Using COMTRADE records to commission protection

摘要

This paper demonstrates how to commission specific protection functions using COMTRADE—an IEEE standard for common format for transient data exchange. The following are required to generate a specific test: • detailed test plan • COMTRADE records ¹Each detailed test plan should provide a complete explanation of the test as well as step-by-step instructions on performing the test. Each detailed test plan should also provide an explanation as to why the test is useful to perform, such as preventing a common type of misoperation from re-occurring. Some functional tests may only require a COMTRADE record to inject test signals into the relay. Tests that can be performed using a generic COMTRADE record greatly simplify the test plan and can provide test results based upon actual system conditions.
