Generic Substation Events
Generic Substation Events is a control model defined as per IEC 61850 which provides a fast and reliable mechanism of transferring event data over entire electrical substation networks. When implemented, this model ensures the same event message is received by multiple physical devices using multicast or broadcast services. The GSE control model is further subdivided into GOOSE and GSSE.
Generic Object Oriented Substation Events
Generic Object Oriented Substation Events is a controlled model mechanism in which any format of data is grouped into a data set and transmitted within a time period of four milliseconds. The following mechanisms are used to ensure specified transmission speed and reliability:- GOOSE data is directly embedded into Ethernet data packets and works on publisher-subscriber mechanism on multicast or broadcast MAC addresses.
- GOOSE uses VLAN and priority tagging as per IEEE 802.1Q to have separate virtual network within the same physical network and sets appropriate message priority level.
- Enhanced retransmission mechanisms – The same GOOSE message is retransmitted with varying and increasing re-transmission intervals. A new event occurring within any GOOSE dataset element will result in the existing GOOSE retransmission message being stopped. A state number within the GOOSE protocol identifies whether a GOOSE message is a new message or a retransmitted message.
- GOOSE messages are designed to be brand independent. Some vendors offer intelligent electronic devices that fully support IEC 61850 for a truly interoperable approach within the substation network without requiring vendor specific cables or algorithms.
