摘      要：Given the decisive modernization of power systems and the evolution of protective relaying, it is imperative to merge traditional protection systems with innovative approaches that allow flexibility and time-domain protection. Time-domain approaches for power system protection must be tested in realistic and flexible platforms prior to their actual implementation. Inexpensive and flexible testing platforms are needed to fill this gap;consequently, a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing platform for a distance relay for feeder protection is presented in this article. The relay is tested in an HIL simulation of a single-machine infinite-bus system simulated in PSCAD software, and the distance protection function is implemented in a commercially available LAUNCHXL-F28379D microcontroller. One-phase-to-ground, two-phase-to-ground, two-phase, and three-phase faults are tested in the simulation system, showing the feasibility of the proposed approach for protection system testing.
