Abstract: With the promotion of smart substations, the power system adopts reliable, integrated, and environmentally friendly smart equipment, relying on the digitization of station-wide information, standardization of information sharing, and networking of communication platforms to automatically complete the collection, measurement, protection, and monitoring of substation equipment information. For basic functions such as control, the traditional "visible" and "tangible" secondary circuit has become an "invisible" and "tangible" "black box", which increases the uncontrollability of substation operation, maintenance and maintenance. , this paper proposes a research plan for an intelligent substation operation and maintenance management platform. It can remotely control and control the substation relay protection. Enable remote online monitoring and intelligent operation and maintenance management of operation and maintenance stations and maintenance work areas.

2.Application

It is applicable to the new construction, expansion and reconstruction of power distribution operation and maintenance system in telecommunication, finance, transportation, energy, medical and health care, culture and sports, education and scientific research, agriculture, forestry and water conservancy, commercial services, public utilities, electronic industrial park and other industries.

3.platform structure

Analysis and application of unattended substation operation and maintenance cloud platform-1

A set of intelligent gateway is installed in the substation distribution room to collect the data of intelligent equipment in the substation room, and after protocol conversion, compression and encryption, it is uploaded at regular intervals or uploaded to the platform in a triggered manner. The platform can complete the data exchange of all the intelligent equipments in the substation and distribution room, and it can real-time monitor the operation status of transformers, circuit breakers, and other important operating equipments in the substation; it can real-time monitor the operation data of the circuits in the substation and distribution room as well as the digital quantities of the ambient temperatures etc.; and the communication and management unit is connected with the plant's local area network (LAN) and passes the data to the data center.

AcrelCloud-1000 substation operation and maintenance cloud platform provides user profiles, power data monitoring, power quality analysis, power consumption analysis, daily, monthly and annual energy consumption data reports, abnormal event alarms and records, operating environment monitoring, equipment maintenance, user reports, Operation and maintenance dispatching and other functions, and supports multi-platform and multi-terminal data access.

The AcrelCloud-1000 substation operation and maintenance cloud platform system can be divided into four layers: perception layer, transmission layer, application layer and display layer.

Perception layer: includes multi-functional instruments, temperature and humidity monitoring devices, cameras, switching quantity acquisition devices, etc. installed in the substation. In addition to the camera, other devices are connected to the RS485 port of the on-site smart gateway through the RS485 bus.

Transport layer: includes on-site intelligent gateways, switches and other equipment. The intelligent gateway actively collects data from on-site device layer devices, performs protocol conversion, data storage, and uploads the data to the designated server port through the switch. When the network fails, the data can be stored locally and resumed from the interrupted location when the network recovers. Upload data to ensure that server-side data is not lost.

Application layer: includes application server and database server. If the number of substations is less than 30, the application server and database server can be configured in one. The server needs to have a fixed IP address to receive data actively sent by each smart gateway.

Display layer: Users access platform information through multiple terminals such as mobile phones, tablets, computers, etc.
