TCP - IP White Papers

A TCP/IP Based Communication Architecture for Distribution Network Operation and Control

Overview Perhaps the most significant new development in data communication of the time is the TCP/IP protocol, which offers the first worldwide accepted standard of data transmission between computer systems. The main attractiveness of this protocol is the availability of cheap infrastructure equipment and protocol software. However, the practical applications of TCP/IP in power distribution network monitoring and control have still been rare. One reason for this is that due to different type of physical transport media the TCP/IP protocol is difficult to implement in a system requiring deterministic behaviour. This is especially the case in geographically widespread network control systems. Concern has also been present about the data security, integrity and reliability.
