Power systems studies

What is a power system study?

This article provides a general overview of the most common power system studies and the differences between them. The purpose of the short circuit study is to determine the ability of each component within an electrical system to withstand and/or interrupt the system current.

What is Electric Power Systems Research?

An international journal devoted to research and new applications in generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electric power Electric Power Systems Research is an international medium for the publication of original papers concerned with the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electrical energy.

Are there standard benchmarks for power system studies?

Standard benchmarks employed for power system studies are reviewed according to nearly 2,500 IEEE journal papers from 1986 to early 2019. Our overview provides the pros and cons of existing test systems, implying the lack of appropriate benchmarks for future power system studies, including renewable resources and modern technologies.

How can a power system study help protect workers?

The data within a power system study can be utilized to safeguard workers by calculating the required level of personal protective equipment and reduce equipment damage by optimizing the fault-clearing capabilities of protective devices.
