Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power system dispatching and communication, and in particular to a method for establishing a new control communication protocol based on IMS standard fusion 104 protocol. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing expansion and scale of power grid, power dispatching has put forward higher and higher requirements on the quantity and quality of data in substations. Telecontrol protocols have become the basis for ensuring the safety of power grid. At present, the commonly used protocols in power system mainly include CDT protocol (Cyclic Data Transmission protocol), IEC60870-5-101 protocol (question-and-answer asynchronous serial protocol) and IEC60870-5-104 protocol.

[0003] The CDT protocol is a cyclic transmission protocol. Regardless of whether the master station needs it or whether the data has changed, the data is transmitted upward in a fixed frame format. Although this method is simple, it occupies a large number of resources and the data processing is relatively complex. The IEC60870-5-101 protocol adopts a question-and-answer data transmission method. The master station sends an inquiry message, and the plant station answers the data required by the master station. If the data has not changed, it will not be transmitted. The amount of information that can be transmitted by this method is much greater than that of the CDT protocol. Although the real-time performance is slightly worse when receiving the telesignal change message, it has significantly improved safety reliability and data processing capabilities.

[0004] IEC60870-5-104 is a network protocol standard developed on the basis of IEC60870-5-101, which is widely used in industries such as power and urban rail transit. It transmits the Application Service Data Unit (ASDU) of IEC101 through the network protocol TCP / IP, providing a reliable communication protocol basis for the network transmission of telecontrol information. The ASDU method of combining IEC104 with IEC101 can well ensure the standardization of the protocol and the reliability of communication.

[0005] IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) is a new generation of communication exchange technology standard that promotes the integration of fixed and mobile networks and realizes multimedia communication interaction capabilities based on ubiquitous IP network architecture.

[0006] As an important part of the national economy, the stability and reliability of the power system's operation are directly related to the development of the economy and society and the lives of the people. With the expansion of the scale of the power grid, the operation of the power system has become more complex and changeable, and the number of dispatching sites and types has become increasingly numerous. The remote control method that relies entirely on manpower has increasingly high requirements for the professionalism of personnel, resulting in increasing manpower pressure and costs. Once the power grid control system fails or human errors occur, it may have a significant impact on the social economy. Summary of the invention

[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for establishing a new control communication protocol based on the IMS standard fusion 104 protocol, which solves the problems of complex data processing, large communication resource occupation and reliance on manual operation in the power dispatching process. By introducing IMS and artificial intelligence technology, the real-time, security and automation level of the control system are improved.

[0074] The edge computing system processes the data received from the IMS communication system and provides high-quality data that has been preliminarily processed and analyzed to the next data processing workstation.

[0075] S3. Develop and deploy data processing workstations based on the IMS system;

[0076] This step involves installing a high-performance data processing workstation, developing applications for data parsing and forwarding, and configuring communication interfaces to ensure stable connections with the dispatching system and edge computing system. The data processing workstation is responsible for processing the data received from the edge computing system and further processing and forwarding the data according to the new control communication protocol.

[0077] In this embodiment, step S3 specifically includes:

[0088] The data processing workstation receives and processes the data transmitted by the edge computing system, and exchanges data with the IMS communication system and the 104 protocol scheduling system to ensure the coordinated operation of the system.

[0089] S4, establish a new control communication protocol by integrating 104 protocol with IMS standard;

[0090] This step designs and develops a new control communication protocol that integrates the IMS standard and the 104 protocol, defines the data format, transmission protocol and security requirements in detail, and verifies the stability and reliability of the new protocol through comprehensive testing. The new protocol achieves seamless connection between the IMS system and the 104 protocol system.

[0101] This step ensures the standardization and compatibility of the new control communication protocol and improves the standardization and security of power grid dispatching communications.

[0102] The new specification provides a unified standard for data parsing, processing and transmission, ensuring seamless collaboration between the aforementioned systems (IMS communication system, edge computing system, data processing workstation).

[0103] S5. Parsing, processing and transmitting data through new control communication protocols;

[0104] This step uses the new control communication protocol to parse, process and transmit data, including automatic identification and processing of abnormal data, and realizes distributed data processing and transmission. This step ensures that data is transmitted safely and quickly between systems, supporting real-time decision-making for power grid dispatch.

[0105] In this embodiment, step S5 specifically includes:

[0106] Data analysis:

[0107] The received data is parsed using the new control communication protocol to extract effective scheduling information and control instructions.

[0108] Integrate intelligent algorithms to automatically identify and process abnormal data, and improve the accuracy and reliability of data processing.

[0113] The processed data is transmitted securely and stably through the IMS communication system and 104 protocol system.

[0114] Implement encryption and authentication mechanisms for data transmission to ensure the security and integrity of data during transmission.

