GOOSE Communication
Simpler, Smarter, Future-Proof
Simpler, Smarter, Future-Proof
Where multiple cables were previously required between motor drive and voltage regulator, the combination of TAPCON® ISM® and ETOS® now replaces complex wiring with a single Ethernet cable using IEC 61850 GOOSE. This enables:
- Reduced Wiring Effort: Lower installation costs, faster commissioning, and fewer error sources.
- Synergies through ETOS® Data Integration: Current and voltage values are transmitted directly, enabling precise thermal models and DP-based lifetime calculation in combination with top-oil temperature – without additional sensor wiring.
- Flexibility for Extensions: Control changes require no new wiring – ideal for modular grid architectures and future upgrades.
- Fast, Secure Communication: IEC 61850-compliant for digital substations. Optional redundancy protocols make the communication link more secure than ever – for future-proof automation.
TAPCON Dynamic Setpoint Control (TDSC)
Smarter Voltage Regulation for Renewable Integration
Smarter Voltage Regulation for Renewable Integration
In today’s decentralized networks with rapid renewable growth, maintaining stable voltage across all grid sections often requires costly and time-consuming grid expansion. Until these measures are implemented, dynamic setpoint adjustment becomes essential to prevent voltage band violations. TDSC continuously adjusts the voltage setpoint based on real-time active power flow. This enables:
- Adaptive Voltage Control: Maintains stability even under volatile PV and wind conditions, including reverse power flow scenarios.
- Support of Existing Network Structures: Optimizes the voltage profile along the entire feeder where conventional compensation reaches its limits.
- Deferring Costly Grid Expansions: Keeps voltage within permissible limits longer, bridging the gap until reinforcement measures are in place.
- Support of Renewable Growth: Enables flexible, load-flow-based regulation for grids with high distributed generation.
