapped to either CORBA, or DDS operations, leaving DDS for the most critical ones: the distribution of periodic samples values and substation events. The paper also analyses the behaviour of DDS for these types of operations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