[0115] This step realizes the automation and intelligence of data processing and transmission, improves the accuracy and timeliness of dispatching instructions, and ensures the safe and stable operation of the power grid.

[0116] Data processing and transmission rely on the system deployment and formulation of new protocols in the previous steps to ensure that data flows efficiently and securely between different systems and support the coordinated operation of the overall scheduling system.

[0117] Through the gradual implementation and close association of the above steps, an efficient, safe and intelligent power grid dispatching communication system has been formed. The IMS communication system provides basic communication capabilities, the edge computing system realizes real-time data processing, the data processing workstation is responsible for data parsing and forwarding, and the new control communication protocol ensures the compatibility between systems and the standardization of data transmission, ultimately achieving comprehensive optimization and upgrading of the dispatching system.

[0118] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) dispatching phone is integrated as a core communication device to achieve effective transmission of power grid dispatching instructions.

[0119] As part of the IMS communication system, the IMS dispatch telephone integrates a high degree of compatibility with the IMS core network. The telephone equipment not only supports traditional voice communications, but also handles multimedia communications such as video and data services. To achieve this function, it is necessary to ensure that the IMS dispatch telephone can be perfectly integrated with the existing power dispatch management system and can receive and send data based on the new control communication protocol.

[0120] Receiving and sending dispatch instructions: The IMS dispatch phone can directly receive dispatch instructions from the power grid dispatch center. When the center detects a situation that requires an immediate response, it sends instructions to relevant personnel or automation systems through the IMS dispatch phone. These instructions utilize the efficient transmission function of IMS to ensure the real-time and accuracy of the instructions.

[0121] Multimedia support: In addition to traditional voice communications, IMS dispatch phones can also send composite communication content including video and data. This is especially important for dispatch operations that require image or real-time data assistance.

[0122] The workflow of this embodiment is as follows:

[0123] 1. Instructions from the dispatch center: When the monitoring system of the dispatch center detects an event or condition that requires dispatch instructions, the dispatcher selects relevant operations or directly enters instructions through the interface of the IMS dispatch phone.

[0124] 2. Command transmission: The selected or entered command is transmitted to the target receiving site or individual via the IMS network in a highly secure and low-latency manner.

[0125] 3. Receiving and executing: The target site or personnel receives the instruction through their IMS dispatch phone and performs necessary operations accordingly, such as adjusting the grid load, starting or stopping equipment, etc.

[0126] Directly issuing instructions through the IMS dispatch phone greatly shortens the time from problem discovery to response, which is crucial for the stable operation of the power system. Automated instruction input and transmission reduces human errors and information loss in traditional communication processes. The multimedia communication capabilities of the IMS dispatch phone mean that dispatch instructions are no longer limited to text or voice, but can include multiple data forms such as video, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the situation.

[0127] By implementing this preferred embodiment, the communication efficiency and accuracy of the power dispatching system will be significantly improved, thereby optimizing the management and operation efficiency of the power grid.

[0128] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the edge computing system integrates advanced artificial intelligence technology to realize the function of automatic communication notification when the power dispatch center is short of manpower. This system improves the automation level and response speed of power dispatch, and can effectively ensure the stable operation of the power grid in emergency situations.

[0129] System configuration and integration

[0130] Edge computing hardware: Deploy high-performance edge computing servers close to data sources that have sufficient processing power to run complex AI algorithms.

[0131] Artificial intelligence software integration: Integrate artificial intelligence modules such as machine learning algorithms and natural language processing in edge computing systems to analyze scheduling data and make intelligent decisions.

[0132] System network connection: Ensure that the edge computing system has a stable network connection with other key systems such as the dispatch center and IMS communication system to support real-time transmission and reception of data.

[0133] The edge computing system can automatically monitor the operating status of the power network and automatically trigger the communication notification process when potential problems or anomalies are detected. The artificial intelligence algorithm analyzes the collected data, determines whether human intervention is required based on the preset logic and pattern, and selects the appropriate communication method (such as voice, SMS, email or instant messaging) to notify relevant personnel.

[0134] The workflow of this embodiment is as follows:

[0135] 1. Data monitoring and analysis: The edge computing system continuously receives real-time data from the power network and uses artificial intelligence technology to analyze it to identify any situations that may require an immediate response.

[0136] 2. Decision-making: Once a key event or abnormal data indicator is detected, the system automatically evaluates the current human resource status of the dispatch center.

[0137] 3. Automatic communication execution: Based on the evaluation results and preset rules, the system automatically triggers communication notifications and calls the IMS communication system to ensure that the information is quickly conveyed to the available dispatchers or emergency response teams.

