Background

Overvoltages, overloads, power losses during a process, deterioration of distribution equipment or generators; these are all electrical incidents which sometimes occur in facilities or on electricity grids.

Requirement

Although they may sometimes have critical repercussions (loss of production, fire, etc.), it is often difficult to understand these incidents because they are likely to call into play complex phenomena, sometimes in a combined way (harmonics, resonances, protection coordination or stability problems, etc.).

Service principle

CAPSIM can assist you in identifying and understanding the origin of incidents occurring in your facility. This expert analysis is based on use of modelling tools as well as CAPSIM’s experience and knowledge in the electrical engineering domain. In addition, CAPSIM will point you in the most relevant direction to find curative and preventative solutions.

Results

CAPSIM is able to analyse a large range of phenomena which arise during an electricity grid problem or a system problem: Inadvertent tripping of a circuit breaker, non-detection of a fault, degradation of a potential transformer, pulsating torque phenomenon on an electrical machine, pumping phenomenon within a regulation system, etc.
