Description

A method for developing digital protection systems based upon reliability and safety requirements has been proposed. Directives for assessing such conditions are suggested. Techniques and the most common tools employed in hardware evaluation and modelling of such architectures have also been shown. In order to estimate the software quality, several mechanisms to control design, specification, and validation and verification (V and V) procedures are suggested. (author). 12 refs., 1 fig
