Realtime Loadflow Analysis
The Load Flow Component of the Nova Engine performs a set of calculations using a model of the power system network and power flow data both obtained from the ANM FEP. The network model and the power flow data may represent historical, forecast, simulated or real-time data depending on how the Nova Engine is being used.
Fault Level Analysis / Transient Analysis
Real time calculation of system fault levels allows the management of circuit breaker operations. Integration with available DERs enables a system where DERs can be tripped, and breakers can be managed in order to reduce excessively high or low fault levels if required.
Rating Analysis and Contingency Analysis
In order to ensure that the system is capable of delivery of the required services at all times this module uses contingency analysis to establish that the power flows and voltages remain within acceptable limits under defined abnormal or N-1 running arrangements.
Thermal and Voltage Violation Detection
The Violation Checking and Generator Curtailment module involves running the power flow analysis and identifying all the thermal and voltage constraints in the network. Several settings are available to allow users to define the thermal and voltage limits for components on an individual and system wide basis.
