Abstract

The invention provides a method and device for auto-generating GOOSE signal connection topology from substation level based on IEC61850 standard. The method comprises the following steps: import substation configuration language (SCL) file; search all GOOSE input and output signals under each access point; match the output signals to the input signals; and generate GOOSE signal connection topology based on the result of said matching. The device comprises an importing module for importing substation configuration language file; a GOOSE signal analyzer for searching all of GOOSE input and output signals under each access point, and matching said GOOSE output signals to said GOOSE input signals; and topology data module for generating GOOSE signal connection topology based on said matching. The device comprises a storage module. The storage module comprises an input dataset for storing GOOSE input signals and an output dataset for storing GOOSE output signals and their matching input signals.
