2 MultiSync 100 1588 GPS Clock
Why do we need to synchronize our relays?
Relays at all three locations tripped. All three had different times. Are these events related???
3 MultiSync 100 1588 GPS Clock
Definitions
• the marking of an event with respect to a reference origin. GPS time signals, based on the atomic clock in GPS satellites, are the reference origin.
Time
• a measurement of duration between events.Time interval
• a time system adopted in 1972. UTC is based on the weighted combination of atomic clocks located around the world. UTC occasionally changes by the addition of leap seconds.
Coordinated Universal Time
(UTC)
• High-precision atomic coordinate time standard, basis for UTC. 35 seconds ahead of UTC.
International Atomic Time (TAI)
• the measure of the number of events that occur within a time interval, such as the number of oscillations of a voltage waveform within one second
Frequency

GPS
• GPS Satellite Navigation System uses precise time measurements to measure the distance between a receiver and satellites
• GPS satellites use atomic clocks for accuracy
• GPS satellites are the source of timing signals for clock applications
• ±100 nanosecond accuracy
• GPS time is not UTC time• UTC time adds leap seconds,
GPS does not• GPS time is 16 seconds ahead
of UTC

NTP / SNTP
• Network time protocol (NTP) networking protocol for clock synchronization between devices operating over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks.
• Calculates round trip delay• Doesn’t accurately cover
switch delays, network traffic, reconfigurations
• Benefits to NTP• Uses SCADA Ethernet network • Good enough for SOE
• Detriments to NTP• Accuracy in the ms range• Not sufficient for
synchrophasors

IRIG-B • IRIG Formats developed by U.S.
Military• IRIG-B is 1 specific format used in
utility and industrial applications
• IRIG-B is an analog signal• Uses voltage pulses on copper
wire • Pulses indicate time from fractions
of second from midnight, date from January 1st
• Benefits of IRIG-B• Proven• Sub- μs accuracy
• Detriments of IRIG-B• Number of devices, distance
limited by voltage drop• Redundancy difficult• Requires careful wiring design• Must have an antenna for each
clock location

IEEE 1588
IEEE Std. 1588 - 2008 IEEE Standard for a Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol for Networked Measurement and Control Systems.• a.k.a. “PTP” or “Precision Time Protocol”
• Message based protocol for packet based networks
• Nano-second accuracy possible
• Uses TAI time
8 MultiSync 100 1588 GPS Clock
Challenges to network time synch
Ethernet switches• Buffering adds delays• Pause frames add delaysMultiple master clocks possible• Determining the master clock
Network segmentation• Determining the master clock

How 1588 works (peer-to-peer)C37.238
Message based synchronization to measure peer delays
• Best Master Clock (BMC) algorithm determines the best Master to use
• BMC runs continuously for network changes
• Synchronize through message transactions by measuring peer-to-peer delays between devices• Each Peer measures delay
between devices using Pdelay_Req and Pdelay_Resp
• Switches measure queuing delay internally
• Calculations are between devices

Redundant clocks for reliability
• All devices have clocks
• All 1588 clocks run BMC• Will choose best clock source
based on BMC algorithm, switch configuration
• Clock in individual devices will choose the second clock if the first clock is unavailable. • Redundancy for critical
applications like wide area control through synchrophasors, process bus
