The invention relates to a method of functioning of the power of the automated system, which is made with the possibility to control and/or control of electric networks of power supply and energy automated system has a local processing unit that contains at least one program when it is executed provides functions for managing and/or control the supply network, local processing unit through the first means of communication is connected with many automation devices, which are made with the possibility of registration of production data that describes the operating status of the supply network, and/or for the generation or transmission of control data, suitable for network management of energy supply, and local device data through the second means of communication are connected to at least one remote storage device where you saved at least one software component that is necessary to perform at least one program.

Appropriate energy automated systems offered by the applicant, for example, under the trademark “Power Spectrum CC”. When it comes to software components and hardware for use in network control centers to manage and/or control of electric power supply networks. Known energy automated system has at least one local device data that the user when executing one or more of data processing programs ("programs") provides functions for managing and/or control of electrical supply network. For this purpose through local processing unit can be custom entries through appropriate means of input (such as a mouse, keyboard, touch screens), while through appropriate means of conclusion, as, for example, displays, monitors or projection panel, the user is passed on information about the state of electrical supply network. Mentioned executable local device data processing programs serve in this case, for example, in order to carry out installation and configuration, simulation and/or forecasts and assessment of the current or past operating conditions of electrical supply network. In addition, the system displays the settings that are relevant to the management mode of operation, characterizing the operating status of the power network of the power supply (for example, characteristics of current and voltage). The user can also take control actions to influence the main components of electric supply network. Along with these, only examples functions of the program can also provide any other control functions and/or control.

Usually energy automated system consists not of a single device data, and from a variety of interlinked components, in which case it may refer, for example, on local and remotely located devices, data processing, and storage devices. While local device data processing or storage device placed in the immediate proximity to each other - for example, even in the same building, - between the local and remote devices, and data storage devices often have large spatial remove; this is, for example, takes place in the case when the remote device data processing or storage devices are placed in remote control centers, switching stations or data centers.

It can often happen that the program to be executed on the local device data processing power of the automated system are required software components that are saved on spatial remote storage devices. In the case of such software components, it may refer, for example, about library files, current and retained the characteristics of measured values, the archives of the data of measured values, control inputs and/or sent messages that sometimes have large amounts of data. To run the program on the local device data would have had to date is first of all contained on remote storage devices software components through the second means of communication be transmitted from a remote storage devices on the local processing unit and there during the start-up phase of the program loads, for example, in working memory, to run a program with the use of software components. In particular, the process of the transfer of certain software components on the local processing unit may require a relatively long time, and thereby to noticeably slow down the process of launching the program.

Therefore, the basis of the invention lies with the task to suggest a method of functioning of the power of the automated system of the above type, in which the time interval starting phase of the program on the local device data processing can be reduced. Should be offered appropriate energy automated system.

To resolve this task in relation to the method, the method of the above type, which in local storage device associated with the local processing unit, contains a copy of at least one a software component that is required to complete at least one program, local processing unit at start-run at least one program checks whether existing on the local storage device, a copy of at least one software component is stored in a remote storage device software component, and if it matches, the processing unit performs at least one program using at least one copy of the software component, and if there is no match at least one software component calls from at least one remote storage device, and performs at least one program with application caused at least one software component.

The basis of the invention is the idea that a significant shortening of the start-up phase of the programme can be achieved on the local processing unit, if the relevant required software components available on a local storage device associated with the local processing unit, located in spatial proximity to the local device data or even the built-in his case. Thus may not transfer at least one software component on the local device data processing, in particular responsible for the prolongation of the start-up phase. To do this on a local storage device contains copies of the required software components that are in a relatively short time to start the execution of the program can be made available for local data processing units.

However, only one local save a copy of all necessary software components is not enough to guarantee the proper functioning of the energy of the automated system. On the contrary, must be guaranteed that the local copies of the software components to the program coincide with their originals, i.e. the above software components on remote storage devices. For that local storage unit controls whether locally stored copy of the necessary software components with the appropriate software components, and runs the program using local copies of at least one software component, if it matches. In this case can thus be faster startup programs. If there is no match to guarantee the proper functioning of at least one original software component is loaded from at least one remote storage device. Therefore, in the latter case, for the proper execution of program it is necessary to take into account respectively extended launch phase.

According preferred execution of the relevant invention of the method provided that the local device data to check whether existing on the local storage device, a copy of at least one software component stored in a remote storage device, at least one software component that specifies the first option of labeling, which is suitable for identification available on a local storage device copies of at least one software component, and causes of, at least one remote storage device, the second parameter of labeling, which is suitable for identification stored on at least one remote storage device, at least one software component, and local processing unit compares both the marking to each other.

