IEEE 1588 Time Synchronization
Introduction to IEEE 1588v2 and sufficient background knowledge of the key issue of time synchronization.
In terms of cost, complexity, and reliability compared to various time synchronization methods, the IEEE 1588v2 PTP is a good candidate for a substation synchronization solution. Digital substations require an optimized network architecture that fully integrates all components of the IEC 61850 automation system. This requires that all control and measurement equipment, available from a variety of vendors, be plug-and-play. Many IEC 61850 applications require high timing accuracy and fast or seamless communication redundancy to operate properly and achieve the level of reliability required in power applications.
