Connecting the dots for Optimised
Power Systems
With expertise in electrical design and studies, ElecStudies helps you understand, maintain and operate your private, industrial, or renewable power distribution network effectively.
Our Expertise
Power Systems Modelling
Creating a Power System Model of your network will enable the ability to simulate the performance of the network and key assets under different conditions such as outages, changes in load or operating conditions.
Load Flow Analysis
Load flow studies can determine the active and reactive power flow within your network. They offer valuable insights such as thermal loading of your assets (e.g., transformers, cables), voltage profile, and power factor.
Short Circuit Calculation
Fault level studies will calculate three-phase and single-phase short-circuit currents, enabling you to assess your switchgear's fault withstand capability. We can employ industry-standard calculation methodologies such as IEC 60909 or EREC G74.
Protection Co-Ordination Studies
Assess whether protection devices are employed with the most optimal settings to ensure that faults are cleared quickly and protect key assets. Optimised settings will ensure that faults are isolated from healthy parts of the network while avoiding nuisance tripping.
Arc Flash Analysis
Calculate incident energy and protect personnel working on your live network by providing them with the correct PPE. Industry-standard methodologies such as IEEE 1584 or NFPA 70E can be employed to conduct this assessment.
Power Quality Studies
Measure and analyse power quality to ensure key assets (e.g., generators, motors, transformers) are not exposed to poor power quality conditions. Assessments for Harmonics (G5-5), Voltage Change (P28), Imbalance (P29), and Supply Characteristics (EN 50169) are vital to ensure the extended lifetime of key assets.
Dynamic Studies
Asses how your network will react to sudden disturbances or changes in operating conditions over time. Advanced studies such as Transient Stability, Transformer Energisation, Motor Starting, G99 Grid Code Compliance etc. can be vital in assessing dynamic capability of the distribution network
Equipment Specification
The specification and sizing of key electrical assets, such as Switchgear, Transformers, CTs and VTs and Protection Relays are vital for network design and reinforcement. Optimal sizing of assets will ensure that networks are designed appropriately for current and future power demand
Technical Training
Training in areas such as HV Network Design, Power Quality (Harmonics, Flicker, Unbalance), Protection Co-ordination, Per-Unit Calculation, and CT/VT Sizing is essential for any Power Systems Engineer to excel in their role.
