Title: Powder distribution network fault repair system data sharing method for information exchange bus based on IEC 61968 standards
Inventor: KUN YU
IPC: H04L12/40
Filed: 2017-11-28
Abstract: Disclosed is a power distribution network fault repair system data sharing method for an information exchange bus based on IEC 61968 standards. The method is such that, with data collected by subsystems serving as data models, a metamodel generating component abstractly generates a metamodel from the data models according to a four-layer metadata structure per the MOF standard. The metamodel comprising data model information and metamodel description information is transmitted to an IEC 61968-based power distribution network information exchange bus. A mobile operation terminal identifies via the metamodel description information and extracts from the power distribution network information exchange bus a required file, and a metamodel converting component converts a model definition into a program-understandable XML text according to the PMDL standard. The present invention implements rapid fault repair commanding service interoperation between different service systems, abstracts two information exchanging systems into two information objects, and views exchanged information as one file, thus facilitating system integration and information exchange.
