Nokia/Siemens differential protection test summary

Hitless failover in the mission-critical communication network is key to the electrification of everything. As countries strive to meet the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050, the “electrification of everything” trend is growing — making the stability of the electric grid more important than ever.

Differential protection is a key technology used to protect the integrity of the grid. But it needs a resilient communications network to ensure trips happen reliably during abormal power line conditions. This one-pager summarizes the results of validation testing conducted by Nokia and Siemens on an innovative hitless failover mechanism using active/active IP/MPLS network paths — to enable the continuous supply of energy needed to power the 24/7 electrification of everything.
