UCAIug Network Redundancy Interoperability DemonstrationThe UCA International Users Group is sponsoring an IEC 61850 interoperability demonstration at the 2012 CIGRÉ exhibition in Paris, France on 27-31 August, Booth #275 with 14 companies showing:• Interoperability of devices implementing IEC 62439-3 local area

network redundancy standard for the Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) and/or High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) protocols (PRP/HSR Demo).

• Interoperability of other features and capabilities of IEC 61850 with other participants’ products (IEC 61850 Generic Demo).

To achieve high network availability for the most critical substation automation functions, such as tripping via GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event) messages and high frequency Sampled Value (SV) messages, IEC 61850 relies on the IEC 62439-3 standard which is applicable to all switched Ethernet networks.The IEC 62439-3 standard provides zero recovery time in case of failure thus fulfi lling the most demanding real-time requirements of substation automation. Using IEC 62439-3 all end nodes have two Ethernet ports each sending the same data over two independent links. Because the data is always available to the receiver via at least one of the two ports, no topology reconfi guration is required to recover from communication failure on any one port/link. Each end node has only one IP address and one MAC address shared by the two ports, which makes the confi guration identical to that of a non-duplicated node. The Link Redundancy Entity (LRE) in each node is responsible of duplicating the frames at the source and discarding of duplicate frames at the destination. D

IEC 62439-3 consists of two protocols, which can be coupled together: 1. The Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) relies on the parallel

operation of two local area networks. PRP allows a mix of both redundant and non-redundant nodes (SAN - Singly Attached Node) on the same network. The LRE can be implemented in software.

2. The High Availability Seamless Redundancy Protocol (HSR) applies the principle of parallel operation to a ring of bridging nodes interconnected by full-duplex links. Each node has two ports and implements the IEEE 802.1D bridging function to forward traffi c from port to port within microseconds. To achieve such a fast bridging, the LRE is implemented at the hardware level.

These new high availability redundancy protocols are a true breakthrough in substation communication and are expected to be implemented in all future IEDs.The PRP/HSR Interoperability demo includes hardware and software solutions compliant to the latest International Standard IEC 62439-3:2012. The application protocol for end nodes (protection relays, substation controllers, software applications, etc.) used during the Interoperability Demonstration will be IEC 61850. A high data traffi c in form of an audio/video stream will demonstrate the recovery abilities of the network. The communication network will comprise two independent 1 Gigabit/s PRP LANs with an HSR 100 Mbit/s ring connected to the PRP LANs via redundant PRP/HSR RedBoxes (Redundancy Boxes).