In this way, the matching can be done relatively simply and with minor want to send data, as between, at least one remote mass storage device and the local device data shall only be transferred corresponding second parameter marks for at least one software component.

Specifically in this context can, for example, provide that as the first and the second parameter marking applies timestamp that indicates the time of the relevant recent changes corresponding to at least one software component.

Through the use timestamp or a hash value can be relatively easy to form the option of marking to the appropriate copy of the software component or the appropriate software component. This parameter marking allows, on the one hand, good identification of the appropriate component or the appropriate copy of the software component and, on the other hand, includes a small amount of data for fast data transfer.

According preferred execution of the relevant invention of the method provided that the local device data if there is no match available in local storage device up at least one software component replaces caused at least one software component with the formation of a new copy of at least one software component.

In this case revealed the deviation between the relevant copy of the software component and the corresponding software component effectively caused by a software component is saved as a new copy of the software component in local storage device, so when you next start run programs on a local device data, you can contact directly to the updated copies of the software component. Local copy of the same, due designed actualization, with a relatively high probability of original software component on the remote storage device.

According to another preferred form of carrying out of the invention of the method, in addition, provides that local processing unit at start-run at least one program first checks whether there is in General in a local storage device copy of at least one software component, and local device data when there is no copy of at least one software component, immediately causes at least one software component of at least one remote storage device.

Due to this test, essentially proactive, can be determined is whether it is rational to perform the check a local copy of at least one software component on the relevance, such as checking for the case when no copies of the software component in local storage device (for example, when you first start of the program), of course, is unnecessary. In this case, you can disable scanning of the match, and the appropriate software component can immediately to boot from a remote storage device.

According to another preferred the form of carrying out of the invention of the method is provided that during the execution of the program the local processing unit at least once checks whether the still existing on a local storage device, a copy of at least one software component stored on at least one remote storage device, at least one piece of software and if there is no match at least one software component called from at least one remote storage device, and available in local storage device copy of at least one component is replaced caused at least one software component with the formation of a new copy of at least one software component.

Thus it is possible, especially during long run programs or frequently changing software components to ensure that the next time the program is run with a relatively high probability of local storage device, you will have the actual copy of the software component. This way you can advance to the next phase of already run in the background during the execution of the program to update the copy of the software component on a local storage device. For example, updating a local copy of at least one software component can occur during program execution at regular intervals or upon completion of the program.

According to another preferred form of carrying out of the invention of the method is stipulated that to complete at least one program requires a number of software components that saved on at least one remote storage device, and local storage device contains the appropriate number of copies of many software components, local processing unit with respect to all copies of the software components and all the software components checks for a match, and if there is no match in respect of at least one component is causing all the software components from at least one remote storage device.

Due to this, it is guaranteed that the deviation is only one component always all necessary software components are loaded from at least one remote storage device. In this case, in particular, reduced the cost of checking for the match between the respective software components and available copies of software components, as when they first revealed the deviation of the test can be interrupted and all software components are loaded from at least one remote storage device.

In alternatively this can also be stipulated that to complete at least one program requires a number of software components that are saved on at least one remote storage device, and local storage device contains the appropriate number of copies of many software components, local processing unit with respect to all copies of the software components and all the software components checks for a match, and if there is no match calls the appropriate software component of at least one remote storage device.

In this form of execution only those software components are loaded from at least one remote storage devices for which there are a deviation from the copies of the above software component in local storage device. In other words, only actually not relevant local copy of the software components are replaced with actual software components. The actual copies of the software components are then used to run the program, while instead is no longer relevant copies are downloaded original software components.

The use of the last-mentioned examples of the implementation of suitable, in particular, in the case of software components with a relatively large amount of data, as this is actually only really necessary software components must be passed through the second means of communication.

Regarding the energy of the automated system of the above problem is solved by the energy of the automated system for management and/or control of electrical networks with local processing unit that contains at least one program when it is executed provides functions for managing and/or control the electricity network, the first of the communications means by which the local device data processing is connected with many automation devices, which are made with the possibility of registration of production data that describes the operating status of the supply network, and/or the generation or transmission of control data suitable for network management of energy supply, and second channels of communication, through which the local processing unit is connected to at least one remote storage device where you saved at least one software component that is necessary to perform at least one program.

In accordance with the invention, provided that the energy automated system has a capability of the method according to any of p. 1-9 of the claims.

According to the preferred form of execution of the relevant invention energy automated system provided that the first and the second means of communication are physically different communication means.

The first means of communication can be made in the form of data buses to station management tools or network management tools, and the second means of communication - in the form of a communication network that connects individual switching stations and network control.

Alternatively, it may be provided that the first and second means of communication is established joint physical communication tool.

