With software version 4.10, we have improved RelaySimTest in several ways.

The two most important changes include the addition of a new simulation model for an induction motor (or asynchronous motor) and the possibility to simulate infeed events.

With these major additions, you can now test Motor Bus Transfer schemes, Motor protection, or Rate of Change of Frequency (ROCOF) protection using the system-based testing approach.

Besides these big changes, a number of smaller improvements have also been made, including improvements of the Interactive System Simulation and the capabilities of RelaySimTest in terms of testing IEC 61850 protection systems.

Large-scale wind parks utilize different types of transformers, including cast-resin, also known as dry-type transformers, installed in the wind turbines.

The most common reason for failure in various types of transformers is the electric breakdown of the insulation due to a wide variety of factors. Partial discharge (PD) measurement and analysis performed during commissioning and in a periodic maintenance plan can reduce the risk of in-service transformer failures.

In this episode, OMICRON partial discharge (PD) testing experts Christoph Engelen and Dr. Alex Kraetge discuss the importance of performing off-line PD measurements on cast-resin transformers used in wind park turbines to prevent their in-service failure. They also describe how the related measurement challenges of limited space and surrounding noise can best be overcome with the right diagnostic methods and tools.

This video will get you started with RelaySimTest, from creating a new test document to the execution of a test. Familiarize yourself with the navigation of the software and learn how to model your power system, configure your test set, place typical faults and assess the protection system's behavior. Use the full potential of RelaySimTest and validate your protection system more easily, quickly and intuitively than ever before.

Timestamps:
00:00 – Intro
00:28 – Create test document
00:40 – Model power system
05:50 – Configure test set
07:50 – Define test cases

RelaySimTest is a software solution for system-based protection testing with OMICRON test equipment that takes a novel, future-oriented approach: the test is independent of relay type and relay manufacturer and the often very extensive parameter settings. Instead, it completely focuses on the correct behavior of the protection system. This is made possible by simulating realistic events in the power system.

Just as on land, rotating electrical machines used to generate electrical power for lighting, critical equipment and communications systems on cruise ships and other large vessels are subject to various mechanical, electrical and environmental forces that can affect their condition.

To keep motors and generators reliably operating on the high seas, certain electrical diagnostic tests are recommended on a regular basis to assess the condition of the electrical insulation, to detect potential failure-causing defects and to plan equipment maintenance and even replacement accordingly.

In this episode of Energy Talks, Fabian Öttl, OMICRON expert for diagnostic testing on rotating electrical machines, and Patrick Zander, OMICRON expert for PD testing and monitoring, discuss which diagnostic tests should be regularly performed on rotating electrical machines used on cruise ships and other vessels. They also highlight the testing challenges on ships as well as the types of measurement equipment that help make diagnostic testing easier in small, limited spaces and noisy environments.
