Monday, October 24 PAC 14 Power Quality Software Advances 9:00 am-5:00 pm Today, electricity contracts require high reliability and power quality in energy supply. Due to the proliferation of power electronic equipment, the increased sensitivity of industrial plants to supply disturbances and increased competition, the issue of power quality (PQ) has become particularly important for power utilities. Customers now want a reliable distribution system with high power quality features. Power quality has become a key-issue in energy supply and has a new significance in the wholesale market environment. Non-Linear loads in industrial and commercial systems are an ever-growing fact of life in our society. Understanding their impact on the power distribution network, requires sophisticated modeling tools that will enable designers to study, test and predict interactions between these loads and system components. Only when these interactions are thoroughly understood, effective measures can be taken. When dealing with the flow of Harmonics through the impedances of a power distribution system, one faces the challenges of calculating Load Flows at different frequencies, frequency scans, modeling non-linear loads, etc. Voltage sags and fluctuation due to sudden changes in load demands and /or loss of lines or Generators supplying power to a network are an ever-growing fact of life in our integrated distribution system. Understanding and controlling voltage fluctuation and their impact on the power distribution network, and setting up controls to prevent voltage fluctuations requires sophisticated tools to simulate a large network. Drastic voltage changes could cause millions of dollars of production loss in facilities that need a reliable source and are dependent on the supply network for a continuous and steady flow of un-disturbed power and voltage. Simulation of sophisticated networks need modeling tools to enable designers to study, test and predict interactions between load fluctuations and system components. Only when these interactions are thoroughly understood, and tools used to simulate such interactions are reliable, then effective measures can be taken. The complex nature of these tasks is no trivial matter. EDSA Technical 2005 electrical engineering simulation software provides a broad range of totally integrated, power system solutions, in a robust CAD/CAE system specifically designed for power system design and simulation. The topics covered:
