Abstract |
In this paper, in order to apply the training and teaching of fields engineers and operators, and optimal setting and operation of protective relay, we propose a generator simulator of power plant protection. Based on the analysis of the generator control system, the components of simulator modeled in PSCAD and implemented by OMICRON, DIGSI. In addition, the interface of the simulator was designed in LabVIEW. The simulator can simulate the very similar conditions as the actual faults by reflecting the protective factors and operating conditions of the relays installed in the field. Therefore, the simulator can improve coping ability of IED performance and to utilize it as educational equipment for IED’s operator. |
