Aera energy Refinery

Problem:

• The base model was inaccurate and not validated  
• Electrical system needed to be prepared for the advanced studies such as Transient, Harmonics and Protection

Solution: "Establishing a Reliable Base Model for Transient, Protection and Harmonics Analysis"

• Site visit all major substations for possible unknown issues or data which has not been provided or documented 
• Validated entire loadings, transmission lines, transformers and tap settings and generators' settings
• Validated power flow study against the benchmarks and available SCADA metering from the substations  
• Setup multiple loading/generation scenarios to validate the system against the utility recorded metering
• Prepare the model for "Grid Code Compliance" study
• Prepare the model for the "Protective Device Coordination" study
• Prepare the model for the "System Stability" study
