CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD OF COMMUNICATIONS IN AN ELECTRIC INFRASTRUCTURE
First Claim
1. A method of control of power consumption of communications between nodes of an intra-substation or an inter-substations communication network of an electrical infrastructure, the nodes of an intra-substation communication network being formed by electrical equipment within the substation, the nodes of an inter-substations communication network being formed by the substations themselves, a node belonging to an intra-substation or an inter-substations communication network being called an electrical module, wherein the method comprises the following steps:
- definition of a star-shaped communication network by partitioning the electrical modules between a central module, called master module, and a set of slave modules, the master module being set up to be connected to the slave modules by non-wireline communications links in star pattern, andregulation of the power levels of communications links at least in a direction of reception by the master module from at least one slave module or by at least one slave module from the master module, said regulation of the power levels being processed according to a generic process modelling the communications links.

Abstract
A method and a system of control of power consumption of communications between electrical modules of an electrical infrastructure, including a star-shaped communication network between a central module, or master module, and a set of slave modules, the master module being set up to be connected to the slave modules by non-wireline communications links in a star pattern, and a processing circuit set up to regulate the power levels of communications links at least in a direction of reception by the master module from at least one slave module or by at least one slave module from the master module.
