Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power system security protection technology, specifically an isolation device for achieving physical isolation and secure data transmission between power security zone I (production control zone) and zone II (non-control production zone), and between zone II and zone III (management information zone), based on an inherent security mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] According to the "Regulations on Security Protection of Power Monitoring Systems," the power security zone is divided into the production control zone (Zone I / II) and the management information zone (Zone III / IV). These zones require isolation devices to achieve "secure isolation and limited interconnection." Existing isolation devices mostly rely on single physical isolation or static access control, which has the following drawbacks: Defect 1. Insufficient inherent security: Lack of module-level redundancy and fault self-healing capability; failure of a single module can easily lead to isolation failure or data transmission interruption.
[0003] Defect 2. Single protection level: Basic isolation is achieved only through protocol filtering, and no dedicated verification and cleaning mechanism is designed for power business data (such as SCADA real-time data and distribution network dispatch instructions).
[0004] Defect 3. Lack of status monitoring: The operating status of the isolation module cannot be monitored in real time. After an abnormality is triggered, manual intervention is required for switching, and the response delay exceeds the 500ms threshold allowed by the power system.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design an isolation device with inherent safety characteristics of "redundancy and fault tolerance, real-time monitoring, and dynamic protection" to address the safety shortcomings of existing devices. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a power safety regional isolation device based on intrinsic security.

The device has a box-like structure, and its internal controller unit includes a main control unit, a dual-redundant isolation module group, an intrinsic safety monitoring module, a dynamic switching module, a data storage and cleaning module, and a power supply module. Each module is connected to an industrial-grade Ethernet bus via a silver-plated copper busbar. Specifically, the upstream regional isolation area is connected to the input of the dual-redundant isolation module group via an Ethernet link. The output of the dual-redundant isolation module group is divided into two paths: one connected to the data storage and cleaning module, and the other connected to the mirror port of the intrinsic safety monitoring module. The main control unit is located centrally and is connected to the dual-redundant isolation module group, the intrinsic safety monitoring module, and the dynamic switching module via different buses. The relay contacts of the dynamic switching module are connected in series in the link between the dual-redundant isolation module group and the downstream regional isolation area. The power supply module is connected to all modules via power supply lines.

Wherein: As a further specific optimization of the technical solution of this utility model: the protocol filtering unit adopts a dedicated ASIC chip, presets a whitelist of allowed protocols for power services, and blocks protocols not on the whitelist.

[0012] As a further specific optimization of the technical solution of this utility model: the data verification unit integrates the SHA-256 hash verification module and the power data format verification subunit.
[0013] As a further specific optimization of the technical solution of this utility model: the intrinsic security monitoring module includes 3 current sensors, 2 voltage sensors, 1 message analysis subunit, and 1 temperature sensor.
[0014] As a further specific optimization of the technical solution of this utility model: the intrinsic safety monitoring module collects the electrical parameters (current 0~5A, voltage 0~220V), data frame integrity, and temperature of the dual redundant isolation module in real time, and sends a status message to the main control unit once every 100ms.
[0015] As a further specific optimization of the technical solution of this utility model: the sensor probe of the intrinsic security monitoring module is connected to the power supply and data terminals of the dual redundant isolation module through a terminal block, the message analysis subunit is connected to the Ethernet link of the isolation module through a mirror port, and the output terminal is connected to the main control unit through an RS485 interface.
