Design and Analysis of High Availability Power Grid Dispatching Automation System Based on Virtualization Technology
The power grid dispatching automation system is the nerve center of the strong smart grid, and its safe and stable operation is the strong guarantee of power supply. Power grid dispatching automation system must have high availability and reliability to ensure the uninterrupted operation of system. This paper analyzed the application status of present power grid dispatching automation system and proposed a method based on virtualization technology to realize high availability. It also provided the architecture design of system and the concrete realization method of high availability. With the comparison of new method and existing system, it could be found that new method not only has high availability and fast failure recovery function, but also could greatly increase resource utilization rate of physical machine cluster. Therefore, it can better satisfy the high availability request of power grid dispatching automation system.
