With it’s bi-directional power flows, today’s power systems are under increased stresses from congestion, system load adjustments and power swings. Utilities need advanced solutions that can provide wide area monitoring and control for faster fault isolation.
GE’s field proven Multilin UR platform has been enhanced (firmware version 7.4) to extend its certified IEC 61850 Edition 2 implementation with Routable GOOSE (‘R-GOOSE’). R-GOOSE improves wide area monitoring and control capabilities as it enables the utility to multicast GOOSE messages beyond the substation, delivering a faster, secure and more cost effective architecture for wide area applications.
This latest edition also provides communications, ease-of-use and application flexibility enhancements including:
