Load flow Analysis

To study power systems, load flow analysis is very important. Moreover, it is forms the basis
of power system. Load flow analysis facilitates in the planning of accompaniments/extensions
to generation and transmission facilities. Further, load flow analysis forms the basis of
execution of monitoring systems.
ETAP Load Flow Analysis facilitates power engineers to compute bus voltages, currents,
branch power factors and power flows throughout the system. It permits for voltage-regulated,
swing and non-regulated power sources with several generator connections and grids.
Additionally, load Flow allows the user to choose from three different approaches which are
Gauss Seidel, Newton Raphson and Fast Decoupled, in order to attain the optimum calculation
efficiency. Consequently, ETAP load flow benefits the power engineer by fast pursuing the
long calculations and providing valued time for other significant analysis and decision
making.

Short Circuit Analysis

Short Circuit Currents
Short circuit currents bring huge amount of damaging energy in the forms heat into system.
Safety and reliability of distribution systems rely upon precise and detailed information of fault current that may be
exist, and on the capability of protection devices to adequately intrude such current.

Problems Related With Short Circuit Currents

Short circuit current can easily damage the equipment. Indecorously protection of short circuit current may harm
and eradicate workers. Now days, steps were taken to appropriately identify hazardous points in the power
distribution facility.

Need of Short Circuit Analysis

By the help of short circuit analysis one can easily make sure that ratings of present and
new equipment are appropriate enough to endure the fault current.
Short circuit analysis ensures the safety of workers as well as equipment as it provides assistance in selecting
proper ratings of protective equipment. In case, if fault current exceeds the selected rating of protective equipment
than it is a severe risk to life and is capable of causing serious damage. Short circuit analysis is necessary to
decide both i.e. relay settings and switch gear ratings.

Advantages of Short Circuit Analysis

Reliability and safety of power system is enhanced.

It can identifies the problems in power system.
It can suggest solutions to power system related problems.

It helps to ensure safety of workers.
