Fault currents are calculated for all selected points in the system. Fault flow is calculated for a specified fault at a given point on the system. A percent flicker gradient is used to display the results graphically on the distribution system. Optimization Functions - The optimization functions find solutions for system operating problems. Capacitor placement calculates the optimal capacitor placement and sizing based upon kW losses reduction.
Load balance calculates the optimal phase connections for single and two phase taps.
Optimization is based upon kW losses reduction. Feeder optimization calculates the optimal switching configuration for minimizing kW losses. New switch locations may or may not be allowed based upon user specifications. A model created with too much detail causes calculations to be performed at a slower pace without any improvement in accuracy. The ideal database for different types of studies requires different information.
