Abstract:
Traditional Substation Automation (SA) testing involving numerous manual equipment operations is a tedious and time consuming task with potential for errors. In an effort to improve the efficiency, accuracy and quality of this testing, Advanced Technology Substation Automation team at Southern California Edison, has developed a RTDS script based automatic testing of SA features. The experience gained and the methodologies developed will leverage RTDS’s Hardware in the Loop capabilities to benefit Factory Acceptance Test, Site Acceptance Test, and operator training.
