디지털 변전소를 위해 IEC61850 국제 표준 프로토콜을 적용한 보호계전기(IED), 게이트웨이, HMI등이 필드에서 사용되고 있고, 전체 디지털 변전소를 위한 병합장치(Merging Unit: MU)등도 실제 운영되고 있다. 디지털 변전소는 기존 변전소를 효과적으로 운영하기 위해 필요한 높은 수준의 가용성과 전송능력이 필요하다. IEC TC 57 WG10은 디지털 변전소를 위한 이중화 사양으로 IEC SG65C WG15의 IEC62439-3/4 고속 절체 네트워크 운영 프로토콜(Highly Available Seamless Redundancy: HSR),(Parallel Redundancy Protocol: PRP)들을 추천하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 프로세스 버스의 병합장치(MU)로부터 계측된 전류와 전압을 고속 이더넷을 통해 샘플 계측값(Sampled Measured Values: SMV)을 전송받고, 고정밀 IEEE1588v2 PTP(Precision Time Protocol) 시각동기를 하며, 스테이션 레벨에서 MMS와 GOOSE 통신을 하는 계전기와 성능에 대한 것이다.

In this paper, we present an algorithm called redundant logical paths (RLP) for efficient HSR traffic reduction. It creates redundant logical paths between each HSR node and all the other nodes. Eventually, a logical full-meshed network or paths will be established among all HSR node types, except the Quadbox type, which is used only for interconnection. The logical full-meshed network will be used instead of using the standard HSR protocol that depends on the concepts of the duplication and forwarding of the received frame until it reaches the destination node. The RLP algorithm results in significantly less frame traffic because there is no random forwarding as in the standard HSR protocol. For the sample network in this paper simulation results showed a 61.5-80% reduction in network frame traffic compared to the standard HSR. Our algorithm will avoid latency issues in the network and even network congestion, thus improving network efficiency.

The high-availability seamless redundancy (HSR) protocol is one of the most important redundancy IEC standards that has garnered a great deal of attention because it offers a redundancy with zero recovery time, which is a feature that is required by most of the modern substation, smart grid, and industrial field applications. However, the HSR protocol consumes a lot of network bandwidth compared to the Ethernet standard. This is due to the duplication process for every sent frame in the HSR networks. In this paper, a novel algorithm known as the reducing multicast traffic (RMT) is presented to reduce the unnecessary redundant multicast traffic in HSR networks by limiting the spreading of the multicast traffic to only the rings that have members associated with that traffic instead of spreading the traffic into all the network parts, as occurs in the standard HSR protocol. The mathematical and the simulation analyses show that the RMT algorithm offers a traffic reduction percentage with a range of about 60-87% compared to the standard HSR protocol. Consequently, the RMT algorithm will increase the network performance by freeing more bandwidth so as to reduce HSR network congestion and also to minimize any intervention from the network administrator that would be required when using traditional traffic filtering techniques.

Ethernet 기반 차량 네트워크 구성 시 신뢰성은 요구조건 중 하나이다. 이를 위해 차량 네트워크 구조에 High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) protocol (IEC 62439-3 clause 5)를 사용할 수 있다. HSR 프로토콜은 프레임을 전송할 때 서로 다른 경로에 각각의 복제된 프레임들을 제공한다. 이는 전송 오류로 인해 하나의 경로에서 프레임을 전송받지 못하더라도 목적지 노드는 다른 경로를 통해 적어도 하나의 프레임을 받을 수 있어 네트워크의 고장 발생 시에도 네트워크의 중단이 없음을 의미한다. 고장 발생 시에도 목적지 노드는 Zero-recovery time으로 하나의 프레임을 받을 수 있기 때문에 표준 Ethernet 과는 달리 보낸 프레임의 손실시 네트워크를 재구성하는 시간이 필요 없다. 하지만 HSR 프로토콜은 복제 전송하는 프레임으로 인해 불필요한 트래픽을 발생시키는 단점이 있다. 이에 HSR 프로토콜의 성능을 향상시키기 위해 QR, VRing, RURT, DVP와 같은 방법들이 이미 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 차량 네트워크에 HSR 프로토콜을 적용한 3가지 구조를 제안하였고 여기에 트래픽 향상을 위해 QR, VRing을 적용하였으며 이 구조들의 트래픽 성능을 측정 및 비교하였다. QR과 VRing을 적용할 때 표준 HSR 프로토콜에 비해 48-75%의 트래픽 감소를 보여주었다. 이는 차량에서 신뢰성 향상을 위해 HSR 프로토콜은 Ethernet을 대신하여 사용할 수 있음을 의미한다.

High-availability seamless redundancy (HSR) is a redundancy protocol for Ethernet networks that provides two frame copies for each frame sent. Each copy will pass through separate physical paths, pursuing zero fault recovery time. This means that even in the case of a node or a link failure, there is no stoppage of network operations whatsoever. HSR is a potential candidate for the communications of a smart grid, but its main drawback is the unnecessary traffic created due to the duplicated copies of each sent frame, which are generated and circulated inside the network. This downside will degrade network performance and might cause network congestion or even stoppage. In this paper, we present two approaches to solve the above-mentioned problem. The first approach is called quick removing (QR), and is suited to ring or connected ring topologies. The idea is to remove the duplicated frame copies from the network when all the nodes have received one copy of the sent frame and begin to receive the second copy. Therefore, the forwarding of those frame copies until they reach the source node, as occurs in standard HSR, is not needed in QR. Our example shows a traffic reduction of 37.5%compared to the standard HSR protocol. The second approach is called the virtual ring (VRing), which divides any closed-loop HSR network into several VRings. Each VRing will circulate the traffic of a corresponding group of nodes within it. Therefore, the traffic in that group will not affect any of the other network links or nodes, which results in an enhancement of traffic performance. For our sample network, the VRing approach shows a network traffic reduction in the range of 67.7 to 48.4%in a healthy network case and 89.7 to 44.8%in a faulty network case, compared to standard HSR.
