  • Patent number: 11405313
    Abstract: Disclosed is a simulation design method for bay layer devices of a smart substation. Application layer modules of two network structures store identity tags of each other's application layer modules respectively, so that a simulation model of the bay layer devices has ports of both network structures and can realize data sharing. The simulation model of the bay layer devices can process SV messages, GOOSE messages and MMS messages simultaneously. An interface layer is additionally configured between an application layer and a data link layer to allow data to be directly mapped to the data link layer from the application layer, so that received or transmitted messages contain actual electrical quantity information. The invention provides model establishment methods of two network structures, thus not only suitable for simulation of the bay layer devices, but also suitable for simulation of station control layer devices and process layer devices.