In this case, communication is achieved, on the one hand, between the local unit data processing and automation devices and, on the other hand, between the local processing unit and at least one remote storage device on the same physical communication device.

Energy automated system may specifically to accommodate, for example, in a switching station or network device control the supply network.

Local device 11 data processing, in addition, is connected with local storage device 16, which is placed either in the case of local devices 11 data (such as the internal hard drive), or is in close proximity to the local device 11 data processing and connected to it via a data connection, high-throughput data transfer.

Local device 11 data provides at least one program that, when executed, it performs functions for management and/or check the supply network. These functions can be done automatically or with user management.

Provided by the local unit 11 data processing program may, for example, to represent a program that is suitable for the user to indicate parameters which are relevant for the management, operation, characterizing the operating status of the power network of the power supply (for example, characteristics of current and voltage), and/or convert initiated by the user or automatically control actions to impact the primary components of electrical supply network. In addition, such programmes may, for example, allow the user to perform the installation and configuration, for example, in the primary components of the supply network or devices 13 automation, perform modeling fictitious working conditions and/or forecasts of future operating conditions of electrical supply network, and also to carry out assessments of the current or previous working state supply network. Along with these, for example only shows the functions of the program can also provide other control functions and/or validation.

To run the program on a local device 11 data processing needs of individual software components, of which at least one is saved on one of the remote storage devices 15A, 15b 15C. In a distributed computer network, as it is often used for energy automated systems, it is not uncommon that some of the necessary software components stored on remote storage devices. In the case of such software components, it may refer, for example, about library files, historical and current characteristics measured values, arrays of data banks weather information, data banks expert data, and the data archives with measured values, control inputs and/or sent messages, which sometimes have large amounts of data.

With reference to Fig. 2 we will describe the method by which, despite the existence of separate software components on remote storage devices 15A, 15b 15C, start run programs on a local device 11 data can be significantly accelerated.

To do this, Fig. 2 shows the diagram of the sequence of operations separate stages, which at start run programs on a local device 11 data processing. To simplify first, it is assumed that to run programs mentioned only need one software component that, for example, has on a remote storage device 15b. However, the following method is also applicable to many software components that are stored on one or more remote storage devices.

First phase 230 trigger the launch of the above-mentioned program on the local device 11 data processing. This can be done, for example, by user input or through the automatic call the program from another program is already running local device 11 data processing. To run the program the necessary software component that is stored on a remote storage device 15b.

At the first stage, 21 check local device 11 data checks whether a copy of the above software component on a local storage device 16. If this is the case, it is the next step 22 review, under which the local device 11 data checks whether a copy of the above software component current version, or a copy is obsolete because of changes to the original software component on the external storage device 15b. To perform validation according to the stage of 22 local device 11 data compares the copy of the above software component, available on a local storage device 16, on the basis of suitable criteria with the original software component on the external storage device 15b.

Specifically, the purpose of this test can be envisaged that through the local device 11 data processing is formed by the first parameter of labeling, which is suitable for identification copies of the above software component, available on a local storage device 16. Accordingly determined by the second parameter of labeling, which is suitable for identification of appropriate software component, which is stored in a remote storage device 15b. The second parameter marking is passed on to the local device 11 data processing.

As the first and second parameters marking, which are suitable for identification of a software component or copies of the software component that can for example be used timestamps, which indicate the time of last modification of a software component. Significant opportunities for comparison is that in connection with the copy of the software component is saved timestamp relative to the last changes of the software component (not copies). By comparing the timestamp copies of the software component (the first parameter marks) with a time stamp of a software component (second parameter marking) can be checked whether both timestamps.

If you set a match, it can be concluded that the original software component on the remote storage device 15b since retain a copy of the software component in local storage device 16 has not been modified, and a copy of the software component is, therefore, up to date.

If a match is not installed, that is the timestamp of the original software component on the remote storage device 15b - usually more recent point in time than the timestamp copies of the software component, available on a local storage device 16, it can be concluded about outdated copies of the software component on a local storage device 16.

Another good opportunity for parameter definition masking is that through the so-called hash function as the first parameter marks to form a "hash value" (also referred to as a "hash") copies of the software component, and as the second parameter marking the hash value of a software component. When applying a hash function through the hash values displayed a relatively large amount of data, which includes fewer data. Both the hash values are compared by the local unit 11 data with each other. If verification by the local device 11 data indicates that the hash value of a software component and copies of the software component is the same, the copy of the software component is updated. If there is no match copy of the software component is outdated.

The use of the option of labelling, such as timestamp or a hash value provides the advantage of the fact that for verification whether a copy of the software component in local storage device 16 in date, you must upload only relatively small amounts of data between your device 11 data processing and remote storage device 15b. Due to this checking is relatively fast.

