Power System Studies
Power system studies are conducted to analyse the performance of an electrical system during various normal and abnormal conditions that can occur in the system. The studies are also conducted to understand the impact to an existing system, when adding a new electrical system to it. These studies, conducted at various stages of the power project, have specific objectives.
A power system study done at the planning stage is used to finalise the electrical system layout and the optimum configuration. The power system studies done at the design stage are used to finalise the rating of various equipment to be used in the power system. Power system studies are also conducted at the implementation stage of the project to analyse the designed system with the actual data of the equipment installed in the power system. The output of these studies are used to calculate the protection equipment settings.
Sometimes power system studies are also conducted on an existing power system which has undergone expansion in various phases. This may be required to update the protection setting / operating practice to help in improving the operating efficiency of the system.
On completion of every study, we provide a comprehensive report with the results of the study. We also provide a detailed analysis of the results and provide valuable suggestions for system design, installation, operation and maintenance.
The power system studies we can conduct includes,
- -Power flow analysis
- -Reactive power analysis and compensation requirement evaluation
- -Power system contingency evaluation
- -Short circuit analysis
- -Transient stability analysis
- -Motor starting analysis
- -Motor re-acceleration analysis
- -Harmonic analysis
- -Insulation co-ordination
- -Arc flash analysis for switchgear
- -Load shedding scheme evaluation
- -Protection device setting calculation and coordination
- -Earthing system study
On completion of the study, we would provide a detailed report including input data considered for the study, methodology adopted, explanation of study cases, exhaustive summary of the results & observations, combined with the expert analysis and recommendations.
