Abstract

IEC 61850 is an international standard for power system protection and automation applications that supports high-speed peer-to-peer communications that allow interoperability between multifunctional protection IEDs from different manufacturers. Thus GOOSE messages can be used between such IEDs in transmission and distribution protection schemes that have improved reliability compared with conventional schemes using hard wired signals or proprietary communications.
