Power System
1. Objectives • To provide an introduction to the main features of computer aided design and analysis of power systems and the use of ERACS software package for diagram building and Load Flow analysis. • Enhance the student learning process, by relating the theory and analytical procedures to computer aided techniques for system analysis and problems solving. • To give the student the basic hands-on experience on the use of industry-based software package to simulate faulted power system.
2. Introduction
The ERACS software package comprises the following routines: a) Diagram building, Display and Reproduction (e) Harmonic Impedance (b) Load Flow (f) Transient Stability (c) Short Circuit (g) Protection Co-ordination (d) Harmonic Penetration
The first two items (a & b) form the heart of the suite which are explored in this assignment.
In this assignment, a typical power network is constructed and Load Flow Analysis is performed. Short circuit levels and Fault current levels are monitored and compared with those obtained from analytical calculations. Access to ERACS software is available in Gage Lab.
Throughout this work, you need to refer to ERACS User Guide and Technical Manual available in the Gage Lab. It is important that you familiarize yourself with the package, prior to the lab sessions, by doing the tutorial given in Chapter 3 of the User Guide. You are encouraged to keep a log book to record your progress.
3. Requirements a) ERACS Software Package. This is an industry-based software package for design and analysis of power system networks. A “user guide” and “technical manual” are available for reference. i. You will need to be familiar with the software by doing the tutorial example which will be given to you. ii. Lecture and demo sessions will be conducted by the tutor to facilitate learning.
b) Output Documents. Organize your output
