In order to quickly remove the overload and improve the selectivity of the resection, an overload and cutting method based on GOOSE communication is designed. This method can detect the load situation in real time. When the system is overloaded, the mode of multi-stage one round after round resection load will change to the one-time resection mode, and the automatic load recovery function is added. A 35 kV power distribution network is used for simulation. The results show that the method can effectively improve the selectivity and rapidity of overload removal and avoid more or less cutting of load; it has the function of automatic recovery, which can reduce the power outage time and enhance the reliability of power supply.
