Description
Summary:The performance of industrial power system studies can be significantly improved in both speed and reliability by the application of a similar format for all standard studies. The major calculations and drafting work are performed using packaged computer programs that provide results in accordance with industry standards. The collection of the initial data for the study is performed using computer-generated forms, which are then the same forms that are used for presenting the results of the study. Incorporated into these forms are calculation routines that simplify the performance of a complex study, such as lookup tables, circuit breaker rating calculations, and initial circuit breaker setting calculations. These standard formats will provide a uniform appearance and reduce the possibility of error in data handling. These formats are the first step to a uniform database format for industrial power system studies. An initial outline for a uniform database format is presented.
