Optical Digital Relay Protection Commissioning
This paper suggests a process for performing consistent and thorough commissioning tests through many sources: breaking out relay logic into schematic drawings; using SER, metering, and event reports from relays; simulating performance using end-to-end testing and lab. Abstract - The proven advantages of digital technology for power system protective relays are now commonplace in the power producing and delivery industry. Digital relays provide unsurpassed reliability and extended capabilities at an economical cost. However, properly com-missioning an entire protection system, not just the individual relays, presents a challenge. In all cases, relay failures covered by self-diagnostics can alert operators through an alarm contact.
