GOOSE BLASTER

Powerful GOOSE Simulation for Reliable IEC 61850 Testing

SISCO’s GOOSE Blaster is a simulation tool for the test engineer that can simulate GOOSE and Routable GOOSE (R-GOOSE) messaging for any IEC 61850-based IED in a substation. The GOOSE Blaster allows the test engineer to import a Substation Configuration Language (SCL) file containing descriptions of GOOSE control blocks for one or more IEDs. The test engineer can then configure a messaging sequence with any parameter values and timing for the published GOOSE, creating normal and abnormal scenarios. Once the scenarios are configured, the GOOSE Blaster creates a compiled version and executes the scenario with maximum performance.

APPLICATIONS

  • Simulate GOOSE and R-GOOSE messaging for IED functional testing

  • Simulate invalid and out-of-sequence messaging for resiliency and reliability testing

  • Simulate large numbers of IEDs and GOOSE messages for network load testing

Features

  • Easy control block configuration by importing standardized SCL files per IEC 61850-6

  • Fully configurable scenario editing allows the user to create scenarios to simulate any GOOSE messaging with full control over:

  • Can configure VLAN and priority tags as well as all other message data including sequence, state, sim, CB names, etc. for each message individually

  • Dataset values can be set for each individual message

  • Time of transmission can be configured via transmission curves or individually edited

  • Can execute multiple scenarios simultaneously

  • Each scenario can be set to run once, repeat for a specified time period or continuously

  • Runs on any currently supported Microsoft operating systems
