Abstract :
A digital distance protection scheme based on the transputer is described in which the distance protection scheme is modelled in Occam, a parallel processing language designed to describe hardware systems, and implemented on the transputer. The system makes use of existing equipment used on other protection schemes, which consists of signal conditioning and data acquisition circuitry. The transputer modules are interconnected to form an efficient parallel processing system for a distance protection scheme
