Load Flow & Short Circuit Analysis for Commercial Building in Mexico

Load flow analysis studies are very important aspects of electrical power system planning, study and operation. The power flow gives the entire electrical power system – standard sinusoidal steady state voltage, current, real and reactive power generated, absorbed and network losses.

A short circuit study is an analysis of an electrical installation that determine the current magnitude that flows during an electrical short circuit fault. Comparing these evaluating calculated values against the ratings of the equipment is the initial step to ensuring that your electrical system is protected safely.

Once the prescribed short circuit current levels are known, a protection device coordination study is conducted to find the optimum ratings, settings, and characteristics of the power system protection devices.

A short circuit study helps in determining the available fault current at various locations throughout the system. This would allow the equipment to be properly rated so that it would avoid any future risks or hazards. An underrated equipment failure may cause disastrous effects.

A short circuit study would possibly avoid the chances of arc flash and power loss in the entire system. Thus, a timely short circuit study helps in identifying potential hazards and adopting appropriate control measures.

The initial short circuit analysis must be carried out when we first design a power system . However, for many electrical systems, it is the only time it is conducted. These study & analysis should be done on a regular interval like each five to six years in many situations. It is needed as often whenever the change occurs due to energy changes or addition and expansion of electrical system, such as breakers, motor centers, transformers.

Data collection: Information of all the components, equipment details are obtained & gathered during a visit to the field and from electrical utility and manufacturers, and then tabulated.

Single line diagram: A power system diagram that shows how all components are electrically connected is created, or, if one already exists, updated.

Computer aided analysis: Using power system analysis software, the system information is input and the short circuit fault currents at different locations in the system are computed.

Tabulate results: Typically, the observed results are put into a table format for comparison with equipment ratings in the system. Problematic areas are highlighted.

Final Report: A detailed comprehensive report including recommendations and suggestions for corrective measure is published.
