A Study of Nanosecond Clock Synchronization Methods for Real-Time Transient Simulation

Conventional nanosecond clock synchronization protocols are generally target-type or content-type, the synchronization rate is low, which leads to the increasing of the mean value difference of synchronization, so we propose to study the design of nanosecond clock synchronization method for real-time transient simulation. Combined with the actual clock synchronization requirements, we first calculate the link congestion coefficient, adopt a multilevel approach to strengthen the synchronization rate, set up a multilevel clock synchronization protocol, based on which we determine the clock source quality coefficients and construct a nanosecond clock synchronization model for real-time transient simulation, and use redundancy processing to achieve clock synchronization. The test results show that compared with the high-efficiency phase-color clock synchronization method and the cross-clock synchronization method, the mean synchronization difference of the designed transient simulation nanosecond clock synchronization method is controlled to be less than 0.5, which indicates that the designed clock synchronization method is more efficient, stable, and targeted, and the synchronization effect is significantly improved.
