Abstract:
In order to solve the problems of real-time data communication among various components in the small microgrid,this paper proposes a small microgrid communication framework based on Ethernet and RS485 bus.A three-layer control system consisting of distribution agent,microgrid agent and component agent is designed using the Modbus/UDP protocol between distribution and microgrid agent and Modbus RTU protocol between microgrid and component agent.This work presents both the software and hardware design of the Ethernet and RS485 serial communication,as well as the Modbus/UDP and Modbus RTU protocol conversion unit.The experimental results show that the small microgrid control system which uses Ethernet and RS485 bus,can meet the requirements of data transmission rate,real-time and reliability.
