Safety

Safeguard personnel from arc flash hazards

Reliability

Increased reliability, reduced outages and improved SAIFI & SAIDI metrics

Validate network protection scheme

Proper selection and sizing of protective devices are key to reducing the impact caused by network faults and minimising equipment failures.

Improving risk management

Risk management and prevention have always been important aspects of safety programmes within the electric industry. Proper assessment of arc flash risk level according to industry-recognised standards is necessary to ensure a safer work environment and minimise operational downtime.

DER impact on network protection

The installation of distributed energy resources can cause two-way flows and have an impact on traditional protection schemes. Identify potential sympathetic tripping, reduction of protective reach and minimum fault clearance issues caused by DER on the system.

Protective device analysis

Arc-flash hazard analysis

Properly assess the arc flash risk level to ensure a safer work environment by computing the necessary parameters required to determine risk level and adopt adequate safety procedures. This includes a new method that factors in back-up protection, multiple contribution and duration.

Distance protection analysis

Analyse the operation of distance protection relays under normal and fault conditions. Helps in the design and verification of protection schemes and helps to address different coordination issues in any power system network

Reliability assessment

Reliability assessment has become more important for utility planners in recent years. Improved service reliability might be motivated by government regulation or by market competition, but providing superior service at an attractive price is in the interest of both the utility and the customer.
