The invention relates to a GOOSE data sending method and device, and a configuration method and device. The configuration method comprises the following steps that: according to different data types,a corresponding number of GOOSE sending data sets not including any member is preset; an SCD file is parsed to obtain an MMS data set and an engineering logic blocking condition; according to the engineering logic blocking condition, data needed by the engineering logic blocking condition are selected from the MMS data set; and the members corresponding to the data are used as members in the GOOSEsending data sets to generate a CID configuration file. According to the GOOSE data sending method and the configuration method, problems that needed data can not be obtained in a fixed defining modeand the system becomes instable because lots of unnecessary redundant data are sent can be solved; and thus the demand of logic blocking function data invoking under various working conditions can besatisfied, the engineering GOOSE data invoking need is met in an all-round manner, and the useful redundant data are not sent, so that the network flow of the substation monitoring system is reduced.
