Description

Network Development (LD) Siemens PSS SINCAL Extended Analysis Modules

Requirements and Use Cases of Siemens PSS SINCAL Extended Analysis Modules

In addition to the observation the network with the loads and generating plants at the actual point in time, it is necessary to observe further points in time in medium and long-term periods (years). For this purpose, the necessary measures for the expansion, restructuring or deconstruction of the network, which result from changes in loads, commissioning and decommissioning or exchange of equipment are to be derived.

• Target network planning for medium to long term periods
• Network calculations considering the predicted growth or decrease rates of loads depending on the network area as well as already known data for the commissioning and decommissioning of equipment
• Power consumption and operating points of power plants or renewable generating plants that change over time (e.g. repowering)
• Evaluation of the guaranteed power capacity for network areas for different scenarios of load increase in the supply areas
• Identification of weak points in the network and prioritization of network expansion and restructuring measures as well as determination of economic savings potential

Solution

The module (LD) in Siemens PSS SINCAL, based on the extensive methods for modeling and calculating load flow, allows the calculation of a network at selected times in the medium- or long-term period which is considered for the target network planning.

• Extensive options for modeling increase, consumption and increments of load power as well as the times for commissioning and decommissioning of network elements
• Calculation of the load flow at all (automatically determined) times in the calculation period at which increase, decrease, commissioning and decommissioning occurs in one single calculation run
• Results at the individual points in time and over the entire time period of the evaluation
