GOOSE (8-1) / SV (9-2) - explanation

• GOOSE and SV messages are time critical messagesand hence there will NOT be any acknowledgements

• Message flows directly from data link layer to RTOSinterface

• GOOSE and SV (9-2) are multicast messages

• GOOSE messages STARTS first time when the dataattribute or status changes of any logical node defined bythe data set.

GOOSE Example…

• GOOSE never waits for any acknowledgement from thesubscriber, but retransmits itself with a minimum timeinterval – in ERLPhase relays it is 10 mS, 20mS,40mS….12 sec maximum time.

Tmin= 1 mSTmin= 1 mS

GOOSE Example….

• How does the subscriber knows of the retransmission andthe new event?– GOOSE message has a STATE number and a SEQUENCE

number for distinguishing between a new event andretransmitted message

– For example, if 600 is the STATE number for new eventand first SEQUENCE will be set to 0

– STATE number remains 600 (if there is no new event) andSEQUENCE will be updated to 1 after first retransmission.

– STATE number changes 601 (new event) and SEQUENCEstarts at 0 and the old message will become obsolete

Phasor Measurement Unit Data over 61850

• IEC TR 90-5 is working on Synchrophasor transport over61850 communications with following schedule

• PMU Modeling -> Using MMXU and MSQI LNs• PMU Communication-> Using GOOSE- USV (sampled

Conclusions

• ERLPhase new generation products are ready for the future IEC 61850based digital substation protection – Station Bus (8-1)

• Merging Unit (SV ) based on process bus (9-2) has been planned for theyear 2012

• IEC 618650 -TC 57- Working Group is continuously working on improvingthe standard to realize the SmartGrid concepts
