Protection zones

Secure and dependable operations

Multi-function devices

Zone 1: Forward Never overreach remote terminal

Zone 2: Forward Overreaches remote terminal
Zone 3: Reverse Blocks remote, backup protection

Oscillography:
high bandwidth == high sample rates
High storage capacity

Points to ponder

Allocation of design effort

for P based relays.

How has relay design changed in the past 20

years? (hardware vs software design tools)
How has relay testing changed over this time
period?
Observability
Criteria for assessment

How has protection design changed?

Need to support wider base of technologies
Programmability (remotely and adaptive)
