Power Flow Analysis

z Load flow study determines how the electrical

system will perform during normal and emergency
operating conditions, providing the information
needed to:
z Optimize circuit usage
z Develop practical voltage profiles
z Minimize kW and kVar losses
z Develop equipment specification guidelines
z Identify transformer tap settings
POWER FLOW ANALYSIS

z Gauss Seidel
z Newton Raphson
z Fast Decoupled
SHORT CIRCUIT STUDY

z The short-circuit study calculates the short-

circuit capacity at designated locations within
the power delivery infrastructure.
z This data may also be utilized to select
equipment ratings and may serve as the
basis for protective device coordination
study.
FAULT LEVEL

z Planning the future configuration of the

power system.
z Safeguarding the Equipment
z Introducing new Equipment to restrict the
fault current at critical locations in the
network.
z Used with Protective device co-ordination
FAULT SYSTEM ANALYSIS - CYME

z In the short circuit dialog box in Generator

Impedances always select subtransient
z Fault report can be generated as below
Summary on all buses
Detailed on all buses
Detailed on selected bus
Global report on selected bus
Sliding fault along a line
FAULT SYSTEM ANALYSIS - CYME

z IEC AND ANSI

a) LLL FAULT- Required at all situations
b) LG FAULT Earth fault coordination
IEC
a) Initial Symmetrical fault
b) Peak current
c) Breaking current at different time intervals
d) Steady state current Relay co-ordinaton
MOTOR STARTING STUDY

z Voltage profile at various points

z The following parameters are to be provided
z Name plate data of motor
z Equivalent circuit parameters : R & X of rotor and stator
z Induction motor Mechanical load data : a) moment of inertia of
the rotating parts b) Slip torque characteristics
z Results can be plotted in CYMVIEW
z Different options of the report like Time vs Voltage, Current,
Power Factor, Torque can be generated.

z Run load flow prior to motor start

MOTOR STARTING STUDY

z Voltage profile at various points

z Run load flow prior to motor start

Transient Stability

z Planning the future configuration of the

power system.
z Adding large individual items of Dynamic
equipment eg. Large Ind. Motor or gen.
z Modifying the main interconnections within
the system
a) Critical switching time of CBs
b) Starting V.D & run up performance of large
motors
TRANSIENT STABILITY ANALYSIS

System disturbances due to

z Fault at buses
z Starting of largest motor
z Stopping of motor etc.

z Run load flow prior to transient stability.

EDSA & CYME

z EDSA
EXCEPT TRANSIENT STABILITY
ANALYSIS ALL OTHER PACKAGES IN
CYME ARE AVAILABLE IN EDSA.
Protective Device Coordination

z Making modifications in the system like

replacing outdated equipment
z To identify local problem areas for the
selection of suitable devices eg. Relays,
fuses, C.Bs etc.
CYMTCC

z Checks the coordination of the system and

enables in fixing the setting points in relay

z RUN SHORT CIRCUIT STUDY PRIOR TO

COORDINATION
RELAY CO-ORDINATION
