An Advanced Pc-based Digital Simulator for Protective Relay Testing
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the design of a new PC-based open-loop digital simulator for relay testing. The simulator is aimed at the users that want flexibility and power of transient relay testing at a price comparable to the price of conventional test sets. The simulator can use several different I/O hardware platforms enabling the users to match simulator configuration with their testing requirements. The simulator can load and replay transient files in a variety of file formats ranging from various DFR native formats to EMTP/ATP output file formats. Test files in COMTRADE format can also be used. Various signal processing and manipulation functions of the user interface enable easy and fast test creation and execution.