[0138] Through the automatic monitoring and response mechanism, the demand for human monitoring is greatly reduced, and the power system's response speed to emergencies is improved. In the case of insufficient human resources, the system can automatically handle routine monitoring tasks, reducing the work pressure of the dispatch center staff. The system can select the most appropriate communication method to notify the dispatcher in time, improving the efficiency and accuracy of information transmission.

[0139] By implementing this preferred embodiment, the power dispatch center can automatically mobilize resources at critical moments to ensure the stability and safety of power grid operation, especially in high-load or emergency situations. This intelligent edge computing solution provides an efficient and reliable automation strategy for modern power grid management.

[0140] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in order to enhance the security of communication, the data processing workstation is physically connected to the dispatching system based on the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol through the RS232 serial port. This connection method is to ensure that network attacks and data leakage are prevented during data transmission, thereby protecting the data security and operational integrity of the dispatching system.

[0141] System configuration and integration

[0142] Hardware configuration: The data processing workstation is equipped with an RS232 serial port, which enables it to be directly connected to the dispatching system that complies with the 104 protocol through a physical line.

[0143] Security integration: By using RS232 serial port connection, data transmission does not rely on the network, reducing the risk of external network attacks. In addition, encryption measures can be implemented during serial port communication to increase the security of data during transmission.

[0144] RS232 serial port provides a stable and reliable physical connection method, which can effectively resist network interference and network attacks. Data transmission through RS232 serial port ensures the integrity and privacy of scheduling data, because physical connection is more difficult to be intercepted or tampered than network connection.

[0145] The workflow of this embodiment is as follows:

[0146] 1. Configuration and connection: The RS232 serial port of the data processing workstation is physically connected and configured with the corresponding serial port of the 104 protocol scheduling system to ensure that the configurations of both parties match, including settings such as baud rate, data bits, stop bits, and parity.

[0147] 2. Data transmission: When the dispatching system needs to send or receive data, the data is transmitted directly through the RS232 serial port without passing through any network equipment, thus avoiding the spread of data in the network and potential security threats.

[0148] 3. Data reception and processing: The data processing workstation receives data from the 104 protocol dispatching system via RS232, performs necessary analysis and processing, and may then feed back the processing results to the dispatching system.

[0149] Using RS232 serial port connection reduces the risk of data being intercepted and tampered with, and enhances the security of the transmission process. The stability of physical connection is much higher than that of network connection, especially in scenarios such as power grid dispatching that require extremely high real-time and reliability. Through physical connection, the security management of data transmission is simplified because there is no need to maintain complex network security measures.

[0150] By implementing this preferred embodiment, the communication security of the power dispatching system is significantly improved, especially in the key link of data transmission. This implementation method provides a simple and effective solution for protecting the operating data of critical infrastructure.

[0151] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the edge computing system communicates with the IMS data processing workstation via the WebSocket protocol. This communication method is selected to utilize the real-time and two-way communication capabilities of WebSocket to ensure efficient and secure exchange of IEC 60870-5-104 protocol (hereinafter referred to as 104 protocol) data.

[0152] System configuration and integration

[0153] Hardware configuration: Both the edge computing system and the IMS data processing workstation must be equipped with hardware facilities that support high-speed network communications and ensure that they can handle data exchange using the WebSocket protocol.

[0154] Software integration: Integrate WebSocket client and server functions in the edge computing system and IMS data processing workstation to ensure that the two can establish a stable WebSocket connection for data transmission.

[0155] WebSocket provides a full-duplex communication mechanism, allowing data to be transmitted in both directions between edge computing systems and data processing workstations instantly, which is critical for responding to the real-time requirements of power dispatch. Compared with HTTP polling or long polling, WebSocket can maintain a persistent connection state after establishing a connection, thereby reducing the overhead of repeatedly establishing connections and improving data transmission efficiency.

[0156] The workflow of this embodiment is as follows:

[0157] 1. Establish a connection: The edge computing system and the IMS data processing workstation establish a connection through the WebSocket protocol. In this process, one party initiates a connection request, and the other party responds and confirms the connection to establish a stable communication channel.

[0158] 2. Data exchange: Once the WebSocket connection is established, the edge computing system can send 104 protocol data to the IMS data processing workstation in real time. Similarly, the workstation can also send instructions or data back to the edge system in real time, supporting two-way data flow and instruction control.

[0159] 3. Triggering operations and responses: After receiving instructions or data from the data processing workstation, the edge computing system performs corresponding operations based on the received content, such as adjusting the grid operating parameters or triggering security protocols, and feeds back the operation results to the data processing workstation in real time.

[0160] By utilizing the real-time communication capabilities of WebSocket, the system's response speed to changes can be greatly improved, especially in power system dispatch, where real-time performance is critical. Once a WebSocket connection is established, it can maintain a long-term connection without frequent connection establishment and disconnection, thereby reducing communication overhead and system resource consumption. WebSocket supports high-throughput data interaction and is suitable for power dispatch applications with large data volumes and the need for rapid updates.

