Electrical power distribution and control changes as fast as any field in engineering, and plant personnel rarely have time to perform deep system analysis. These four studies identify hidden risks, verify equipment ratings, and establish that the system operates safely under load and under fault.

  • Load Flow Study

    A load flow study establishes how power actually moves through the system: voltage at each bus, current in each branch, and where the margin is running out.

    • Bus voltage profile under normal and contingency conditions
    • Branch and transformer loading against nameplate rating
    • Power factor and system loss calculation
    • Transformer tap and voltage regulator settings
    • Capacity headroom for planned load additions

  • Short Circuit Study

    A short circuit study determines available fault current throughout the system and evaluates whether equipment is properly rated to interrupt and withstand it.

    • Three-phase, line-to-line and line-to-ground fault calculations
    • Verification of switchgear, transformer, breaker and fuse ratings
    • Identification of under-rated equipment
    • Recommendations for system strengthening

  • Protection Coordination Study

    A coordination study ensures protective devices operate selectively, isolating faults with minimal system impact.

    • TCC curve development
    • Relay setting development
    • Fuse and breaker coordination
    • Identification of miscoordination
    • Optimization for reliability and safety

  • Arc Flash Study

    Arc flash hazard analysis performed to IEEE 1584-2018, covering equipment from 15 kV switchgear down to 120/208 V panelboards.

    • Incident energy calculations
    • Arc flash boundary determination
    • PPE category assignment
    • Equipment labeling
    • Recommendations to reduce incident energy
