Sotware Relay Testing SolutionThe ETAP Advanced Relay Testing and Transient Simulator

(ARTTS) is a new concept that utilizes hardware and sotware

technologies or testing, calibrating, and simulating relays.

ETAP ARTTS combines the short-circuit and protection

device coordination capabilities o ETAP with the relay testing

hardware. It provides actual steady-state and transient

responses o relays or comparisons with the manuacturers

published data. ARTTS is designed to improve system

protection, coordination, and reliability, hence decreasing

operational and maintenance costs.

ARTTS - Relay Test ing & Simulation

Bridge Between Relay-Testing Hardware

& Power System Simulation TechnologyARTTS provides the bridge between the relay-testing hardware

and power system simulation technology. While ETAP Star provides

a revolutionary method o analyzing and simulating the protective

device coordination and protection view via an intelligent one-line

diagram, ETAP ARTTS determines the actual operation o protective

relays based on steady-state and dynamic transient waveorms and

compares the captured relay response with that o manuacturer

published curves.

Relay Actual Response

Steady-State ResponseETAP Star exports the relay settings and parameters to

ARTTS or current injection into the relay. Based on the

required range o the overcurrent and/or ault current, the

relay test set then injects multiple currents (single-phase or

three-phase) into the relay in order to reconstruct the relay

TCC curve based on the actual relay response. The relay

test points are then imported to ETAP Star or plotting and

comparison with the manuacturer published data.

Transient Response

The ability to simulate relay response under steady-stateand transient conditions during both ault and normal

system operating conditions provides the necessary tools

or protection engineers and technicians to confdently

determine and evaluate the design and operation o

protection system. Steady-state ault current provides only

a snapshot operation o the relay based on sustained

current. Transient ault simulation is necessary to

determine the actual response time o the relay based on

the distributed through ault containing AC and DC decay

current.

The waveorms are generated rom ETAP and are

pragmatically played into the relay through ARTTS.

This allows or verifcation o the relay operation under

conditions matching actual system aults. By comparing

these sets o curves, Star visually indicates the

discrepancies and deviation between the actual (feld

setting) versus design (intended / ideal) device response

characteristics.

ARTTS Software Modules

Integrated SotwareARTTS sotware is an advanced control sotware program or

accessing all unctions o the Automatic Relay Testing and

Transient Simulator. This powerul sotware can be used or

manual and ully automatic testing o protective relays, energy

meters, and transducers.

The ARTTS sotware modules are extremely easy to use with

intuitive graphical user interace and realistic representations o

panel control and vector quantities. The ARTTS Wizard allows theuser to easily and quickly select the most appropriate sotware

program or the required application. The Click and Test eature

o the sotware makes relay testing more efcient and saves test

time. Test sequences can be created and customized using the

Sequence editor. Test results can be saved and customized using

the report manager to suit user output requirements.ARTTS Software: Virtual front panel
