Abstract :
Advanced distance protection relays are complex multifunctional devices designed to provide optimal performance under different system conditions and with the ability to use IEC 61850 communications for process and station bus applications. This imposes special requirements for their testing. The paper analyzes the functionality, the functional hierarchy and the schemes typically available in distance relays. It then discusses the methodology and tools available for testing of such relays.
