摘要

This study investigates an implemented smart grid communication stack based on the Open Smart Grid Protocol (OSGP), an up-to-date architecture used to explicitly address interoperability, cybersecurity, resilience and market integration issues in today’s power systems. The paper builds on the IEC 61850 standard, which is in widespread use for power substation automation, by defining an architecture that leverages IEC 61850 capabilities to cover distributed energy resources (DERs), electric vehicles (EVs) and microgrids. Their relevance has been demonstrated through various technologies, such as Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) for low latency, AI-based intrusion detection in cybersecurity context, blockchain in green energy market participation context and edge computing with high resilience. The modular architecture is designed to simply grow and evolve along with the rapidly increasing complexity of smart grids. The report summarises a concept of operation and provides a technical description of an integrated prototype for interprotocol interoperability, enhanced cybersecurity and self-healing capabilities. The performance of the designed system is validated through test scenarios which include a cyberattacks simulation and protocol translation. At the end, we emphasized that this type of architecture can evolve smart grid communication systems to a high performance, security and scalability level.
