Abstract Communication networks in a modern power system
based on IEC 61850 plays an important role on the developing of
the Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) and testing the timely
response of an IED within the multi-vendor environment
(interoperability) to assess the applicability. Interoperability is a
crucial task that requires different kind of testing. Testing the
interoperability within multi-vendor environment is an
important issue that must be realized by Power Utilities within
the product acceptation process. This paper analyzed the timely
response of the substation automation system (SAS) by
implementing a Generic Object Oriented Substation Event
(GOOSE) within prototyping platform between multi-vendor
(IEDs) interoperability testing. GOOSE latency had been
successfully measured for the device under test (DUT)s based on
two laboratory scenarios and it shows that it is compliant with
the IEC 61850 criteria. Furthermore it proves the
interoperability concept that the (DUT)s subscribe to the GOOSE
messages from the third party IED. Discussion about different
IED configuration tools, network load issues and deterministic
GOOSE will complete the vision.
