Product Features
Build the model
- Build complete digital models of AC and DC power systems.
- The Network symbol represents a subnetwork, for large hierarchical systems.
- Show or hide each component's name, annotation and data block, and the protective device symbols.
- Draw components with ANSI or IEC symbols, and rotate and size each one.
- Group, zoom, pan and rotate.
- Libraries of cables, overhead lines, transformers, relays, fuses, LV breakers and trip units, reclosers, overload relays, batteries, PV modules and reliability data.
- English and Chinese user interface.
Core
- Power Flow: snapshot load flow.
- Short Circuit: AC faults (3-phase, line-to-ground, line-to-line, line-to-line-to-ground) by the classical, ANSI/IEEE and IEC 60909 methods; DC pole-to-pole and pole-to-ground faults with IEC 61660-1 time curves and capacitor discharge.
- Motor Starting: voltage drop when motors start.
- Equipment Sizing: cables and transformers.
Standard
- Protection & Coordination: time-current curves from the device libraries, with coordination checks between device pairs (IEEE 242 coordination time intervals).
- Arc Flash: system-wide incident energy, arc flash boundaries and PPE categories. AC to IEEE 1584-2018 or the Lee method (NFPA 70E); DC by the maximum power or Stokes-Oppenlander method (NFPA 70E).
- Harmonic Analysis: frequency scan, THD, and limit checks against IEEE 519-2014 and GB/T 14549 limits from the library.
- Cable Ampacity: IEC 60287 for duct banks, directly buried cables and conduits, and cables in air; Neher-McGrath for cables and conduits in air.
- Battery Study: sizing and discharge, with duty cycles from the loads.
- Sag & Tension: ruling span, ice and wind loading, by NESC-style loads or GB 50545-2010 wind.
- Power Flow time series: load shapes and solar irradiance over time.
- Motor Starting dynamics: induction and synchronous motors, with direct-on-line, wye-delta, autotransformer, soft and VFD starting.
Advanced
- Transient Stability: generators with exciters, governors and stabilizers (such as SEXS, ST1C, GGOV1 and IEEEG1), induction and synchronous motors, induction generators, and motor undervoltage relays.
- EMT Simulation: switching transients such as capacitor switching, transformer inrush with saturation curves, and fault transients.
- Control Block Simulation: time-domain simulation of control block diagrams.
- Continuation Power Flow: the path to voltage collapse.
- Optimal Power Flow: minimum generation cost, losses, control actions, load shedding or VAR investment, within network limits.
- Contingency Analysis: N-1 outages of branches and generators, and your own multiple-outage cases, each solved by a full AC power flow.
- Distribution Reliability: minimal cut sets with IEEE 493 (Gold Book) failure data.
- Composite Reliability: generation and transmission together, by state enumeration or Monte Carlo, with EENS and interruption cost (ECOST).
- Generation Adequacy: capacity outage probability tables or Monte Carlo, with LOLE, LOLP and EENS.
