load flow & contingency analysis

Our engineers have performed these studies for complete transmission systems, distribution networks, and individual sites, and for a range of purposes. The results often feed into other studies that MPE can undertake such as protection coordination, arc flash and connection studies. The services that MPE offers in this area include:

collecting equipment data in the field
developing a network model
specifying continuous current ratings
assessing existing equipment ratings
specifying transformer impedance & tap ranges
determining generator operating mode
determining generator reactive power requirements
evaluating maximum steady state line capacity
evaluating system reactive compensation requirements
identify required post-fault actions (manual or automatic)
PV and QV curves for assessing steady state voltage stability
