Field protection engineers often face various challenges during testing within substations. When only simple tests or checks need to be performed, having the option to control the test set with a mobile device is not only more comfortable but also more efficient. But what does the development of a new mobile testing app involve?

In this episode, Fabian Kolb, OMICRON product manager for CMC Swift software, gives you an insight into the development process of the CMC Swift mobile testing app.

This video shows you how to get started working with Digital Twin in RelaySimTest.

It shows a test of the auto-reclosure (ARC) function with RelaySimTest and the Siemens SIPROTEC DigitalTwin and how an existing test plan for a physical protection system can be converted into a test plan for a virtual protection system by simply adding a Digital Twin connection that assigns all protection devices in the topology to the Digital Twin. If you want to test your physical protection system later, you only need to deactivate the Digital Twin connection and perform the test with your conventional test setup.

In RelaySimTest, clear instructions guide you through the process of setting up the test with the SIPROTEC DigitalTwin, including logging into the Siemens Digital Twin environment, importing the SIM files of selected devices generated by DIGSI, uploading the state sequence XML file with the
definition of analog and binary signals, and how to copy the API password to start the test.

As a protection tester, you can now validate your protection system before installing it – by testing with digital twins of protection relays. Digital twins come with many advantages: you do not need any spare IEDs for testing, you have no output power limitations, And you can use an unlimited number of virtual test signals.

With RelaySimTest you can test your protection system effectively and efficiently with digital twins. You can simulate your power system and adapt
this simulation iteratively corresponding to the Trip and Close commands. You can simulate real power system scenarios, replay them on your
virtual protection system and evaluate its behavior. Later, you can reuse your test plan for testing your physical protection system.
