Being designed for IEC 61850 standard, the Relion® protection and control products from ABB offer the full benefits of GOOSE messaging.

Using GOOSE dramatically reduces the hardwiring, which helps to reduce costs.

Additionally, due to its vast signal transfer capacity over Ethernet and significantly faster signaling response times from device to device, GOOSE services together with Relion products enable new and improved substation automation applications.

For instance, GOOSE can be utilized for information exchange using IEC 61850-8-1 infrastructure for:

• Voltage control of parallel transformers in HV applications
• Fast and reliable blocking-based busbar protection for MV applications
