Dynamic PMU compliance test under C37.118.1a™-2014

Abstract

This paper presents a flexible testing methodology and the dynamic compliance of PMUs as per the new C37.118.1a amendment published in 2014. The test platform consists of test signal generator, a Doble F6150 amplifier, PMUs under test, and a PMU test result analysis kit. The Doble amplifier is used for providing three phase voltage and current injections to the PMUs. Three PMUs from different vendors were tested simultaneously in order to provide a fair comparison of the devices. The new 2014 amendment comes with significant changes over the C37.118.1 - 2011 standard regarding the dynamic tests.
