“…As IEDs do not usually support GMRP, the use of multicast depends on manually configuring L2 switches. As well, the configuration of the network becomes troublesome and most vendors recommend using VLANs to limit the broadcast domain [7]. Therefore, multicast has not been used in practice, which reduces network performance [9].…”

Smart grids depend on a solid foundation of communications. Although standards like IEC 61850 proposes interoperability, autoconfiguration, and autonomous control solutions for the communication network, there are still open problems on how to efficiently forward high priority sensitive data. This work proposes a complete architecture for autonomic management and control of communication networks for substations based on IEC 61850. The proposed solution, called SMARTFlow, uses OpenFlow in order to achieve granularity and flexibility in the treatment of data flows. SMARTFlow proactively calculates Layer 2 multicast trees to forward the high priorities GOOSE and Sampled Values messages and reconfigures all flow entries in case of network failures. Also, the proposed system monitors the network and defines the configuration of client-server flows on-demand. The proposal was implemented and tested using Mininet and showed a total load up to 44 % lower than the load using typical switches.

“…To segregate this multicast traffic and ensure reliable communication (e.g., avoiding congestion), network devices must be configured with a variety of layer 2 and layer 3 networking techniques -e.g., virtual LANs (VLAN), multicast filtering, GARP Multi Registration Protocol (GRMRP), and Multiple MAC (or VLAN) Registration Protocol (MMRP or MMVP) [16]. A recent discussion between engineers on a LinkedIn discussion board demonstrates that this is a significant and unquestionable challenge [17].…”

Energy communication networks (ECNs) play an integral role in electrical substations. Substations host many Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) that monitor the state of the electricity infrastructure. This critical data is packaged and transmitted between multiple IEDs for proper system monitoring and control. The modern network that interconnects IEDs, while a significant improvement over the historic serial interconnection, has many challenges which have yet to be addressed -ranging from setup complexity to security policies. In this paper we propose that software-defined networking can alleviate many of today's problems and create a network which can evolve with changing technologies and needs. We demonstrate an autoconfiguring substation network which eliminates many substation network management issues. Our prototype is built using a Ryubased, software-defined network controller and tested with actual IEDs used in substations. We also discuss how our softwaredefined energy communication network (SDECN) architecture not only solves problems of today, but enables substation networks to easily evolve with the rapid evolution of the smart grid.

“…The proposed switch architecture of the substation automation is fully Traffic management is essential in the communication network environment especially with the multicast technique that is associated with SV, GOOSE and PTP. Multicast and VLAN filtering methods are utilized for stopping overloads on the edges of the device (such as protection relays), and for limiting the transmission data of the multicast function to specified devices only that are addressed in the data message [21,22].…”

Abstract:With the advent of the new information technologies, the power communication service object is continuously enhanced by the modernization level of the switches architecture designed in the substation automation environment. In the futuristic plan, the communication network not only provides a transmission line between devices, but also takes into account the reliability and efficiency of the power system communication network. Many protocols are used for the provision of faster and more robust communication among control centers, Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) and Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs). These protocols support the exchange of a wide range of possible common data that is organized by a DATA-SET, such as in synchronized circuit breaker switching, distance protection and overcurrent protection. However, these protocols do not give the expected performance with standard switches architectures due to the remarkable traffic in power system communication. To address this issue, this paper modelled a substation automation switch based on the packet forwarder technique based on Generic Object Oriented Substation Event (GOOSE) protocol with different architectures of substation automation switches based International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61850 standard. Finally, the simulations results found that the architecture of the four-switch system showed a significant performance, as compared with other architectures.
