Digital protective relay in power system play a prominent part. Simulators for the relay test were introduced in early 1980's. A number of open loop designs have been developed and recently, several developments of real-time simulators have been reported. But they are very high cost. And then they are difficult to apply for relay testing in small business. This paper presents the structure of low cost and performance of a new pc based tester for digital protective relay testing. The proposed tester was simulated of off-line with fault transient signals obtained from EMTP.

In this work, the digital simulator for testing of digital protective relay is presented. The proposed simulator software has EMTP simulation data file conversion, sequence waveform generation, user define simulation data generation, communication engine, data analysis engine and measurements function etc. The simulator hardware is designed using 32bit floating point DSP architecture to achieve flexibility and high speed operation. This simulator is tested to evaluate the performance of relay simulator by using a output data of simulation model on EMTP.

This paper describes the current- based compact digital motor protective relay for low and high voltage induction motors, which are widely used in industrial and commercial power systems. The existing protective relays for motor protection had only overload, short circuit, reverse phase, open circuit and grounding protective elements, and measurement, start/stop control function. But in present day, for automation system, various functions are required, especially motor management and sequence control function and more. To meet these requirements, we developed an economic current-based compact digital motor protective relay which had various function to control, manage and monitor the induction motor.

Power qualify monitoring system is devoted to more concern than before, because the innovation of industrial technology needs more accurate instruments and more advanced power quality. This paper was studied on using data of the protective relay by Power Quality Monitor. This paper was proposed the wave storage condition and monitoring clauses of the protective relay as a power quality monitoring device. The protective relay will have problem to save data for PQM analysis because the protective relay memory is limited. Therefore this paper was proposed new a data compression of data got from the protective relay. This method is wave compression comparison algorithm using the DFT. The compression rate is higher than any other established method. This method can be real time storage. This algorithm is verified using the comparison among other compression rate and proved by Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS).

As power facilities are getting higher at capacity, the monitoring and diagnosis of generators for fault detection and protection has attracted intensive interest. In case of an after-fault in high capacity rotating machines, the recovering cost is usually very expensive and additional time is necessary for returning in a normal situation. In this paper, we developed the protection program for the generator fault protection system and each module of the digital protective relay H/W for loading the protection program. The protective relay H/W was designed to have EMC characteristics for prohibiting from fault operation in bad power systems.

As electrical power system has become complicated and enlarged to cope with the increasing electric demand, it has to be expected that higher speed, higher reliability, higher function and higher arithmetic ability in protective relay should be realized. Therefore, in this papers, by hardware design and implementation used DMA controller that transfer blocks of data to any location in the memory map without interfering with CPU operation, CPU utilization is increased effectively, as a result it made possible to implement multi-function digital protective relay which has high trust and high function of protection as well as control and metering for power transformers using single processor(DSP).

Digital relays have numerous advantages over traditional analog relays, such as the ability to accomplish what is difficult or impossible using analog relays. This paper presents the protective relay modeling of generator using Real Time Digital Simulator(RTDS). The developed model is applied to the test system and the simulation results are evident that they performs satisfactory.

The transformer role is very important in power system operation and control; also its price is very expensive. Therefore many kinds of the efforts for transformer protection have been executed. So for as, current differential relay(87) has been mainly used for transformer protection. But current differential relaying method has several troubles as followings. Differential current can be occurred by transformers inrush current between winding1 and winding2 of transformer when transformer is initially energized. Also harmonic restrained element used in current differential relaying method is one of the causes of relays mal-operation because recently harmonics in power system gradually increase by power switching devices(SVC, FACTS, DSC, etc). Therefore many kinds of effort have been executed to solve the trouble of current differential relay and one of them is method using ratio of increment of flux linkages(RIFL) of the primary and secondary windings. This paper introduces a novel protective relay for power transformers using RIFL of the primary and secondary windings. Novel protective relay successfully discriminates between transformer internal faults and normal operation conditions including inrush and this paper includes real time test results using RTDS(Real Time Digital Simulator) for novel protective relay. A novel protective relay was designed using the TMS320C32 digital signal processor and consisted of DSP module. A/D converter module, DI/DO module, MMI interface module and LCD display module and developed by Xelpower co., Ltd.

The study for a protective relay system is one of the important technical issues on the power system application of Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL). We used Real Time Digital Simulator(RTDS) to study the true interaction of the protection system with the power system. RTDS modeling of SFCL is necessary to the detailed protective relay tests. In this paper, we developed an analysis model using RTDS for studying the transient behavior of 22.9kV SFCL and carried out closed-loop testing of protective relays in distribution power system with the developed SFCL model. The SFCL model has the operation mechanism of 22.9kV hybrid SFCL being developed by LSIS and KEPRI in Korea. The parameters of the model are based on the test data of the real SFCL. Power system planners and operators can solve the expected problems in power system application of SFCL using protective relay testing results.
