An Implementation of communication protocol between control centers

전력제어센터간의 ICCP에 구현에 관한 연구

Current power systems are integrated and operated in the form of EMS/SCADA with the development of computer and communication. With this EMS/SCADA system, the production, transmission and distribution of power are effectively operated. But if the communication protocol are different from each other, it is difficult to integrate the whole system. To solve this problem, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) issued new standard communication protocol between control centers named Inter-Control Center Protocol (ICCP). ICCP specifies the use of Manufacturing Message Specification(MMS) for the messaging services needed by ICCP in layer 7 and support the communication between heterogeneous control centers. This study deals the characteristics of ICCP, relation between ICCP and MMS and also implements the data exchange between control centers using ICCP.
