Shared memory architecture for protection of electrical distribution equipment

摘要

A power equipment protection system (102) includes a plurality of trip units (134) including at least a first trip unit (136) and a second trip unit (138), wherein each of the plurality of trip units (134) is configured to monitor operation data. The system also includes a shared memory device (122) coupled to the plurality of trip units (134) via a network (114), wherein the shared memory device (122) is configured to transmit a synchronization request to at least the second trip unit (138), receive a response from the second trip unit (138), including operation data associated with the second trip unit (138), receive a data request from the first trip unit (136), and transmit the operation data associated with the second trip unit (138) to the first trip unit (136) via the network (114).
