3 Control Center Communication


Redundant control center communication A control center for power supply systems such as Spectrum Power (g. 8.3-1) is typically congured with full redundancy to achieve high availability. This includes communications. Depending on the system operators requirements, various mechanisms are supported to achieve this goal for communication. This includes: Automatic failover of communication servers Congurable load sharing between two or more communication servers Automatic failover of communication lines Supervision of standby communication line, including telegram buffering Process communication to substations and power plants Process communication to the substations and to Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), e.g., in power plants or power supply systems, is implemented via serial interfaces or by means of TCP/ IP-based network communication with a Communication Front End. The Communication Front End includes data-pre-processing functionality like : Routine for data reduction, e.g., old/new comparison, threshold check Data conversion Scaling and smoothing of measured values Integrity checks for incoming data Data completeness checks and cycle monitoring Statistical acquisition of the data trafc with the RTU. All kinds of different protocols are used for historical reasons. However, as a result of international standardization there is also a market trend here towards standardized protocols like IEC 60870-5-104, DNP3i protocol or IEC-61850.

The more recent protocol standards all rely on TCP/IP-based communication. However, it must be possible today and in the near future to continue connecting conventional telecontrol devices (already installed RTUs) via serial interfaces. Interface for industry automation/third-party applications OPC (OLE for process control) and OPC UA provide a group of dened interfaces. OPC in general enables the overall data exchange between automation and control applications, eld systems/eld devices, as well as business and ofce applications. OPC is based on OLE/COM and DCOM technology. OPC UA (Unied Architecture) is a continuation and further innovation of OPC. OPC UA is based on native TCP/IP and is available for multiple operating system platforms, including embedded devices. Communication between control centers The communication between control centers is provided via the communication protocols ICCP or ELCOM, and is based on TCP/IP. The Inter Control Center Communication Protocol (ICCP) is an open and standardized protocol based on IEC 60870-6 and Telecontrol Application Service Element Two (TASE.2). The exchanged data is primarily real-time system information like analog values, digital values and accumulator values, along with supervisory control commands. Remote workstations/ofce communication Remote workstations can communicate with the control center via the ofce LAN or an Internet connection. System and data integrity has to be ensured by the system security conguration for Protection against external attacks Protection against unauthorized usage Protection against data loss
