Protection & Automation


Protection & Automation

The Control System Library contains specialized components for Power System Protection and Automation. The protective relay models are useful when real devices are not available or for training and educational purposes. The IEC 61850 models are used to connect a physical device to the RTDS in a closed loop test environment. The SCADA component provides a DNP3 slave interface to the RTDS for an external master. The extended file playback model is very useful when a large amount of data needs to be interfaced into the simulation in real time.


Protection and Automation Models - Component Types

  • Protective Relays - Multifunction Distance, Overcurrent, Differential, and Generator protection
  • Power System Metering– 3 phase symmetrical components,impedance measurement with sequence components
  • IEC 61850 - GOOSE binary and analog, Sampled Values (IEC 61850-9-2)
  • SCADA functions – DNP3 Slave
  • Extended File Playback - very large file (many GB) in COMTRADE or ASCII file format
  • Control - 1/3 pole circuit breaker control with sync-check
