Modeling and Simulation for Quantitative Assessment of Process Level Networks in Substation Based on OPNET

Abstract:

The substation process level networks modeling based on OPNET provides the solution for the quantitative assessment of process level networks. To meet the demand in substation automation system application, it analyzes the modeling requirements of entity equipment, IEC 61850 standard and optimization strategies. From the prospective of OPNET operating system, model library and user-defined modeling methods it researches the adaptation of OPNET and process level networks modeling, and it analyzes the substation process level network modeling based on OPNET with the demonstrations of SV/GOOSE, merging unit and protection IED, VALN modeling, providing the solution for the quantitative assessment of process level networks. Finally it proposes the modeling and simulation platform for quantitative assessment of process level networks in substation basing on an 110kV substation. This paper provides an effective tool for the quantitative assessment of process level networks and substation automation system.
