Description:
Laboratory of Digital Protections is focused on testing and measuring electric protections and devices serving to ensure correct operation of these protections. This laboratory is used in the context of applied research as well as for the educational process on the issue of protecting power electric systems.
Laboratory involves:
- Workplace for testing Generator Protections
Workplace includes synchronous generator driven by an asynchronous commutator motor, synchronization counter and a electrical switchgear serving to interconnection of individual protections and instrumental transformers. This switchgear is shown in Fig. 1
Design of the workplace enables:
- simulation different operating states of synchronous generator,
- monitoring the impact of parameters on the generator protection settings
- carrying out primary protection tests,
- carrying out secondary protection tests.
The workplace is further provided with a generator protection terminals SIPROTEC 7UM62 Siemens and ABB RET 670 containing various types of generator protection and multifunctional device Omicron CNC 56 serving to testing any kind of digital protections.
- Workplace for testing Distance Protections
The workplace consists of switchgear and test set ABB KZ4. Using the test set in cooperation with a special type of switchgear may be testing different types of distance protection types. The set also enables single-phase and three-phase tests. Moreover, of concomitant use of panel and test set can be tested even complex impedance protection with a start distance impulse and angle-dependent measurements.
- Workplace for testing OverCurrent and Voltage protections:
This workplace allows secondary protection test with current or voltage measuring elements. The workplace consists of electrical switchboard and electrical source ABB Z11. Source enables testing protections regulated current 0-100A / 0-200A, or a regulated voltage of 0-380 V. In the laboratory, there are more evolutionarily older but functional and practically identical sources of voltage and current, so it is possible to carry out even three-phase protection test. Furthermore, mentioned switchgear was modified in order to allow the generation of start signal for time tripping measuring.
Cooperation:
The laboratory was built in collaboration with external companies such as Siemens, ABB, Liv Elektra, Slovenské elektrárne and Schneider Electric.
