Abstract

In some embodiments, a method for transferring data in a power system includes an energy management system assigning a different service number to each of types of data, transferring a service number corresponding to specific data from a server to the energy management system, transferring the data corresponding to the transferred service number from the energy management system in a broadcast manner, and the server receiving the data transferred from the energy management system in the broadcast manner.

Claims

1. A method for transferring different types of data in a power system, the method comprising:

assigning, by an energy management system including a processor, a different service number to each type of data which the energy management system can exchange with a server, wherein the energy management system includes a communication module;

transferring a service number corresponding to data from the server to the energy management system;

transferring the data corresponding to the transferred service number from the energy management system by broadcasting the data; and

receiving, by the server, the data transferred from the energy management system by broadcasting the data,

wherein the transferring of the data corresponding to the transferred service number comprises;

adding a service number of the data to the data and transferring the data;

wherein the receiving of the data comprises;

the server checking the service number of the transferred data;

determining whether the checked service number is a service number requested by the server;

receiving, when the checked service number is the service number requested by the server, the data transferred from the energy management system; and

not receiving, when the checked service number is not the service number requested by the servers, the data transferred from the energy management system, and wherein the method further comprises;

transferring, by the server, when the data for the server to request from the energy management system is changed, information regarding a service number deleted from previously transferred service numbers and a newly added service number to the energy management system, and

modifying, by the energy management system, previously transferred data using the received information.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the data comprises at least one of:

power generation amount data comprising at least one of;

a generator level, a substation level or an area level;

result data comprising computation data of EMS-SCADA programs;

EMS-power application result data;

logic status data of a point changed by the energy management system, the logic status data comprising at least one of;

a manual value, flag setting, tag setting, or prohibition of scan;

physical status data about apparatuses;

or

system status data.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein assigning the different service number comprises:

assigning a service group number to each type of data, and

the method further comprises;

transferring, when each type of data is assigned the different service number and the service group number, information about the assigned service number or service group number to the server.

4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

determining, when the service number for requesting transfer of the data is received from the server, whether server access is allowed according to a predetermined security condition,

wherein the predetermined security condition comprises at least one of;

an IP address of the server having transferred the service number or a number of servers allowed to be registered.

5. A power system for transferring data, comprising:

a plurality of servers configured to transfer, to an energy management system, service numbers corresponding to data for the servers to request; and

the energy management system configured to transfer the data requested by the servers to the servers, wherein the energy management system includes a processor, wherein the energy management system includes a communication module,

wherein the energy management system is further configured to assign different service numbers to types of all data transferrable to the plurality of the servers,

wherein, when the service numbers are received from the plurality of servers, the energy management system is further configured to register services requested by the plurality of servers, select the data to be transferred, and transfer the data corresponding to the service numbers by broadcasting the data,

wherein the data transferred from the energy management system contains service numbers corresponding to the data,

wherein each of the servers receives the transferred data and selectively receives data corresponding to the service number requested by each of the servers, using the service numbers contained in the received data,

wherein the servers are configured to transfer, when the data for the servers to request from the energy management system is changed, information regarding a service number deleted from previously transferred service numbers and a newly added service number to the energy management system, and

wherein the energy management system is configured to modify previously transferred data using the received information.

6. The power system according to claim 5, wherein, when the energy management system is further configured to receive, from a server, a service number for requesting data, determine whether access of the server requesting transfer of the data is allowed according to a predetermined security condition, and selectively register the service number for requesting data according to the determination,

wherein the predetermined security condition comprises at least one of:

an IP address of the server having transferred the service number or a number of the servers allowed to be registered.
