  Abstract

Current power systems are distributed geographically and operated in the form of Energy Management System(EMS)/ Supervision Control and Data Acquisition(SCADA) with the aid of computers and communications. Recently a variety of utilities have had interests in using information technology to bring the efficiency and low operational costs. There is also a trend to integrate the production, transmission, distribution and management/control of power into one and unified distributed system. To this end, Electric Power Research Institute(EPRI) announced a new standard communication protocol called Inter-Control Center Protocol(ICCP). ICCP specifies the use of Manufacturing Message Specification(MMS) for services required by ICCP in application layer and supports the communications between heterogeneous control centers. This paper presents the characteristics of MMS, ICCP and their relationship. Futhermore, we implement the basic functional blocks of ICCP using MMS services under TCP/IP environments. Finally, we model a simple power system and apply the ICCP protocol to this system in a window-based scheme, and finally show the operation and validation of this protocol.
