Design and Application of Portable Feeder Automation Hardware-in-loop Test Platform

A modular and compact portable feeder automation hardware-in-loop test platform is designed to meet the requirements of feeder automation functional test and distribution terminal single-phase grounding fault identification ability test. The hardware structure of the test platform and the method of constructing digital simulation model of distribution network are introduced. Portable feeder automation hardware-in-loop test platform realizes a panoramic simulation of actual feeder automation operation effect. And the platform meets the closed-loop test requirements of the distribution network. Based on the designed test platform, the paper briefly introduces the feeder automation functional test process of a 10kV distribution line, and verifies the rationality of the platform design.
