GOOSE Insights

What is GOOSE?

GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event) is a control model defined in IEC 61850 for fast, reliable communication of event data in substations. It enables peer-to-peer communication between intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) for functions like protection, automation, and control, with typical transmission times of less than 4ms. GOOSE messages directly encapsulate data and status information within Ethernet frames, bypassing the TCP/IP stack to minimize latency and ensure deterministic delivery, thus critical for real-time applications in smart grids.
