Abstract :
The electric utility industry is going through a period of significant changes in technology and business environment. Microprocessor-based protection, control and metering devices have become the standard in substations and power plants. Here, the authors describe how cost savings in installation, maintenance, and operations are possible because of the integration of microprocessor-based protective relays into such substations and power systems
