Teleprotection poses significant challenges due to stringent latency requirements and the lesser known very tight asymmetrical delay requirements for Current Differential Relaying as utilities modernize telecommunications infrastructure and migrate to packet-based networks. This session focuses on the specific challenges of engineering packet-based systems to support teleprotection, and details the problems posed by tight latency, delay asymmetry as well as the specific implications for network design. The presenter will share techniques and engineering rules to guarantee on-time delivery of teleprotection traffic as compared to a TDM transport network as well as key insights to keep asymmetrical delay under the required specifications from various Relay vendors.
