Traffic Duplication Solutions for Power Utilities for ISM 2013 Slide 12

What is Traffic Duplication? Traffic Duplication sends traffic to both the SONET/SDH network and the Carrier-grade Ethernet network. The duplicated traffic can traverse an existing IP, MPLS or Ethernet network connectivity – improving reliability without increasing expenses. Traffic Duplication can be performed using the Megaplex-4 advanced Hybrid Connectivity capability to transport in parallel identical real-time mission critical traffic streams on both SDH/SONET network as well as on Carrier-grade Ethernet network. Traffic Duplication offers: • Better resiliency • Gradually build up your PSN through the enablement of redundancy • Make available additional bandwidth for non-mission critical IT traffic • Future-proof network readiness for phased or full migration to PSN. The power utility may maintain a dual network topology and gradually migrate to a complete Carrier-grade Ethernet network RAD Confidential Information Solutions for Power Utilities for ISM 2013 Slide 13

Traffic Duplication for Gradual Network Migration SDH/SONET Ethernet Ethernet SDH/SONET • Utility may stay with dual network topology or migrate to complete Ethernet at his choice Solutions for Power Utilities for ISM 2013 Slide 14

Distance TP Solutions for Power Utilities for ISM 2013 Slide 16

Implementation of Distance TP There are 3 typical ways of implementing Teleprotection: 1. Stand alone Teleprotection equipment • ABB, Siemens, Alstom, RFL, Selta , ZIV 2. Teleprotection integrated in distance protection • ABB, Siemens, Alstom, SEL 3. The RAD way: Teleprotection interface included in Telecom equipment Advantages : • All in one technology , reduced wiring compare to stand alone , less equipment so more reliability for the complete protection scheme • Monitoring capacity through an NMS • Enable integration of additional service (Voice and Data) Solutions for Power Utilities for ISM 2013 Slide 17

Teleprotection Communications – Key Performance Criteria (IEC 60834) Transmission Time • Between the moment of change of state at the transmitter input and the receiver output Dependability • Valid commands in the presence of interference and/or noise, by minimizing the probability of missing command (PmC) Security • Preventing false tripping due to a noisy environment, by minimizing the probability of unwanted commands (PuC) Other • Bandwidth consumption and resiliency also impact performance Performance criteria pose a challenge over non-deterministic packet transport and require enhanced, carrier-grade capabilities Solutions for Power Utilities for ISM 2013 Slide 19

Preventing Unwanted/Missed Commands (PUC and PMC) • Command Channel Bring-Up Criteria – E1 Sync – Command Channel Sync – Address Validation – CRC check • In service Command Channel monitoring – Errored Frame – Low BER (10^-3 threshold) – High BER (2 out of 6 frames) • Out Of Service Command Channel – Freeze/Open/Close Solutions for Power Utilities for ISM 2013 Slide 20
