Generic Substation Events

Generic Substation Ev ents (GSE) is a control model defined as per IEC 61850 which prov ides a fast and
reliable mechanism of transferring ev ent data ov er entire electrical substation networks. When implemented,
this model ensures the same ev ent message is receiv ed by multiple phy sical dev ices using multicast or broadcast
serv ices. The GSE control model is further subdiv ided into GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation
Ev ents) and GSSE (Generic Substation State Ev ents).

Generic Object Oriented Substation Events

Generic Object Oriented Substation Ev ents (GOOSE) is a controlled model mechanism in which any
format of data (status, v alue) is grouped into a data set and transmitted within a time period of 4 milliseconds.
The following mechanisms are used to ensure specified transmission speed and reliability . [1 ]

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 (IED)
that fully support IEC 61850 for a truly interoperable approach within the substation network without requiring vendor
specific cables or algorithms.

Generic Substation State Events

Generic Substation State Ev ents (GSSE) is an extension of ev ent transfer mechanism in UCA2.0. Only
Status data can be exchanged through GSSE and it uses a status list (string of bits) rather than a dataset as is used
in GOOSE. GSSE messages are transmitted directly ov er IEC/ISO 8802-2 and 8802-3 using a similar mechanism
to GOOSE messages (refer IEC 61850-7 -1 Clause 12.2, IEC 61850-8-1 Clause 6.4). As the GSSE format is simpler
than GOOSE it is handled faster in some dev ices. GSSE is being progressiv ely superseded by the use of GOOSE and
support for it may ev entually disappear. [2 ]

Non-standard event reporting models

Equipment manufacturers hav e started to offer non-standard protocols to report ev ents ov er substation
networks, citing adv antages to these approaches.

Fixed GOOSE - This is implemented in GE IEDs and makes use of the GSSE data format (list of bits) over the
GOOSE protocol. This is said to be faster than GOOSE as it uses (shorter) unstructured data in the transmission
string instead of structured data format required used by GOOSE.
