Performance Testing on GOOSE and MSV Transmission in One Network

lEC 61850 “Communication networks and systems in substation” is not only the most advanced and universal standard for communication but also a comprehensive system oriented standard for substation automation system (SAS). This paper proposes a transmission solution for communication scheme which combines Multicast Sampled Value (MSV) and Generic Object Oriented Substation Event (GOOSE) information in one network (Transmit MSV and GOOSE simultaneously with a network transmission line). MSV and GOOSE are described detail in the next context, and then the traffic flow and the delay of the two messages are estimated respectively. In this article, transmission performance tests based on the architecture of a single network are designed and implemented. The single event and multi-event tests show that the latency of the packets is quite small and the real-time performance satisfies the requirement of the intelligent substation.
