Electrical network simulation

What it’s about:

We offer expert services for calculating current and voltage waveforms in networks created through computer simulation, under various fault and switching scenarios.

To whom:

  • For companies operating in the electrical and energy sector

Final result:

  • Research helps determine system behavior in various scenarios where testing involves significant risk.
  •  It can be used to determine why the system is not functioning as expected.

Examples of research topics:

  • Overvoltages caused by earth faults and conductor breaks
  • Transformer inrush current surges
  • Propagation of voltage sags caused by short circuits in the network
  • Oscillation in voltage transformers
  • Operation of protective relays during switching changes
  • Functionality of disconnection protection
  • Connection of suction circuits to the network
  • Connection of a wind power plant to the network
  • Propagation of harmonics in the network
  • Simulation publication list (pdf)
