DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In order to better understand the present invention, the content of the present invention is further clearly set forth below in conjunction with the examples, but the protection content of the present invention is not limited to the following examples. In the following description, a large number of specific details are provided in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented without one or more of these details.

[0034] First, the common terms in the art involved in the embodiments of this application are explained:

[0035] IED: Intelligent electronic device is a basic element of smart grid, providing the detection, measurement, protection and control functions required by the system.

[0036] SCD: Substation Configuration Description (SCD) describes the substation primary system structure and associated logical nodes, as well as the instance configuration and communication parameters of all IEDs and the communication configuration between IEDs. SCD files are in XML format. Parsing SCD files is conventional and will not be explained in detail in this application.

[0037] Example 1: The purpose of this example is to provide a method for automatically generating safety management and control measures for secondary equipment in a smart substation.

[0038] S1. Build a security target model based on the SCD file of the smart substation.

[0039] The SCD file of the smart substation records the primary system topology of the smart substation, the relationship between primary and secondary equipment, and all IED information of the entire station.

[0040] This step parses the SCD file, builds a primary loop model based on the topological relationship between the primary equipment and the primary system, and builds a secondary loop model based on the topological relationship between the secondary equipment and the secondary system; based on the association relationship between the primary and secondary equipment, the primary loop model and the secondary loop model are connected to form the security target model.

[0041] S2. Perfecting the secondary security measure operation objects in the security measure target model.

[0042] In addition to the secondary equipment, secondary equipment safety control measures also involve soft pressure plates, hard pressure plates, and other physical components within the secondary system. Therefore, this step also adds these components to the safety measure target model. Hard pressure plates include protection function pressure plates and output pressure plates. Protection function pressure plates implement certain functions of the protection device (such as the activation and deactivation of main protection, distance protection, and zero-sequence protection). Output pressure plates determine the outcome of the protection action and can be categorized as trip output pressure plates and start pressure plates, depending on the target of the protection action output. Soft pressure plates include function soft pressure plates, GOOSE send pressure plates, GOOSE receive pressure plates, and SV receive soft pressure plates.

[0043] The soft pressure plate related information is recorded under the IED node of the SCD file. By parsing the SCD file, the soft pressure plate information and the corresponding position can be obtained, and then the soft pressure plate can be added to the security target model.

[0044] All IEDs are equipped with maintenance hard pressure plates, and intelligent terminals are equipped with export hard pressure plates, so the hard pressure plate information of these devices is added to the safety measure target model.

[0045] The most accurate information about physical components exists in the CAD drawing file of the substation. This step identifies the substation CAD drawing, analyzes the components corresponding to various graphic elements and the connection relationship between the components, and identifies the physical components of the secondary security operation objects based on the logical relationship between the various drawings. It then compares them with the secondary circuit model in the security target model and adds the missing components in the model to the security target model.

[0046] The CAD drawings identified in this step include: drawing catalogs, secondary schematics, panel cabinet drawings, device backplane drawings, component wiring diagrams, optical cable connection diagrams, and terminal block diagrams. The physical components identified include optical fibers, switches, devices, power supplies, panel cabinets, terminal boxes, buttons, terminals, and pressure plates.

[0047] Based on the drawing specifications of substation design drawings, similar components all use the same graphic elements, and the naming of different types of equipment follows certain characteristic rules. Therefore, for the recognition of CAD drawings, machine learning methods can be used to build a data set by collecting images of different graphic elements, naming rules and other data. The recognition model is trained through the data set. The recognition model can be used to identify the corresponding components from the drawings, and then the connection relationship between different components can be identified according to the direction of the connecting lines in the drawings.

[0048] S3. Add security measures rules to the security measures target model.

[0049] This step first adds corresponding operation modes to the secondary safety measure operation objects in the safety measure target model. For example, a function pressure plate has two operation modes: on and off, with the operation purposes being to enable or disable the XX function, respectively. Another example is a protection device's trip output pressure plate, with two operation modes: on and off, with the operation purposes being to enable or disable the protection function, respectively. Furthermore, an optical fiber, switch element, or terminal element has two operation modes: open and close.

[0050] Safety measure rules include three parts: operation object, operation mode and operation device. The operation object is the operation object of the secondary safety measure, and the operation device is the secondary device corresponding to the operation object. For example, if a safety measure is to exit the SV receiving soft pressure plate of a certain protection device, then the operation object is the SV receiving soft pressure plate, the operation mode is exit, and the operation device is the protection device.

[0051] Then, the security measure rules are added to the security measure target model, and the rules are associated with the secondary security measure operation objects.

[0052] S4. Generate secondary equipment safety measures based on the secondary equipment to be repaired using the safety measure object model.

[0053] According to the secondary equipment to be repaired, the maintenance scope of the secondary equipment is determined in the safety measure object model. Then, based on the logical relationship between the secondary equipment, the isolation point between the normally operating equipment and the equipment to be inspected is clarified, and the secondary safety measure operation object serving as the isolation point is selected. The operation mode of the selected secondary safety measure operation object is determined according to the safety measure rules, and the secondary equipment safety measures are automatically generated.

[0054] S5. Automatically generate secondary security control map and secondary security ticket.

[0055] According to the secondary equipment to be repaired, the secondary safety measure operation object and the secondary equipment safety measures generated in step S4, a secondary safety measure ticket is automatically generated according to the secondary safety measure ticket template, and a visual secondary safety measure control diagram is automatically drawn.

[0056] The secondary safety measures control diagram is used to visually display the equipment and components affected by the implementation of secondary safety measures.

[0057] In one embodiment of generating a secondary safety measure control diagram, a block diagram is first generated. The block diagram includes the secondary equipment to be repaired, the secondary equipment affected by the secondary safety measure operation, and other secondary equipment connected to these secondary equipment. Each secondary equipment is represented by a wireframe. Then, based on the secondary safety measure operation, the secondary safety measure operation object is added to the wireframe of the corresponding secondary equipment. The wireframe of the corresponding secondary equipment is bolded or highlighted with a background color, and the connection between the secondary safety measure operation objects is added using lines.

[0058] In another embodiment of generating a secondary safety measure control diagram, a secondary safety measure control diagram template is first generated based on all secondary devices and secondary safety measure operation objects in the safety measure target model. In the template, wireframes represent secondary devices, sub-wireframes within the secondary device wireframes represent other secondary safety measure operation objects, and lines between wireframes represent the connections between the secondary safety measure operation objects. When the secondary safety measure control diagram is generated, the elements corresponding to the secondary devices to be repaired, the secondary safety measure operation objects, the secondary devices affected by the secondary safety measure operation objects, and other secondary devices connected to these secondary devices are retained according to the secondary safety measure control diagram template, and other elements are hidden.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention and are not limiting. Other modifications or equivalent substitutions made to the technical solution of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