If conducted at the stage of 22 test shows that locally available a copy of the software component is up to date (output "Yes", then according to the following stage 23 following the launch of the program on the local device 11 data processing is done using locally available copies of the software component. Through the application of copies of the software component, available in local storage device 16, the start-up phase between the initiation of the program to run before its proper implementation is considerably shortened, because the necessary software component is not required to request from a remote storage device 15b. In particular, if by the second communication of 14 is possible only relatively slow communication connection, or mentioned software component has a large amount of data, as this can occur, for example, in the case of characteristic stored measurements, using locally available copies of the software component, the start-up phase, significantly shortened.

Finally, at the stage 24 caused the program properly executed local device 11 data processing.

If the test is at the stage of the 22 inspections, on the contrary, shows that the copy of the software component, available in local storage device is 16, not relevant, for example, because the appropriate settings labeling software component and copies of the software component does not match, then the local device 11 data at the stage of 25 causes the download required software components from a remote storage device 15b. The said software component needs to be transferred between a remote storage device 15b and local device 11 data by other means of communication 14.

The next step 26 called from a remote storage device 15b software component is saved on the local storage device 16 instead of (outdated) copy of the software component, with the formation updated accordingly a new copy of the above software component.

Shown in Fig. 2 stages 21 (check whether there is in General a local copy of the software component) and 26 (replacement of locally available copies caused by a software component) are not necessarily required to perform the described method and can be omitted. However, they contribute more to accelerate this process.

In addition, can be optionally provided that during the execution of the program on the local device 11 data at least once checked is whether the copy of the software component available on a local storage device 16, even coincide with the original software component, available on a remote storage device 15b, and when the detected deviation original software component in the background is called from a remote storage device 15b and (obsolete) copy of the software component in local storage device 16 is replaced caused by a software component. Through this optional forms of implementation significantly increases the probability that the next time the program is run on the local device 11 data in local storage device 16 will have the actual copy of the software component, and the phase of starting the program using this actual copies of the software component can run in abbreviated form. This last described optional method of action Fig. 2 for clarity, the drawing is not presented. Check may, however, be carried out according to the validation performed on the stage of the 22 inspections, for a more detailed explanation, you can reference the implementation described for step 22 checks.

The above description was limited for simplicity that to start executing the program, you only need one software component that is available on a remote storage device 15b. However, usually for the execution of a program takes several software components, of which at least some are on one or more of remote storage devices 15A, 15b 15C.

In this case, according to the first form of execution can be provided that for each required component is described in Fig. 2 way and, if the deviation with respect to only one of the above software component, all software components - regardless of whether other copies in the actual form or not, are called from the corresponding remote storage device, 15A, 15b 15C. In other words, if only one copy of the software component is recognized as irrelevant, because it deviates from the original software components available on the corresponding remote storage device, 15A, 15b 15C, all the necessary software components are loaded from the corresponding remote storage devices 15A, 15b 15C. This option is suitable, in particular, in the case when to run the program requires a lot of small software components and accordingly checking according to the stage of the 22 inspections would have led to a relatively high proportion of the time in the start-up phase of the programme, while the transfer of the required software components from the corresponding remote storage device, 15A, 15b 15C on the local device 11 data due to small volumes of data would require relatively little time. By means of this form of execution in advance interrupted testing according to stage of 22 may thus prevent require high time costs checked for relevance.

Alternatively, this according to the second variant, however, also may stipulate that for each software component separately checked is whether the copy of the software component, available on a local storage device 16, relevant, and only those software components really are loaded for which the audit revealed the deviation. This form of execution is suitable, in particular, with a small number of required software components with relatively large amounts of data, as this temporary duration for inspection according to the stage of the 22 inspections would be relatively small share of the start-up phase, while the transfer of each individual software components with the corresponding remote storage device, 15A, 15b 15C on the local device 11 data would lead to a relatively high share of time in boot phase. By transferring only really required software components from the corresponding remote storage device, 15A, 15b 15C on the local device 11 data processing and further use copies of the software components available in local storage device 16-to-date, in this case, you can support the start-up phase of relatively short.

Through this process, in all its forms execution guaranteed that, on the one hand, when available relevant copies of the software component in local storage device 16 for faster start the execution of the program applies this locally available a copy of the software component. On the other hand, it is guaranteed that the program to be executed is always relevant software components, as identified deviation copies of the software component from the component refer to the original software component, available on a remote storage device, 15A, 15b 15C. Thus, in each case that we can guarantee the proper execution of the desired program with the use of appropriate current software component.
