Abstract

In modern real-time Ethernet networks for substation automation, several protocols are adopted to guarantee the strict synchronization and availability requirements imposed by applications. The management of these networks is more and more complex, since several (cross-influencing) configuration parameters affect the performance of the overall system. In this paper the attention has been focused on synchronization systems applied to redundant network infrastructures for substation automation: in these systems the reconfiguration of the network after a fault may affect the synchronization performance of the nodes. As a test case the SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) synchronization has been simulated (with different fault conditions) using two network topologies typically adopted in Substation Automation Systems: RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) and PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol). The performance of the two cases has been compared by means of suitable metrics: PRP, as opposed to RSTP, guarantees seamless synchronization performance in case of a single fault.

变电站自动化冗余网络同步性能分析

在现代变电站自动化实时以太网网络中，采用了多种协议来保证应用对同步和可用性的严格要求。这些网络的管理变得越来越复杂，因为几个(交叉影响的)配置参数会影响整个系统的性能。本文重点研究了用于变电站自动化的冗余网络基础设施的同步系统:在这些系统中，故障后网络的重新配置可能会影响节点的同步性能。作为测试用例，使用变电站自动化系统中常用的两种网络拓扑:RSTP(快速生成树协议)和PRP(并行冗余协议)，模拟了SNTP(简单网络时间协议)同步(在不同故障条件下)。通过适当的度量对这两种情况的性能进行了比较:与RSTP相反，PRP保证在单个故障情况下的无缝同步性能。
