We have performed the following studies for both AC and DC networks for the system.
- Loadflow studies
- Short circuit studies
- Protection coordination studies
- Arc flash studies
The scope also includes grounding study, The following are the deliverables
- Design of grounding system
- Preparation of grounding layout
- Step and touch voltage check
The objective was to verify whether the proposed microgrid is operating in stable condition by performing the studies.
- Meticulously analysed the power flow within the microgrid, considering factors such as load demand, renewable energy generation, and energy storage capacity. By ensuring optimal load distribution and voltage control.
- The behaviour of the system under fault conditions is critical for safety and protection. The short time ratings of the equipment are determined by analysing the contribution from the different sources such as PV and Battery
- Protecting the microgrid infrastructure and its connected components is of utmost importance.We performed protection coordination studies to determine the appropriate settings for protective devices, such as relays and circuit breakers
- We have conducted arc flash studies to evaluate the potential hazards associated with electrical arcs. By analyzing the incident energy levels and determining appropriate personal protective equipment requirements.
We have Performed multiple case scenarios to optimize/select critical aspects of the plant design, such as:
- Short time rating of the equipment’s
- Ensuring the Protective Devices are taking timely action
- Personal protective equipment for the live maintenance
Ultimately, this contributes to the efficient and reliable operation of the plant.
Congratulations to Selvakumar S and Ajithkumar Gunasekaran for bagging the project. Congratulations to Suriya for the successful execution of the project.
