Know the effects of possible disturbances - even before they occur
Power system simulations provide valuable information about disturbances and their effects on your power system - even before they occur. And, when you know about them, you can minimize the effects or even prevent disturbances from happening! Thus, ABB's power system simulations allow you to profit from a correct protection and control strategy, and secure power system operations.
You can utilize power system simulation, for instance, to:
- analyze potential disturbances and their effects on the power system in order to reduce the risk of major service interruptions
- verify protection and control equipment for specific applications
- study the interaction between the power system and the protection and control system
- determine the performance of protection and control equipment during an event or questionable operating situation with the help of customers' disturbance records or simulation files
- identify causes of incorrect operation of protection equipment
- study protection equipment behavior before new hardware, e.g. series capacitors are added to the power system
- select the optimum protection scheme for your application with help of comparative testing of protection equipment using different protection schemes
By means of the digital real-time network simulator, ABB experts are able to simulate transients in your power system, and analyze and verify the operation of your protection and control equipment under various conditions. Combined with our Power System Studies, simulation systems can be fully adapted to represent the characteristics of your network .
