Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power system automation technology, and in particular to a modular substation testing system. Background Technology

[0002] A substation is a location in a power system that transforms voltage and current, receives electrical energy, and distributes it. Substations within power plants are step-up substations, whose function is to step up the voltage of the electrical energy generated by generators before feeding it into the high-voltage power grid.

[0003] In the existing technology, mobile substations are usually composed of modular substations. However, after the modular substation is moved or during the move, signal interference, location changes and other reasons may cause the power grid time to be inconsistent, which cannot guarantee the economic and stable operation of the power grid. Therefore, there is room for improvement.

[0004] In power systems, automation devices in smart substations, such as protection and measurement and control systems, monitor and control the primary and secondary equipment of the entire substation. They also perform time-related testing functions such as remote control hold time, remote signaling anti-jitter, and SOE resolution. With the development of smart grid construction, more and more new smart substations are being built. The reliability of the functions and performance of these devices directly affects the safe operation of the substation; therefore, testing of smart substation automation devices is extremely important.

[0005] Currently, time correlation testing of automated devices still relies on some single-function debugging tools, such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, and simple switch quantity testers. Some of these instruments have simple functions, are inconvenient to use, or have low accuracy. Others require multiple instruments to complete the test, which cannot meet the testing needs of smart substations. Utility Model Content

[0030] Preferably, the multiplexer is an AMC4601.
