Abstract

Protection and control automation messages transfer between devices and the control center (CC) over IEC 61850 standard protocols in active distribution network (ADN) using Ethernet. Wireless communication network provides real-time monitoring and control of ADN. The proposed novel approach framework presentsline to ground (LG) faults protection and control method utilizing IEC 61850 standards at bay level between intelligent protection devices for fast and reliable protection. Moreover, this bay level peer to peer communication utilizes IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN)to reduce the fault protection time and other messages transferring time instead of Ethernet communication by GOOSE multicast communication services. End to end time delay and throughput of data transmission between the coordination nodes are illustrated using NS2 simulation.
