Testing of Wide Area Protection, Automation and Control Systems

Testing of Wide Area Protection, Automation and Control Systems

This paper published by Alex Apostolov and Marcelo Paulino in Brazilian Symposium on Electrical Systems, 2010, talks about testing of WAPACS.
Testing of wide area protection, automation and control systems plays a very important role in maintaining the stability and security of the electric power system. The paper analyses the components of such systems and discusses the different methods and tools that can be used to ensure the correct operation of such systems under different conditions.
Requirements for testing of distributed applications, time synchronization of test devices and data analysis are described in the paper.
