AI Technical Summary
In existing multi-FPGA distributed electromagnetic transient simulations, data transmission through copper cables and backplane buses suffers from inconsistent delays and electromagnetic interference, leading to decreased simulation accuracy and limited scale, making it difficult to support real-time simulation of ultra-large-scale power systems with tens of thousands of nodes.
The transmission network is constructed using optical interconnect technology, replacing copper cables and backplane buses with optical fiber transmission. Hardware clock recovery and data alignment circuits are designed to achieve global nanosecond precision time reference sharing. A deterministic optical transmission protocol is used for boundary data exchange and synchronization, and a dual-ring redundant optical fiber network with opposite transmission directions is constructed.
It solves the problems of inconsistent data transmission delay and electromagnetic interference, achieves deterministic synchronization of thousands of nodes, supports real-time simulation of ultra-large-scale power systems with tens of thousands of nodes, and improves simulation accuracy and reliability.
