1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTELLIGENT NETWORKS
Intelligent Electrical Grids or "smartgrids" are known to everyone, and not just
specialists/technicians from the electrical sector. Nowadays, it is usual for the press to
publish articles about breakthroughs in this field. The diverse applications of "smartgrids"
are known to all; from demand management thanks to the new smart meters, to the
automation of distribution, the integration of renewable energies and the impact of electric
vehicles in future networks, etc.
To make those applications real, different technologies are required. Those technologies
include telecommunications, which play a fundamental role.
Electricity distribution companies have been deploying telecommunication networks to
provide remote connectivity to all their electrical substations. The new "smartgrid"
applications must provide safe connectivity for Transformation Centres. This aspect poses
an enormous challenge for the telecommunications areas of many electricity distribution
companies, mainly because of the large number of installations and the virtual lack of
connectivity in those installations at the present time.
The automation of transformation centres is therefore a necessary step on the way to
implementing "SmartGrids".
1.2 DRA-2 SOLUTION
To convert the new "smartgrid" applications into a reality, Transformation Centres need
more communications. But what type of information must the new telecommunications
equipment installed by us transmit?.
ZIV is in favour of the DRA-2 universal communication equipment for Medium Voltage
Transformation Centres.

DRA-2
DRA-2 UNIVERSAL COMMUNICATION NODE 7/158
USER GUIDE - Rev.5 (January 2018)
The DRA-2 equipment is designed to transmit the services in a Transformation Centre to
higher levels in the electrical grid, through a wide range of interfaces:
Optical fibre
Medium Voltage Powerline Communications Technology (BPLC and SSPLC interfaces)
Cell technologies (GPRS/UMTS)
ADSL lines
Cable modem
The DRA-2 includes, as standard features, a serial maintenance interface, 6 Fast Ethernet
ports and 2 Gigabit Ethernet SFP bays.
The Fast Ethernet ports are usually used to provide service to the equipment in the
Transformation Centre (TC), such as PLC meter reading concentrators, remote telecontrol
units, protections, fault circuit indicators, cameras or IP phones.
The 2 Gigabit Ethernet SFP bays permit the inclusion of the DRA-2 communication node in
Optical Fibre ring-type topologies, or its use as a high-capacity uplink.
Clients should complete the equipment by selecting the different available interface options
(see section 1.3).
In addition to the switch function (L2), the DRA-2 has IPv4 route capacity (L3), which permits
various operation scenarios:
Option of operating as a switch for Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet and PLC-MV (BPLC)
interfaces.
Routing functionality between two or more configured VLANs, with each VLAN being
made up of a set of local ports (Ethernet / Gigabit Ethernet / BPLC) and WAN interfaces
(GPRS / UMTS / ADSL).
The use of wireless WAN interfaces (GPRS / UMTS) as safety recourse (backup) for the
routing functionality described in the preceding section.
For the routing functions, the equipment supports the use of static (configured by the users)
and dynamic routing information, for which it has the standard RIP and OSPF routing
protocols.

DRA-2
DRA-2 UNIVERSAL COMMUNICATION NODE 8/158
USER GUIDE - Rev.5 (January 2018)
The DRA-2 can be managed locally and remotely, through a console or through a built-in
web server, http or https, SSH connection and Telnet.
The DRA-2 also supports the SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMP3 protocols, as well as other
protocols and services such as DHCP, NTP, TACACS+ and RADIUS.
The DR-2 stores internally an application software backup so that, in case of failure,
equipment operation by running the backup software is guaranteed.

USER GUIDE - Rev.5 (January 2018)
1.3 DRA-2 INTERFACES
One noteworthy aspect of the DRA-2 is its large variety of interfaces, which enables it to
provide a solution to the different topologies present in Transformation Centres. In some
Transformation Centres, PLC-MV technology is the only valid option, whereas in others
optical fibre or even ADSL (PSTN) can be used. Moreover, in cases where none of the
above options can provide sufficient communication, wireless interfaces or cable modem
(HFC modem) can be used.
FIGURE 2 Constitution of the DRA-2 node
The different basic and optional interfaces are integrated into the following three principal
modules (see FIGURE 2):
POWER SUPPLY, CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT AND BASIC LAN INTERFACES.
This is the basic DRA-2 module. As the Central Processing Unit and element that
adapts and controls the peripherals, it carries out advanced Ethernet switching
functions (L2), routing functions, access protocols, flows and congestion controls and
advanced traffic management functions.
It has 6 Fast Ethernet ports in a 10/100Base-Tx configuration.
It has also 2 receptacles for Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceivers.
The power supply is included in the basic module and there are two versions: the first
for use with continuous current of 48 VDC, while the second admits the use of
alternating current and continuous current, but in this case, from a voltage range of
over 80 VDC. Both versions generate the internal supply voltages based on the input
voltage, and have several input filters for protective purposes. The power supply is
protected against reverse polarity.

SERVICE CONSOLE AND WAN INTERFACES OPTION (GPRS/UMTS/ADSL)
This module has a connector known as SRV for accessing the equipment through the
console. That connector is always included as a basic element.
It may also have WAN interfaces, and users must select one of the following options:
- 1 GPRS (2G) with 1 SIM and 1 SMA antenna connector
- 1 GPRS (2G) with 2 SIMs and 1 SMA antenna connector
- 2 GPRS (2G) with 2 SIMs and 2 SMA antenna connectors

- 1 UMTS (3G) with 1 SIM and 1 SMA antenna connector
- 1 UMTS (3G) with 2 SIMs and 1 SMA antenna connector
PLC-MV, ADDITIONAL LAN INTERFACES OR OTHER OPTIONS
This module may be prepared for different types of interface. Users should select one
of the following options:
- 1 high speed BPLC interface
- 2 high speed BPLC interfaces
- 1 low speed SSPLC interface (in the process of being developed)
- 2 low speed SSPLC interfaces (in the process of being developed)
- 1 cable modem (non-compatible with PLC option)
- 2 additional Fast Ethernet interfaces (100Base-Tx or 100Base-Fx) (in the process of
being developed)

or 2 PLCs)
- 1 RS-485 serial interface (in the process of being developed) (not valid with 1 ADSL
or 2 PLCs)
- 1 optical serial interface (in the process of being developed) (not valid with 1 ADSL
or 2 PLCs)
- 1 PLC meter reading concentrator (in the process of being developed)

DRA-2
DRA-2 UNIVERSAL COMMUNICATION NODE 11/158
USER GUIDE - Rev.5 (January 2018)
WAN interfaces allow users to utilise the services of public operators and are a very useful
alternative, in view of their geographical coverage and the fact that they are easy to put into
operation.
The cable modem is the necessary device to access the services of the cable operators.
The MV PLC is a good option for transmitting information from the different Transformation
Centres to a Main Substation. There are two types of interface for Powerline
Communications through the Medium voltage network:
A high speed BPLC interface, designed especially for urban environments in which mid-
distance levels must be covered, since the transformation centres are very close to each
other.
A low speed SSPLC interface which allows much greater distances to be covered,
designed for rural environments where the quantity of information to be transmitted is
much smaller and priority is given to covering longer distances and accessing more
remote areas.
For injecting the PLC signal in the Medium Voltage networks, Wideband PLC couplers are
used, adapted to that technology, and to the different installation sites. The available range
is described in APPENDIX C.
