Eaton's CYME DER Impact Evaluation module enables engineers to perform generation interconnection system impact studies within minutes rather than hours through the automation of a series of repetitive, time-consuming and error-prone verifications.
Whenever a DER application fails the streamlined interconnection process, an engineer is required to carry further technical analysis to determine if any adverse effects exist and, in such case, decide on the appropriate mitigations. This task can take several hours, if not days, to accomplish since plenty of verifications on an array of load and generation scenarios are involved.
With the objective of speeding up the interconnection process, Eaton's CYME DER Impact Evaluation module automatically performs a comprehensive system impact study that integrates several criteria-based verifications and multiple scenarios in order to flag abnormal conditions.
The module improves productivity by reducing the amount of manual work required at each step of the analysis. Relying on a simplified or detailed model of the installation, the module allows the creation of various study cases by combining system loading conditions (e.g. peak and minimum load) with minimum and maximum DER contributions (e.g. 0 and 100%), all defined as simulation parameters. Controlled load flow analyses are then executed on each scenario to assess the impacts on the system in terms of steady state voltage, transient voltage variations (flicker), thermal overloads and reverse power flow.
A comprehensive set of color-coded summaries and detailed reports allows for quick identification of the issues and level of severity.
Scenarios are created as the combination of diverse system loading conditions with minimum and maximum DER contributions.
Verifications stemming from a set of criteria with adjustable thresholds are performed on each scenario.
Analysis results are returned via a series of reports clearly highlighting violations using a simple and intuitive color-coding.
