Eaton’s Network Configuration Optimization module is additional to the CYME power system analysis software and is designed to provide engineers with switching plans to obtain optimal network topologies.
It has always been a challenging task for utilities to ensure electricity supply with the current infrastructure while keeping the costs low. As engineers contemplate options such as capacitor placement and Volt/VAR optimization to yield a more optimal outcome from system assets, other solutions such as reconfiguring the network through switching exist as a first step to reducing electricity cost while minimizing the impact on capital use.
The reconfiguration of networks often brings benefits such as reduction of power losses and voltage violations counts. The module offers the following different objectives:
The analysis can be customized with user-specified constraints, including:
Besides suggesting an optimal network topology by switching existing devices, the analysis can also recommend optimal location for new tie points.
With the module’s many options, users can easily simulate what-if scenarios to compare outcomes of different combinations of objectives and constraints.
Results are presented both graphically and in reports to help evaluate the proposed solution.
After the simulation, tags displayed on the one-line diagram let you visualize clearly the switching operations proposed.
The comprehensive report provides:
Eaton’s CYME Network Configuration Optimization module helps users determine possible network configurations to obtain an optimized distribution system.
