Advanced Power System Analysis in Electrical Network Using ETAP Power Station

Power systems equipment must withstand not only the rated voltage, which corresponds to the highest voltage of a particular system but also the expected a short level. Accordingly, it is necessary to set protective relays based on these results obtained from short circuit study. One of the hot issues now related to these is the arc flashing study which is mainly based on the studies of short circuit and relay coordination as well. All these three issues should be dealt with as integral parts & bulk. Power System Analysis means verifying the adequacy of the power distribution system and it's components, recognize coordination related disturbances and outages, and collecting the required data to perform a detailed required study. The continuity and quality of electricity delivered safely and economically by today’s and futures electrical power networks are important for both developed and developing economies. The correct modeling of power system equipment and correct fault analysis of electrical networks are pre-requisite to ensuring safety and they play a critical role in the identification of economic network investments. Environmental and economic factors require engineers to maximize the use of existing assets which in turn require accurate modeling and analysis techniques.
