Power distribution monitoring system based on CDMA communication

Solution
This paper proposes a power distribution monitoring system based on CDMA design
principle and implementation scheme, briefly introduces the basic knowledge of CDMA
technology, describes the CDMA wireless transmission method to realize the remote data
monitoring application.Through practical application, to obtain the ideal effect.
1 . Foreword
With the development of science and technology to achieve low-voltage distribution
network has become a trend in the power system automation development. Low-voltage
distribution network as the last link in the transmission and distribution system, and its
implementation is closely related to the degree of automation and the quality and reliability
of electricity supply. To this end, the need for network automation special article on
low-voltage distribution and its implementation as a simple discussion.
Distribution transformers are assigned directly to low-voltage electrical energy user
electrical equipment, its operation data is an important part of the whole distribution
network underlying data. Thus, monitoring its operating parameters and states are
necessary. This article discusses the use of CDMA as a means of communication, the
establishment of distribution transformer monitoring system.
In the communication distribution transformer monitoring system, you can use digital radio,
GSM SMS, fiber access and other means. Radio data transmission advantage is in
addition to the annual frequency fee, usually run at no additional charge; the disadvantage
is greatly influenced by topography, climate, resulting in system reliability, real-time poor,
unable to take the initiative to report. GSM short message can take the initiative to report;
drawback is that Article charges, high operating costs, but also in the short message
center server busy holiday for a long delay. Reliable fiber-optic communications, but
construction costs into a large, poor scalability, equipment maintenance inconvenient. The
CDMA communication will avoid the above problems.
CDMA is a number of new wireless data transmission services, the purpose is to provide
users with high-speed wireless IP or X.25 service. CDMA theoretical bandwidth of up
171.2Kbit / s, the actual application bandwidth is about 40 ~ 100Kbit / s, in this channel to
provide TCP / IP connection, can be used to connect INTERNET, data transmission
applications. CDMA uses packet switching technology, each user can simultaneously
occupy multiple radio channels, the same radio channel can be shared by multiple users,
resources are used effectively. CDMA allows users to send and receive data at end packet
transfer mode, without the need to use circuit-switched mode network resources. CDMA
always online, according to traffic accounting, thus providing an efficient, low-cost wireless
packet data services. Especially suitable for intermittent, sudden and frequent many
points scattered, small traffic data, but also to the occasional large data transfers.
2 , the system structure
Development objectives distribution transformer integrated management system is to
create a safe and reliable and can provide a variety of advanced services, and promising
application execution and implementation capabilities provide a strong platform and open
the platform to run multiple independent system application subsystems, to become a

modern management system in line with the distribution requirements, distributed, open,
modular, scalable distribution transformer integrated management system. In addition to
the basic platform to provide basic hardware technologies and operating system kernel,
but also to provide basic services such as database systems, information transmission,
human-machine interface, real-time environment applications. Each application based on
the underlying platform subsystem includes: distribution transformers management, line
loss management, automatic meter reading, VQC function, harmonic data, available
power management, data query, automatic reports, charts, and interfaces with other
systems . Among these subsystems organically horizontal and vertical integration in open
systems architecture (OSA) form the basis for a complete distribution transformer
integrated management information system.
CDMA Network Architecture distribution transformer monitoring system as shown below,
the system is divided into four parts, which are master control center, network proxy,
CDMA data transmission terminal, control terminal equipment. Master main complete
interactive work; network proxy server is mainly responsible for network data link
establishment and data transceiver transparent transit; on CDMA data transmission
terminal is completed and sent messages issued; monitoring terminal equipment mainly to
complete the digital and analog acquisition.

This system can be used in a network proxy ADSL, LAN and other INTELNET public
network connection, using the public network fixed IP or dynamic public IP + DNS
resolution service, for security reasons, the monitoring center master station LAN, not
directly connected INTERNET, through the network proxy server for network data link
establishment and the transparent transfer of data sent and received.
After power on data transmission terminal CDMA, it will take the initiative to access the
network proxy server based on pre-set in its internal IP address or domain name, set up

TCP / IP link through a proxy server and the monitoring center. Monitoring center master
station itself maintains access to IP address and ID number for each terminal, when the
master would like to propose a monitoring terminal data request, it will be based on IP
address and ID number to find the corresponding terminal, the command sent to the
terminal after the terminal responds with GRPS data transmission terminal to send data to
the network proxy server port forwarding through the port alluding to the master control
center, which completed a reply -like communication flow.
The above approach is implemented through the Internet, so that the user to achieve cost
is relatively low. If you need high reliability of data transfer. China Unicom for such
application provides direct access to CDMA networks. Direct access to the monitoring
center master station Unicom CDMA base station through the green way, and get a fixed
IP address. Monitoring sites and data without routing to the Internet network, monitoring
points DTU also uses SIM card fixed IP addresses. In this way the composition of the
point to multipoint networks with real-time, high security, but the relatively high access
fees.
