TRANSFORMER LOAD TAP CHANGER CONTROL USING IEC 61850 GOOSE MESSAGING

“… IEC 61850 has many benefits including great flexibility and improved interoperability and
promises to be more widely implemented in the United States with time as is already the case in
many other parts of the world.
This research shows that LTC operation using IEC 61850 is reliable and brings with it all
the benefits that the implementation of IEC 61850 has to offer. Above all, due to elimination of
the majority of copper wiring, the proposed method is very flexible and can be implemented
using a variety of different devices …”
