“…This means, in case of a link failure, there are no stoppage to the data transfer in a healthier ring. In this paper, tests of these two topologies have been simulated using an Optimized Network Engineering Tool (OPNET) simulator manufactured by Riverbed modeler, to determine the delay encountered and traffic load of data packets reaching out to various nodes in bits/sec, in a digital substation in a station bus configuration [4]. The frame stacks carry Generic Object Oriented Substation Events (GOOSE) that delivers real time and mission critical messages to the IEDs when the stacks of the GOOSE arrive at IEDs.…”

Abstract-High speed communication is critical in a digital substation from protection, control and automation perspectives. Although International Electro-technical Commission (IEC) 61850 standard has proven to be a reliable guide for the substation automation and communication systems, yet it has few shortcomings in offering redundancies in the protection architecture, which has been addressed better in IEC 62439-3 standard encompassing Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) and High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR). Due to single port failure, data losses and interoperability issues related to multivendor equipment, IEC working committee had to look beyond IEC 61850 standard. The enhanced features in a Doubly Attached Node components based on IEC 62439-3 provides redundancy in protection having two active frames circulating data packets in the ring. These frames send out copies in the ring and should one of the frame is lost, the other copy manages to reach the destination node via an alternate path, ensuring flawless data transfer at a significant faster speed using multi-vendor equipment and fault resilient circuits. The PRP and HSR topologies provides higher performance in a digitally protected substation and promise better future over the IEC 61850 standard due to its faster processing capabilities, increased availability and minimum delay in data packet transfer and wireless communication in the network. This paper exhibits the performance of PRP and HSR topologies focusing on the redundancy achievement within the network and at the end nodes of a station bus ring architecture, based on IEC 62439-3.

“…This is very relevant for the development of our approach. Reference [ 12 ] describes different robust topologies that employ PRP and HSR jointly. One limitation of PRP is that it is not strictly deterministic, since communication delays may vary depending on the topologies.…”

The network robustness and reliability are strongly influenced by the implementation of redundancy and its ability of reacting to changes. In situations where packet loss or maximum latency requirements are critical, replication of resources and information may become the optimal technique. To this end, the IEC 62439-3 Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) provides seamless recovery in layer 2 networks by delegating the redundancy management to the end-nodes. In this paper, we present a combination of the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) approach and PRP topologies to establish a higher level of redundancy and thereby, through several active paths provisioned via the OpenFlow protocol, the global reliability is increased, as well as data flows are managed efficiently. Hence, the experiments with multiple failure scenarios, which have been run over the Mininet network emulator, show the improvement in the availability and responsiveness over other traditional technologies based on a single active path.

“…However, different architectures are available for fail-over switching between the failed path/device and the redundant path/device [5], [6]. Highly available architectures, such as the rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP), parallel redundancy protocol (PRP) and high-availability seamless redundancy (HSR), minimize fail-over times [7]. Originally, HSR and PRP were introduced for SAS, but they may have B applications in other critical networking problems, as well [8].…”

The study presented in this paper investigated online data loss in a substation automation system (SAS) under network faults or failures. Online data loss refers to the amount of data that become inaccessible when a failure occurs in the SAS. It is a mathematical index related to the network's topology and architecture, and the calculation of which requires knowledge of the physical characteristics of SAS elements.The elements that record data were identified, and then the online data lost due to failures in those elements were determined. Also, as a case study, a typical SAS was examined under various states of failure, and the online data loss occurring under each scenarios was calculated.
