Services
Electranix offers specialist services in power and distribution studies and simulation. Our expertise lies in the following areas:
E-TRAN - Power System Translation Software
Simulation and Studies
Training Services
Consulting Services
E-TRAN - Power System Translation Software
- Translate PSS/e .raw files directly into PSCAD V3 or V4! See the E-TRAN Home Page for more information.
Simulation and Studies - We are able to provide support for PSCAD, Loadflow, Transient Stability and Short Circuit studies, including:
- Simulation and study of complex systems involving power electronics, distributed generation and transmission. This includes the development of advanced simulation models such as FACTS, electric arc and induction furnaces, wind generation systems and others.
- Feasibility and system impact studies for new generation, as well as help with interconnection standard compliance.
- SSR (Sub-synchronous resonance) analysis and shaft damage due to torsional oscillations
- HVDC and AC transmission systems, transmission feasibility studies, reliability assessment, loss evaluation, cost analysis and preparation of technical specifications.
- Insulation coordination of AC and HVDC systems, lightning studies, switching surge studies and ferro-resonance.
- Power quality, D-STATCOM and DVR applications, flicker control, harmonics, active filters, co-ordination of fast response controls.
- Detailed modeling and simulation of digital and analog controls with interfaces to PSCAD/EMTDC, Matlab and real time controllers.
- Voltage sourced converter transmission, upgrading of existing AC lines, transmission alternatives when new overhead transmission has a lengthy permitting process.
- Variable speed drives, cyclo-converters, written pole motors.
- Integration of Wind Farms into AC systems. Reactive power requirements and voltage regulation studies using doubly-fed and stall-regulated induction generators.
- Transmission line and cable modeling and studies. PLC (power line carrier) analysis.
- Tri-pole DC research and application. Tri-pole DC is a very new technology used to upgrade existing 3-phase AC transmission line ratings without any increase in right-of-way requirements.
- Teaching courses or providing hands-on workshops using PSCAD/EMTDC to emphasize course content. Special topics include VSC Transmission, HVDC transmission, FACTS, Insulation coordination.
- As specialists in power system simulation, we can provide support in set-up and modeling of complex systems and controls, as well as on-site support when required.
