Supported Electrical Protocols
When interfacing with power system simulators, NetSim supports the following electrical protocols:
IEEE C37.118 protocol (Synchro phasor Protocol): Used for real-time exchange of synchro phasor data, enabling precise time synchronization and measurement of electrical quantities across distributed systems.
DNP3 (over TCP/IP): Primarily used in SCADA systems for communication between outstations (e.g., RTUs) and a master station, offering robustness in adverse conditions and support for various data types.
Modbus (over TCP/IP): A widely adopted protocol for communication between devices, allowing simple and efficient data transmission over TCP/IP networks, suitable for monitoring and control applications.
Generic Object-Oriented Substation Events (GOOSE), a subset of IEC 61850: Facilitates high-speed messaging for real-time applications within substations, ensuring rapid exchange of critical information such as status changes and alarms.
IEC 60870-5-104 (over TCP/IP): Standard for telecontrol (telemetry and tele protection) and telecommunication protocols in electrical engineering, enabling reliable data exchange between control centers and substations.
Additionally, NetSim interfaces with any protocol that operates over TCP/IP, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of communication standards used in power systems.
