Traditional relay setting development methods are often prone to human error due to tedious copy-and-paste processes. We have combined our expertise in system protection with emerging automation technologies to develop a streamlined settings process, minimizing errors and increasing efficiency.

PRC-027-1 Requirement 1

Our automation techniques also provide a state-of-the-art solution for PRC-027-1, Requirement 1, one of the latest NERC standards, which requires power and utility companies to have a well-defined and well-documented relay setting development process. Our methodical workflow utilizes established protection philosophies, sanitizes and verifies the short-circuit model, and includes a thorough review process, using automation scripts to crosscheck results and ensure reliability.

We also offer an automated wide area coordination solution for PRC-027-1, Requirement 2, which you can read about here.

Relay Coordination Studies

Improperly coordinated relay settings create the potential for injury to personnel as well as expensive equipment damage. Using rigorous scanning techniques, we can uncover weaknesses and errors in the system that could cause misoperations as well as cascading blackouts.

Our comprehensive coordination studies, conducted in collaboration with clients, ensure each relay is set for the optimal level of sensitivity, selectivity, and time delay, reducing the stress on the system and on your bottom line.
