End-to-End Testing is the method that ensures the correct logical operation of the entire protection system. OMICRON provides simplified solutions to this challenging testing task. Testing of protection systems (e.g. distance protection with teleprotection communication schemes, line differential protection, busbar protection, or synchrophasor-phasor measurement systems) is required if the correct coordination and logical operation of the protection system is to be known. A distributed protection system requires a distributed test system that is accurately time-synchronized over very long distances. For these applications it is important that the applied time synchronization devices are highly accurate. Moreover, the synchronized test sets must be designed in a way that time sync signals, for example pulses, are processed extremely fast, so that the generated test signals themselves diverge less than 1 microsecond from each other.
With available technology, the challenge is to make such distributed test scenarios as easy and efficient as possible. Therefore, it is important that the test software and hardware is designed to accomplish such distributed testing scenarios in an optimal manner. An important innovation in this field is the ability to control all tests by a single PC over secure Ethernet communications.
