Design and Performance Evaluation of a Novel Time Measurement Calibration Device for Electric Power Systems

In order to solve the difficulty of digital signal calibration of electric power equipment, such as low precision, inability to test the full range, and complicated configuration, and further promote the development of power system, a proposed time measurement calibration device is designed, and its performance is verified in this paper. This paper points out the main drawbacks of the existing calibration system, carries on the design innovation of the key technologies based on FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), puts forward the optimization method of the software and hardware, and verifies the accuracy of the input and output signal by experiments. The accuracy of input and output SV, GOOSE, and contact signal of the proposed calibration device in this paper can be better than 10μs, which is a meaningful improvement in accuracy and efficiency for time measurement calibration.
