System Modeling and Studies
Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Testing and Engineering Studies
SEL provides HIL testing services for protection and control systems associated with the electric power industry. SEL maintains a large model power system laboratory in Pullman, Washington. This facility contains a large number of Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) racks used exclusively for HIL testing of SEL protection and control systems. This provides factory testing of protection and control systems under realistic conditions.
SEL also provides custom modeling, analysis, and reports for the electric power industry. Using simpler tools like those from SKM and ETAP, SEL also provides engineering studies, including relay coordination studies, relay settings reports, stability margin reports, and more.
