Problem:

Customer was concerned about the stability of two Co-Generators on site when tie to utility was lost
All the data and results were recorded in excel spreadsheets
No valid model of the power system existed in the modern analysis tools
No validation of the load flow study

Solution: "Maintaining the Stability of the System"

Electrical system was accurately modeled
Power flow results were accurately validated with the existing benchmarks and field measurements
Two Co-Generators were modeled with their dynamic parameters including exciter/governor
Multiple scenarios were created to study the stability of the system
Stability limits of the generators w/o the utility were studies
Customer was provided with the full report including graphs, tabular results, observed issues and recommendations
Customer took advantage of the transient stability study as the basis for implementing intelligent load shedding and smart automation of their electrical system later on
