More Information
Summary:Disclosed are adaptive communication assisted protection and control. Local intelligent electronic devices (lEDs) associated with local switching devices and having unique IDs may transmit switch status and unique IDs to an area lED. The area lED may calculate topology using switch status, and provide control information to local lEDs using the topology. The area lED may communicate the unique ID of the local lED calculated to be immediately upstream of each local lED and, upon detection of a fault, the local lEDs may send blocking signals that include the received unique ID of the lED immediately upstream therefrom. The area lED may communicate control commands that include the unique IDs and control commands for the local lEDs to take the control action. Upon matching of the unique ID in the control command with its own unique ID, the local lEDs may take the control action and transmit remaining actions.
