Study and simulation of the coordination of electrical protections
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This study analyzes the protection coordination of an electrical system using the ETAP software, which models each element based on the system’s single-line diagram. The initial conditions are established by considering the load levels of the elements and lines, corresponding to the presence of nominal loads. Next, a fault analysis is performed, followed by a protection coordination study that defines fault scenarios in different busbar systems and evaluates the performance characteristics of the protection devices. Finally, a techno-economic analysis is performed, incorporating historical energy consumption data of the industrial plant.
