Abstract

With the development of 5G technology and low-power wireless communication technology, a large number of IOT devices are introduced into energy systems. Existing IOT communication protocols such as MQQT and COAP cannot meet the requirements of high reliability and real-time performance. However, the 61850-9-2 Sample value protocol is relatively complex and the message length is large, difficult to ensure real-time transmission for IOT devices with limited transmission rate. This paper proposes a 9-2 Sample Value protocol for IOT controller based on Application Service Data Unit. The communication protocol is strictly in accordance with IEC61850-9-2 and can be recognized by existing intelligent electronic devices such as merging units. The protocol simplifies and trims some parameters, and changes the floating point value to integer data. Considering the instability of wireless communication, uni-cast or multicast UDP/IP is utilized to send SV Payload based on the 2.4GHz WIFI. The maximum transmission rate can be up to 30 Mbps. The hardware to implement reduced SV adopts ESP32-S, which is a dual-core MCU supporting WIFI with frequency of 240MHz. Software is based on FreeRTOS, LWIP and Libiec61850. A PC or raspberry PI is used as the Host to receive and analyze packets, verifying feasibility of reduced SV protocols.
