A UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS BASED SYSTEM FOR PROTECTION, CONTROL AND MONITORING OF AN ELECTRICAL GRID

摘要

A system for protection, control and monitoring of an electrical grid is presented. The system includes at least one grid module to sense at least one electrical measurement from the electrical grid and/or to implement an electrical condition in the electrical grid; a central processing module to communicate with the grid module i.e. to receive information corresponding to the electrical measurement sensed by the grid module and/or to convey a command to the grid module corresponding to the electrical condition to be implemented in the electrical grid; and an interface module connected between the grid module and the central processing module. The interface module converts the information from analog form to digital form or converts the command from digital form to analog form. The communication between the interface module and the central processing module is based on Universal Serial Bus architecture.
