In view of the problem that the flow of intelligent substation traffic scheduling increases, resulting in the transmission delay also increases, this paper proposed a joint optimization method of Time Sensitive Network (TSN) path selection and scheduling, which combines the resource sensing K-Shortest Path Algorithm (KPA) path selection algorithm and the constraint based gating method. This method can select an optimal transmission path for TT flows and plan the transmission path for non TT flows. Based on the scheduling mechanism of TSN, constraints and optimization objective functions are established, and a gating scheduling method based on constraints is proposed. Finally, the test and verification platform of the scheme is designed and built. Through the test and verification platform, the data stream transmission delay and delay jitter of the scheme are analyzed, and the algorithms are compared and analyzed from the aspects of running time and schedulability. With the continuous evolution of the follow-up TSN technology and the in-depth promotion of the power industry, more and more TSN key technologies will be applied to the smart grid.
