Summary

With the surge of new data services in smart grids, traditional MPLS-based power data networks encounter three challenges. First, the inability to monitor and visualize the SLA status of services in real time leads to passive fault responses, increasing the risk of service disruptions. Second, traditional shortest-path-first (SPF) algorithms cannot guarantee the SLA requirements of critical services. Third, the static bandwidth allocation mechanism fails to ensure performance of high-bandwidth applications such as intelligent inspection.

To address these issues, this paper proposes the integration of IPv6+ and SDN technologies into power data networks, detailing the overall architecture and technical solutions. Results of implementation in China Southern Power Grid ( CSG ) show that the average end-to-end latency compliance rate for services reaches 100%. In addition, network throughput could be increased by 200% or more in case of traffic burst.
