Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of digital transmission technology, and more specifically to a method for encrypting data communication in power distribution systems. Background Technology
[0002] With the advancement of communication technology and the integration of technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence into power distribution systems, digitalization, automation, intelligence, and collaboration have been achieved. In particular, the application of 6G technology will break down the boundaries of communication, becoming a comprehensive platform integrating sensing, intelligence, and computing, bringing revolutionary changes to internet communication and even the entire human society.
[0003] Due to the adoption of ultra-high precision sensing sensors and numerous sensors of various types, the communication of power distribution systems requires the construction of a real-time, synchronous, and interactive digital system to achieve precise management and prediction. Intelligent power distribution systems utilize various communication technologies and network equipment for rapid data acquisition and transmission, which also brings security risks associated with massive amounts of data. Once the system is attacked, it will pose security threats and challenges to the intelligent power distribution system. Therefore, improving the security management of data in intelligent power distribution systems is essential. This invention addresses the data transmission security risks of intelligent power distribution systems based on the development of next-generation communication technologies.
[0004] A patent document, application number CN 117955741 B, entitled "An Encrypted Communication Method for Modbus Protocol Communication Device," is available in the Chinese Patent Database. The encrypted communication system involves a sending end and a receiving end. The encrypted communication method includes: acquiring the data to be communicated from the sending end; identifying data requiring encryption within the data to be communicated and marking a first set of remaining data; encrypting the data requiring encryption to obtain encrypted data; packaging the encrypted data and the first set of remaining data to obtain a data packet; and sending the data packet to the receiving end. This invention automatically identifies the data requiring encryption within the data to be communicated, eliminating the need for the sending end user to manually select highly important data requiring encryption from the data to be communicated, thus reducing labor costs, improving the efficiency and comprehensiveness of encrypted communication, and making it particularly suitable for encrypted communication scenarios with large amounts of data. However, the encryption method provided in this document is only applicable to relatively simple data transmission between power distribution organizations. It is not suitable for various types of equipment, devices, complex instructions, and various types of data, or even semantic descriptions, in power distribution systems, and its transmission security is difficult to adapt to the development of communication content. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a data transmission and encryption method for power distribution systems to solve the problems in the prior art. The encryption method can greatly reduce the amount of data transmission and make the communication between the intelligent control module and various devices more secure. It can verify the identity of the sender and ensure the credibility of the control commands.
[0006] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A method for transmitting and encrypting data in a power distribution system network, wherein the intelligent power distribution system includes: a substation data monitoring module, an environmental monitoring module, an intelligent control module, a decision model based on semantic communication, and an intelligent encryption control model; The substation data monitoring module collects and processes status data of various power distribution equipment within the substation. The environmental monitoring module is used to collect and process monitoring videos of the internal and external environment of the substation and videos of personnel entering and exiting; and to extract semantic information from the video information in the environmental monitoring module and transmit it securely. The intelligent control module is used to issue encrypted control commands to various power distribution equipment in the substation and to issue control alarms to management personnel. A semantic communication-based decision model enables semantic extraction, encoding, secure transmission, decoding, and intelligent decision-making of data from the substation data monitoring module, the environmental monitoring module, and the intelligent control module. The aforementioned method for transmitting and encrypting data in a power distribution system network involves a semantic communication-based decision model that uses artificial intelligence algorithms to categorize substation scenarios into several types of scenarios and behaviors within each type of scenario into several types of behaviors. In the environmental monitoring module, a semantic codec is used to split real-time monitoring video segments into individual frames and compare each frame with the category scenarios and category behaviors to obtain unique semantic features composed of category scenarios and category behaviors. These semantic features are then converted into one-dimensional features using an entropy coding function, and finally transformed into a one-dimensional data stream by the codec before being transmitted to the intelligent control module. In the intelligent control module, after receiving a one-dimensional data stream, the entropy decoding function decodes the transmitted semantic features, restoring them into a unique category scene and category behavior. The pre-trained decision model in the intelligent control module is used to infer the nature of the situation and the handling method. Based on the handling method, an alarm is issued to the management personnel or an encrypted control command is sent to the equipment.
[0007] The aforementioned data transmission and encryption method for the power distribution system network involves semantic extraction and secure transmission of equipment status information in the substation data monitoring module. The semantic communication-based decision model utilizes artificial intelligence algorithms to identify various substation devices and their identities, obtaining their precise status data. In the substation data monitoring module, a semantic codec compares the equipment status with historical data and data ranges to obtain unique semantic features describing the equipment status. These semantic features are then converted into one-dimensional features using an entropy encoding function, and further converted into a one-dimensional data stream before being transmitted to the intelligent control module. Upon receiving the one-dimensional data stream, the intelligent control module decodes the transmitted semantic features using an entropy decoding function, restoring them to unique category scenarios and category behaviors. The pre-trained decision model in the intelligent control module infers the nature of the situation and the appropriate handling method, issuing alarms to management personnel or sending encrypted control commands to relevant equipment based on the handling method.
[0008] The aforementioned data transmission and encryption method for the power distribution system network involves encrypting data at the intelligent control module before sending control commands to the devices. The intelligent control module is equipped with a key generator. Each device is assigned a unique, fixed integer, and each device randomly selects an integer as its key. The public key is calculated using the parameters of the key generator and sent to the intelligent control module. When the intelligent control module issues a control command for a device's status, it uses an encryption function to convert the control command into ciphertext. The ciphertext is then concatenated with the key, and another encryption function is used to convert the concatenated data into new ciphertext, which is then output to the device. The device's built-in encryption component decrypts the new ciphertext and verifies whether the message is signed by the intelligent control module. If correct, the control command is decrypted and sent to the controller for execution. The encryption / decryption component is specialized hardware or software used for encryption and decryption. Beneficial effects
[0009] Compared with existing technologies, this invention utilizes a data security management method for intelligent power distribution systems to achieve analysis, decision-making, and secure data transmission for equipment and environmental monitoring. A semantic communication-based decision model converts equipment and environmental monitoring data into semantic data for transmission, significantly reducing data transmission volume and improving data transmission security. The intelligent encrypted control model ensures secure data transmission through encrypted communication between the intelligent control module and the equipment, and verifies the sender's identity, ensuring the credibility of control commands.
[0010] In addition, this invention uses the entropy function as an encryption system for encoding and decoding, and employs an obfuscation or format compatibility technique to cleverly embed security features in the compression process, achieving optimization in specific scenarios. Due to its deep coupling with specific compression algorithms, it is difficult to decipher and has high communication security.
