characteristics for overcurrent and distance relays. Simulation
option available.
Voltage Instability Analysis
Designed to assess the risk of Voltage instability and margin of
stability during sudden disturbances, under steady state
conditions. It ranks the load busses based on the L-index value and
the highest L-index indicates the system collapse point. The value
of L-index is zero at no load and 1 at the verge of collapsing point.
Harmonic Analysis
Performs three-phase harmonic load flow to compute harmonic
distortion factors. Calculates harmonic transfer and driving point
impedances for both transmission and distribution power systems.
Dynamic Stability Analysis
Performs the dynamic stability analysis in both frequency domain
(Eigen value analysis) and time domain.
Network Reduction
Provides the static and dynamic equivalents for the power system.
In case of Static equivalent, program determines the bus
admittance matrix (Ybus) as seen from the desired nodes by
eliminating the rest of the nodes. In case of dynamic equivalent, a
single machine equivalent circuit is determined.
Sub-Synchronous Resonance
Frequency response method is used for analyzing the stability of
sub-sysynchronous resonance, as modelled by a number of
synchronous machines and an extensive series compensated
transmission network. The method allows the simultaneous
detailed modelling of all machine shafts and control loops and
hence permits investigation of possible interaction in the sub-
synchronous resonance frequency band between machines in
different plants.
Electro Magnetic Transient Analysis
Performs both transient and dynamic over voltage studies. The
highest discharge currents and energy stresses for the protective
equipment and to co-ordinate them with the withstand levels of the
protected equipment is determined. Over voltages, which are
caused due to energization of lines, transformers and shunt elements,
during fault inceptions and on clearing of faults are calculated.
Line and Cable Parameter Calculation
Program calculates positive and zero sequence parameters of the
overhead lines and cables used in single and multi-phase
configurations over a wide range of user defined frequencies and
temperatures. It also calculates the mutual impedance between
power and communication lines.
Long Term Load Forecast
Long Term Load Forecast module is designed for forecasting the
energy demand during the planning stages of a power system. The
salient features of this tool are
q Generality to apply for any type of load data
q Can accommodate any number of independent variable,
which are very significant.
q The method adopts multivariate regression techniques for
forecasting
q Capability to select the best forecasting model out of various
models
