Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of power system automation, in particular to a safe and controllable distributed power distribution automation terminal. Background Art

[0002] In power distribution systems, distribution automation terminals (DATs) are key equipment for implementing smart grids. They are typically deployed at key nodes such as substations, switchgear stations, and distribution lines. The core functions of these DATs are to monitor grid operating parameters (such as voltage, current, and frequency) in real time, execute control operations on switchgear (such as opening and closing), and implement relay protection for equipment such as lines and transformers. This ensures that in the event of a fault (such as a short circuit or overload), the faulty area can be quickly, reliably, and selectively isolated, safeguarding the safety of the main grid and ensuring power supply continuity.

[0003] Traditional distribution automation terminals typically utilize single-core or homogeneous multi-core architectures, responsible for real-time signal acquisition, fault detection, relay protection, and remote communication. However, because they must simultaneously handle real-time measurement and control tasks and communication, they have a high degree of task coupling and low task scheduling efficiency, which can easily lead to response delays and make it difficult to meet the millisecond-level real-time requirements of smart grids. Furthermore, their reliability is insufficient, and single points of failure can easily cause system failures, impacting the continuous operation of the grid. Furthermore, the security protection mechanisms of traditional distribution automation terminals rely on general algorithms, lack hardware security support, and inadequate communication data encryption capabilities, which can easily lead to data leaks and pose significant security risks.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the communication interface includes an Ethernet interface and a serial interface, thereby enabling the measurement and control function module to support multiple communication protocols, preventing communication interruptions during the measurement and control process, and ensuring stable data transmission.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the measurement and control function module further includes a display module electrically connected to the corresponding output terminal of the real-time core. The display module can display the measurement and control task processing data of the measurement and control function module in real time for staff to view in real time.

[0011] Specifically, the main control module is a main control board built with a domestically produced multi-core heterogeneous chip (FUXI-H2). The real-time core is configured as: C-SKY 810, 800MHz, 512KB L2 cache, which runs measurement and control tasks such as signal acquisition, fault detection and relay protection logic processing; the communication core is configured as: C-SKY 860 (800MHz, 512KB L2 cache), connected to the DDR3 controller (1600Mbps, 2GB addressing space) through the HSB-2.0 bus.

In the measurement and control module, the analog acquisition unit uses the FUXI-H2's built-in dual-channel 12-bit ADC (CH0-CH9), with an input range of 0-3.3V and a sampling rate of 1Mbps. An external CS1248 chip is added to achieve 16-bit high-precision sampling, with data transmitted via an SPI interface. The relay protection logic processing unit utilizes a C-SKY 810 core with a 512KB L2 cache. The switch control unit configures the GPIO group in input mode, with a drive capability of 8mA (at VDDIO = 3.3V). The fault recording module stores fault data in eMMC memory (SDIO1 interface, 50MHz clock) for subsequent analysis. The communication interface transfers ADC sampled data to shared memory in real time via a DMA channel. The display module drives a 7-inch LCD screen, using the chip's native LCD interface. Backlight brightness is adjusted via a PWM channel with a duty cycle resolution of 1 / 250.
