Understanding Relays

Power utilities have for along time relied on protection relays (electromagnetic and first-generation digital relays) to perform only a single isolated task - fault protection. This was for a number of reasons but mainly due to limited process- ing power. With the advent of second-generation digital relays using powerful high-speed digital signal processors (e.g. DSPs), the [...]
