Demonstration and analysis of IP/MPLS communications for delivering power system protection solutions using IEEE C37.94, IEC 61850 Sampled Values, and IEC 61850 GOOSE protocols

This paper reports on the requirements and performance of the conventional IEEE C37.94 and emerging IEC 61850 protocols for delivering current differential protection over and IP/MPLS network. Several configurations and parameters are investigated, and the paper highlights the key differences.
