The system for coordination studies on a large number of relays
While relay test devices are available in the market, such devices are able to actuate a limited number of relays. Therefore, if the response of a the overall protection scheme is needed to be evaluated, a system able to govern a considerable number of relays is required. The main parameter that should be considered is to retain the voltage or current measurements time-stamped and synchronous when those are fed to the relays.
In response to this need, at EPSP&CM, a testbed has been made that enables actuating a considerable number of relays with the recorded or simulated fault data via play back.
The test system is able to feed COMTRADE, Sampled Vector (SV), Comma Separated Vectors (CSV), and other formats of data to several relays in a synch manner with high precision to study the response of relays and evaluate the protection scheme, as well as, coordination.

Transformer Monitoring and Flux Measurement
One of the critical components in power delivery grids is the transformer. While it has been in use for a century, its complex behavior and issues in accessing data of the in-service transformers, resulted in limitations in transformer models and measurements of transformer parameters.
At EPSP&CM is equipped with a range power transformers from lab-scaled ones to several KVA, as well as different measuring transformers. In addition, precision flux meters along with advanced digital meters are utilized to ensure the accuracy and correctness of the measurements.
