Protective relaying system for education

Abstract

A rapidly growing in power industry requires more reliable operation of power supply that increases complexity of power systems. For attaining this aim new communication solutions and an increased focus on protection may be needed. The power engineering department at IGEE has proposed advanced power systems initiatives to better prepare its students for the power industry field. One of these initiatives is the development of a new laboratory curriculum that uses digital relays to reinforce the fundamental concepts of power system protection. The simple relay protection lab planned at IGEE should include a test bench with distance, over-current and differential relays, and a
