Abstract :
UCA based protective relays use high-speed peer-to-peer communications to Implement distributed protection schemes or to replace hard wired Interface between relays with GOOSE messages defined by UCA 2.0 and JEC 61850. The paper presents the requirements for testing of such devices, including the specifics of simulation of the substation environment and monitoring of the performance of the relay under test.
