Technical Dive: Understanding MMS, GOOSE, and Sampled Values in IEC 61850

Written by Michael Zillgith

12. September 2024

The IEC 61850 Protocol Library supports key protocols such as MMS, GOOSE, and Sampled Values. Understanding these protocols is essential for leveraging the full potential of IEC 61850.

MMS (Manufacturing Message Specification)

MMS is used for client-server communication, facilitating the exchange of information between devices and control centers. It provides a robust framework for data retrieval, device control, and event reporting.

GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Events)

GOOSE is designed for fast, event-driven communication, enabling devices to exchange critical information in real time. This protocol is essential for applications requiring rapid response times, such as protection schemes and interlocking.

Sampled Values

Sampled Values support the real-time exchange of data, which is crucial for applications like digital substations and grid automation. This protocol ensures high-speed, accurate data transmission, which is vital for maintaining grid stability and efficiency.

Practical Applications:

  • MMS: Used for comprehensive data management and control in SCADA systems.
  • GOOSE: Critical for protection and automation applications requiring immediate action.
  • Sampled Values: Essential for real-time monitoring and control in digital substations.

Understanding these protocols and their applications is crucial for optimizing telecontrol systems and leveraging the full capabilities of the IEC 61850 Protocol Library.
