Model Power System Testing

Improve power system performance in critical applications, validate relay performance, and optimize settings using model power system testing. SEL creates a computer model of your power system, enabling endless possibilities for testing protection and control systems under realistic conditions using a Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS^®). A typical simulation of 500–1,000 fault cases can be run in less than one day, providing the equivalent of many years of operating history, which allows you to gain insight into the limits of your system.

"The model power system tests that SEL performed for BC Hydro's 500 kV transmission line protections revealed important information about the settings and performance of the protection systems. This information could not have been discovered by any means other than by the real-time power system simulator. SEL staff display an excellent example of the technical competence and customer understanding that we expect from SEL."
