Abstract
In the past time, the protection relay did only a protection function. Currently, its upgraded device i.e. IED(Intelligent Electric Device) has been designed to protect, control, and monitor the whole power system automatically. Also the device is desired to successfully measure important elements of the power system. This paper considers design method of a digital protection IED with a function of measuring various elements and a communication function. The protection IED is composed of the specific function modules that are signal process module, communication module, input/output module and main control module. A signal process module use a DSP processor for analysis of input signal. Main control module use a embedded processor, Xscale, that has an ARM Core. The communication protocol uses IEC61850 protocol that becomes standard in the future. The protection IED is able to process mass information with high-performance processor. As each function module is designed individually, the reliability of the device can be enhanced.
