 Abstract:

IEC 61850, the standard for communication in power utility, has solved the interoperability problems between different vendors in substation communication networks (SCNs). However, most studies on SCN that use IEC 61850 were conducted using computer-based simulations or commercial equipment with fixed functions. In this study, an experiment on an SCN was conducted using real equipment such as a network switch, Raspberry Pi, and a mini PC. A cyclic data model was used for the traffic generation of sampled values (SVs) according to IEC 61850. The effect of applying a virtual local area network (VLAN) in the SCN on the transfer time and throughput of the SV frames was measured. In addition, when using IEEE 1588 in the time synchronization process, it was verified that the clock offset remained unaffected irrespective of the use of VLANs or changes in the sampling frequency. The experimental results can serve as guidance for the actual planning and construction process of SCNs.
