Wide Area Protection & Control using high-speed and secured Routable GOOSE Mechanism

WAPC using Routable-GOOSE (R-GOOSE) is an emerging solution to improve power system protection, control, and monitoring. The R-GOOSE mechanism is a routable extension (IP layer-3) of already proven Ethernet layer-2 high-speed GOOSE within a substation. Comparison of Synchrophasor and R-GOOSE is examined considering protocol mechanisms, WAPC applications, network and bandwidth, performance/delay requirements perspective. A practical use case of R-GOOSE applying to Centralized Remedial Action Scheme (CRAS) is presented. Finally, advancements in cyber security technology to enable WAPC applications are discussed in details.
