[0040] Figure 1 is a flow chart of the method of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] In order to facilitate those skilled in the art to understand and implement the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments. The embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0042] Example 1:

[0043] A method for automatically configuring substation communication parameters, comprising the following steps:

[0044] Step 1: Parse the SCD file, extract the relevant description information of the IED device, and check whether there is an S1 access node, G1 access node, M1 access node, the number of GOOSE control blocks, and the number of SV control blocks under each IED node. Finally, group each IED device according to the relevant description information. The specific steps include:

[0045] Step 1.1: Parse the first to eighth characters of each IEDNAME in the SCD file according to the standard definition ("IEDNAME Character Standard Definition Table") to match the meaning of the characters in the IEDNAME (device name) and extract the device type, bay type, voltage level, bay number, and set of the IED device corresponding to each IEDNAME. Specifically:

[0046] Parse the first and second characters of IEDNAME to obtain the device type of the IED device; parse the third character of IEDNAME to obtain the interval type of the IED device; parse the fourth and fifth characters of IEDNAME to obtain the voltage level; parse the sixth and seventh characters of IEDNAME to obtain the interval number; parse the eighth character of IEDNAME to obtain the set number;

[0047] Equipment types include protection devices, protection and measurement devices, measurement and control devices, merging units, intelligent terminals, switches, and intelligent recorder acquisition units;

[0048] Step 1.2. Group the IED devices according to their device type: IED devices of the protection device and the measurement device are divided into the first group, IED devices of the measurement and control device are divided into the second group, IED devices of the merging unit and the intelligent terminal are divided into the third group, IED devices of the switch are divided into the fourth group, and IED devices of the intelligent recorder acquisition unit are divided into the fifth group.

[0049] Step 2: Divide the station control layer network into multiple subnets, and assign each IED device to each subnet of the station control layer network based on the extracted relevant description information of the IED device, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0050] Step 2.1: Divide the station control layer network into monitoring network A, monitoring network B, protection substation network, intelligent recorder acquisition unit network, and switch network;

[0051] Step 2.2: Then, divide each group into the corresponding subnet of the station control layer network according to the device type. Specifically, divide the IED devices of the first group into the monitoring network A and the protection substation network, divide the IED devices of the second group into the monitoring network B, divide the IED devices of the fourth group into the switch network, and divide the IED devices of the fifth group into the intelligent recorder acquisition unit network.

[0052] Step 3: Allocate an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address to each IED device in each subnet of the station control layer network, specifically including the following steps:

[0053] The format of the IP address is 172.YXN, where Y is the subnet type; X is the voltage level. Public equipment is numbered independently and must not be repeated with other equipment. N is the device host number. The device host numbers of different IED devices must be unique and special numbers such as 0, 1, and 255 must not be used.

[0054] Get the default subnet mask based on the IP address type and set the gateway address.

[0055] As an implementable method, in step 3.1, the first digit of the IP address assigned to each IED device in each subnet of the station control layer network is 172;

[0056] Step 3.2: The second digit of the IP address assigned to the IED device in the monitoring network A is 16, and the second digit of the IP address assigned to the IED device in the monitoring network B is 17;

[0057] The third digit of the IP address is assigned based on the first two digits of the voltage level of each IED device. For example, 500kV is 50, 330kV is 33, 220kV is 22, 110kV is 11, 66kV is 66, 35kV is 35, and 10kV is 10. The third digit of the IP address is assigned to public devices independently.

[0059] Step 3.3: Assign the second digit of the IP address of the IED devices in the intelligent oscilloscope acquisition unit network to 21. Assign the third digit of the IP address according to the first two digits of the voltage level of each IED device, and assign 99 to the public device independently. Assign the fourth digit of the IP address in the order of 2-254 according to the order in which the IED devices are imported.

The third digit of the IP address is assigned based on the first two digits of the voltage level of each IED, and 99 is assigned to common devices independently. The fourth digit of the IP address is assigned sequentially from 2 to 254 according to the order in which the IEDs are installed.

[0061] Step 3.5: Assign subnet mask "255.255.0.0" and gateway address "0.0.0.0" to all devices in monitoring network A, monitoring network B, protection substation network, intelligent recorder acquisition unit network, and switch network divided in step 2.1.

[0062] Step 4: Allocate communication parameters to each GOOSE control block of each IED device including the G1 access node. The communication parameters of the GOOSE control block include VLAN, MAC address, and APPID. Specifically, the following steps are included:

[0064] Step 4.2: Configure the MAC address of all GOOSE control blocks in hexadecimal order. The MAC address value range is 01-0C-CD-01-00-00 to 01-0C-CD-01-3F-FF. The MAC address parameter is guaranteed to be unique in the current SCD file.

[0065] Step 4.3: Take the last four digits of the MAC-Address of each GOOSE control block and fill them into the APPID. That is, the last four bytes of the APPID and MAC-Address should be consistent.

[0066] Step 5: Allocate communication parameters to each SV control block of each IED device including the M1 access node. The communication parameters of the SV control block include VLAN, MAC address, and APPID. Specifically, the following steps are included:

[0067] Step 5.1. Extract all IED devices that include the M1 access node, assign a VLAN ID (VLAN identifier) ​​of 000 (the VLAN ID configuration should be a 3-digit hexadecimal value in the range of 0x000 to 0xFFF) and a VLAN priority of 4 to the SV control block of each IED device;

[0068] Step 5.2: Configure the MAC address of all SV control blocks in hexadecimal order. The MAC address value range is 01-0C-CD-04-00-00 to 01-0C-CD-04-01-FF. The MAC address parameter is guaranteed to be unique in the current SCD file.

[0069] Step 5.3: Take the last four digits of the MAC-Address of each SV control block and fill them into the APPID. That is, the last four bytes of the APPID and MAC-Address must be consistent.

[0070] Step 6: Divide the process layer network according to the voltage level and suite, and divide the IED devices including the G1 access point or the M1 access point into the process layer network of the corresponding voltage level and suite according to the voltage level and suite of the IED devices, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0071] Step 6.1. Divide different process layer networks according to voltage levels. Redundant multi-networks are represented by A1, A2, B1, and B2.

[0072] Step 6.2: Classify the IED devices in the first, second, third, and fourth groups of devices, including the G1 access point or the M1 access point, according to voltage level and suite type, and assign these devices to the process layer network of the corresponding voltage level and suite type. For example, if the extracted device voltage and suite type are 220kV and A respectively, then assign these devices to the 220kV process layer A1 network and the 220kV process layer A2 network.

[0073] Step 7. After completing the automatic configuration, verify the correctness of the configuration through the SCD verification module to ensure the accuracy and rationality of the subnet configuration and communication parameters. Verify the configured subnet and corresponding communication parameter information with the configuration results through the SCD verification module to ensure the correctness of the automatic configuration.
