Abstract

In today’s modern Digital Substation Automation System Cyber Security is the utmost requirement. Presented work concentrates on IEC 61850 protocol standard supporting GOOSE messaging operation as per UCAIug procedure Edition 2.0 establishment for IEDs. ERDA’s testing Laboratory setup with different manufacturers’ two IEDs communicating with an Ethernet based IEC 61850 Test Environment network have been implemented & tested. GOOSE test of 1. IED REF615 & 2. IED REF620, & 3. IED L90 & 4. IED P345 as per UCAIug procedure was carried out. The objective of this study is to detect GOOSE operations as per UCAIug procedure for Multivendor IEDs installed in IEC 61850 Substation Automation System (SAS). One IED tested with the UniGrid SA (DNV Test Tool) and the results demonstrated that the proposed GOOSE operation of IED works satisfactorily as per standard IEC 61850-8-1 standard & UCAIug procedure. Thus paper aims at goose testing of IEDs with IEC 61850 protocols as per UCAIug procedure.
