A METHOD OF RUNNING A SUBSTATION OF AN ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM

摘要

A substation device for a substation of an electric power supply system is configured to use device-dependent physical addresses for communication with other substation devices of the substation. The substation device has a processing module for processing the data content of messages. In one embodiment of the invention, the substation device further has an address translating module for translating the device-dependent physical addresses into device-independent virtual addresses and vice versa. The processing module is preferably connected to the address translating module and configured to process messages based on the virtual addresses.
