MONITORING AND CONTROL
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the invention
The present invention relates to systems and methods for local power distribution device monitoring and control using a dedicated embedded web server. More specifically, the invention relates to monitoring local power distribution devices using distributed network (DNP) protocol and transmitting local power distribution device operating status information using a dedicated embedded web server.
Description of the Prior Art
In existing systems for monitoring and controlling an electrical distribution network, a substation will monitor local power distribution devices. The substation and the local power distribution devices typically communicate using DNP protocol over a low to medium speed network such as, for example, a wireless network (typically 9600 baud).
A drawback of existing substations is that they lack the ability to quickly and consistently update utility control centers with the local power distribution device operating status. The local power distribution device operating status includes status information about equipment installed at the local power distribution device such as, for example, voltage and current measurements, power, operations counts, time record data, transformer temperature and oil level, and switch and circuit breaker status (open or closed, etc.). It is important for control centers to be updated quickly with the local power distribution device operating status because those devices may often be a great distance from a control center. Thus, it would be a great improvement in the art to enable a substation to communicate with local power distribution devices over existing low to medium speed networks using the established DNP protocol and to communicate with main control centers using a higher speed communication channel.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is directed to systems and methods for local power distribution device monitoring and control using a dedicated embedded web server. A gateway located at the substation comprises a local power distribution connection device and a dedicated embedded web server. The local power distribution connection device provides access to local power distribution devices using DNP protocol over a low to medium speed network such as, for example, a wireless network. The dedicated embedded web server maps the local power distribution device operating status information onto displayable pages and transmits the local power distribution device operating status information using TCP/IP protocol to a web browser operating at a control center. The dedicated embedded web server is also capable of receiving from the control center control commands issued in response to the local power distribution device operating status information. The gateway relays control commands from the dedicated embedded web server to the local power distribution devices.

Web browser 140 may be any web browser device such as, for example, a web browser running on a personal computer. Such a personal computer may be located at a utility's main control center or in a mobile control unit.
The web browser operator may issue control commands in response to local power distribution device operating status information. Control commands may consist of operation instructions for equipment installed at local power distribution devices 120 such as, for example, commands to open or close a switch, commands for transformer tap change, or commands to shut off or turn on power. Control commands are received at dedicated embedded web server 114b and are then transmitted to local power distribution devices 120 through local connection device 114a.
Figure 2 is a flow chart of an illustrative method for substation monitoring and control in accordance with an aspect of the invention. At step 210, local power distribution connection device 114a monitors the operating status of local power distribution devices 120. At step 212, dedicated embedded web server 114b maps local power distribution device operating status information onto predefined standards based markup language pages.
At step 214, dedicated embedded web server 114b transmits local power distribution device operating status information over wide area network 130 to web browser 140 using TCP/IP protocol. At step 216, web browser 140 receives local power distribution device operating status information. At step 218, web browser 140 issues a control command in response to the local power distribution device operating status information. At step 220, the control command is received by dedicated embedded web server 114b. At step 222, the control command is relayed to a local power distribution device 120 through local power distribution connection device 114a. At step 224, the control command is received and implemented by local power distribution device 120.