[0161] By implementing this preferred embodiment, the data processing and communication capabilities of the power dispatching system are significantly improved, especially in scenarios that require rapid response and processing of large amounts of data. This implementation method demonstrates its unique advantages and application value.

[0162] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the new control communication protocol integrates an automatic early warning function and can automatically call the corresponding personnel for remote intervention through the IMS communication system at critical moments. This function is to enhance the responsiveness and operational efficiency of the power dispatching system, especially to ensure the stable operation of the power grid in emergency or abnormal situations.

[0163] System configuration and integration

[0164] Protocol integration: The new control communication protocol design includes an intelligent monitoring and decision support module that can analyze data from the power grid in real time and provide automatic warnings based on preset thresholds and pattern recognition algorithms.

[0165] IMS communication integration: The IMS communication system is configured to receive early warning signals from new regulatory communication protocols and automatically trigger the communication process to call the necessary personnel or teams.

[0166] The new control communication protocol can identify potential grid problems or abnormal behaviors, such as abnormal frequency and voltage exceeding the standard, and automatically trigger the early warning mechanism. Once the early warning is triggered, the IMS communication system will automatically call the designated relevant personnel or emergency team through voice, video or other multimedia forms to ensure that they can intervene remotely to deal with the problem.

[0167] The workflow of this embodiment is as follows:

[0168] 1. Monitoring and analysis: The new control communication protocol continuously monitors various parameters and data from the power system, using integrated analytical tools to identify any possible anomalies or situations outside the normal operating range.

[0169] 2. Early warning trigger: Once a potential problem is detected, the automatic early warning system will be activated and generate corresponding early warning information.

[0170] 3. Automatic call implementation: The warning information will be transmitted to the IMS communication system, which will automatically call the relevant personnel according to the preset protocol, provide detailed information of the problem and request remote intervention.

[0171] 4. Remote intervention operation: The called personnel remotely access the power dispatching system through the support of the IMS communication system and take necessary actions to handle or alleviate the problem.

[0172] Automatic early warning and remote intervention mechanisms significantly improve the system's response speed to emergencies and reduce potential risks and damage. Through the automated early warning and call system, the reliance on on-site personnel is reduced and human resource allocation is optimized. It ensures that the power system can maintain efficient and stable operation under various circumstances, quickly solves problems through remote technology, and reduces the overall downtime of the system.

[0173] The automatic warning and remote intervention functions of this preferred embodiment not only enhance the operational efficiency of the power dispatching system, but also improve the ability to handle emergency situations, and are an important technological advancement in modern power system management.

[0174] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, by integrating the IMS communication system, the 104 protocol scheduling system and the edge computing system, an efficient, secure and intelligent new control communication protocol method is realized.

[0175] The specific steps are as follows:

[0176] 1. Dispatch instructions are issued:

[0177] The dispatcher of the dispatch center clicks on the alarm information that needs to issue dispatch instructions to the corresponding station on the operation monitoring terminal of the 104 protocol dispatch system. The information is sent to the IMS data processing workstation through the RS232 serial port.

[0178] After receiving the information, the IMS data processing workstation parses the data according to the IMS fusion 104 control communication protocol.

[0179] The parsed instruction triggers the IMS dispatch phone next to the dispatcher's monitoring terminal, completing the entire business process of the dispatch instruction.

[0180] Compared with traditional dispatching methods, this process reduces the manual operations between two different systems, significantly shortens the time for issuing dispatch instructions by more than 50%, and improves the dispatching precision capability.

[0181] 2. System connection and data processing:

[0182] The 104 protocol dispatching system and the IMS data processing workstation are connected via RS232 serial port to ensure the security of communication. The IMS data processing workstation consists of two integrated circuit function modules, which are responsible for the implementation of the new communication protocol between the IMS communication system and the 104 dispatching system.

[0183] A connection is established between the IMS data processing workstation and the IMS edge computing system through the WebSocket protocol to trigger data and communication of the 104 protocol.

[0184] 3. Unified deployment of IP private network:

[0185] The IMS communication system, IMS edge computing system and IMS dispatch telephone are all deployed on the same IP private network to ensure efficient communication and data transmission within the system.

[0186] 4. Automation and AI assistance:

[0187] The IMS edge computing system integrates AI private model algorithms. When the dispatch center is short of manpower or unreachable, the system can automatically call the corresponding personnel through the IMS communication system (voice, message, video) for remote intervention.

[0188] By implementing this preferred embodiment, the present invention realizes an efficient, safe and intelligent control communication method in the power dispatching system, significantly improves the response speed and operation accuracy of power dispatching, and ensures the stable and safe operation of the power grid.

[0189] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
