Patent ID: 11057269

Abstract:
Method and system arranged for configuring Intelligent Electronic Device, IED, process bus network switches from a substation specification according to IEC 61850 standard, said method comprising: calculating, from a substation topology file and from control function and substation bay library files, a Substation Specification Description file and substation traffic demand flow files comprising a GOOSE message profile subscription file and a Sampled Values message profile subscription file; generating destination MAC addresses; simulating the process bus communication network using said substation traffic demand flow files and process bus communication network topology, said topology comprising said process bus network switches, respective links and IED links; calculating the shortest path between each publisher IED and each subscriber IED; calculating a switch multicast filtering rule file, for each switch output port, comprising a multicast filter rule that allows the calculated shortest paths; translating the filtering rule file into a file acceptable by the switch.
