The Testing of Digital Substation - an Important Issue in Power Engineering Education

摘要

The development of electrical substations follows the trend of actual digital era. New developed measuring transducers increased considerably measurement range and their contribution to efficient operation of the substation is significant. Process interface becomes the key element in new substation automation system through direct interaction with primary equipment and real time maintenance possibility. Future engineers should be prepared to use emerging digital technology. Students need to know, understand and apply all these new challenges in power engineering and communication. The testing for present study was performed on the digital medium voltage bay from “Constantin Dinculescu” Electrical Substation Laboratory – University “Politehnica” of Bucharest, Romania. The aim of this study is to familiarize students with new digital technologies and to prove the easiest of the procedures for testing digital substations.
